Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Ref. Q398847J – Twin-Time Elegance in Stainless Steel
Introduction
The Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Small Seconds Ref. Q398847J celebrates the iconic 1931 Reverso design with refined dual-time sophistication. Launched in 2025, this stainless steel marvel merges handsome Art Deco lines with practical functionality—perfect for the modern gentleman or frequent traveler.
Case Size
Crafted in polished stainless steel, the rectangular case measures 47 × 28.3 mm with a slim 10.34 mm thickness—ideal for both elegance and comfort. The classic galbe, fluted Art Deco case, and flipping mechanism preserve Reverso heritage.
Front Dial – Black Sunray Finish
The front dial shines in deep black sunray lacquer, achieved through multiple layers that radiate under light. It features polished Dauphine hands, applied baton indices, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. A silver-rail minute track adds contrast without muddling the sleek aesthetic.
Reverse Dial – Silver Sunray 24‑Hour Indicator
Flip the case to reveal a refined silver sunray reverse dial, complete with second-time‑zone hands and a 24‑hour day/night indicator at 6 o’clock. This practical travel display remains clean and intuitive.
Movement Performance
Inside is the hand-wound Calibre 854, a high-performance rectangular movement with 160 components, 19 jewels, and a 42‑hour power reserve. Developing in-house, it beats at 21,600 vph and elegantly drives dual-face dials through a single movement. It also incorporates a concealed pusher to adjust the second time zone—clever and discreet.
Straps Wearability
The watch is accompanied by two Casa Fagliano straps: one black calfskin leather, and another black calf-leather with grey canvas. Both are secured with an interchangeable double-folding stainless-steel clasp, allowing easy style swaps for different occasions.
