Introduction
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Minute Repeater Ref. Q7122480 is a rare statement of haute horlogerie—crafted in pink (rose) gold as part of a strictly limited edition of just 30 pieces released in 2025. It combines the iconic Reverso case with one of watchmaking’s most revered complications, delivering precise time and melodic chimes in a rectangular form.
Design Dial
Encased in a sleek 51.1 × 31 mm pink gold Reverso case with clear sapphire crystals on both faces, this watch features a mesmerising teal-blue enamel guilloché dial on the front—hand-crafted in the Métiers Rares™ workshop. The reverse side is open-worked to reveal the minute repeater mechanism beneath, highlighted by blue lacquered bridges.
Minute Repeater Mechanism
Powered by the in-house manual-winding Calibre 953, this watch incorporates a staggering 462 components and seven patented innovations designed to enhance its acoustic performance—including trépied hammers, crystal gongs, and the “silent-interval elimination” system. It resonates crystal-clear chimes while delivering a power reserve of 48 hours.
Movement Performance
The Calibre 953 beats at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and holds 72 jewels within its movement architecture. It enables time to be displayed on both the front and back faces—a rare dual-display feature for a minute repeater. The piece includes refined finishing like polished bevels, circular graining, and a modern slider integrated seamlessly into the case side.
Strap Comfort
The watch is paired with a premium black alligator leather strap, secured by a designer pink-gold folding clasp composed of 46 parts and fine 0.5 mm micro-adjustments—balancing comfort, elegance, and precision.
