Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds Ref. Q713842J – Sleek Art Deco Reprise in Steel
Introduction
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds Ref. Q713842J revives the elegant heritage of the original 1931 Reverso, presented here in a stainless steel case with a refined opaline silver dial. Launched in 2023 as part of the Tribute collection, this timepiece combines classic aesthetics with modern craftsmanship.
Case Dimensions
The watch features a polished stainless steel case measuring 45.6 x 27.4 mm, with a slim profile of just 8.51 mm. Its slide-and-swivel mechanism—built from over 50 components—honors the iconic Reverso design while offering protection and personalization via its reversible caseback.
Dial Hands
The silvered-grey opaline dial uses sunray brushing for subtle light play and is contrasted by deep black Dauphine hands and polished rhodium-plated applied hour markers. A small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock adds balance and mechanical interest without overcrowding the dial.
Movement Mechanics
Inside resides the in-house manual-winding Calibre 822, a hand-decorated rectangular movement comprised of 108 components, 19 jewels, and a single barrel. It vibrates at 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and offers approximately 42 hours of reliable power.
Strap Comfort
Complementing the watch Q713842J is a black bi-material strap from Casa Fagliano, crafted from leather and canvas. The strap is interchangeable and secured with a stainless steel double-folding clasp, ensuring comfort and easy personalization.
