Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Geographic Ref. Q714256J – Elegance Exploration United
Introduction
The Jaeger‑LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Geographic Ref. Q714256J is a contemporary tribute to the timeless Reverso spirit, blending Art Deco elegance with the sophistication of world-time functionality. Presented in 2025 as a limited edition of just 150 pieces, this watch reflects JLC’s mastery in crafting timepieces that marry design and purpose.
Design Case
Housed in a hand-polished 18 k pink-gold case measuring 49.4 × 29.9 mm, the Q714256J frames a stunning sunray-finished chocolate-brown dial on its front face. The rectangular design echoes the original 1931 Reverso, offering refined case proportions ideal for both formal and everyday wear.
Front Dial Display
The front features signature Reverso aesthetics: a chemin-de-fer minute track, dauphine hands, and applied 4N gold baton markers. At 12 o’clock sits a large double-date window, while a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock balances the layout. The chocolate sun-ray finish adds rich depth and exceptional visual texture.
Reverse Face – Geographic Function
On the reverse, a world-time complication unfolds with surprising ease: press the ergonomic pusher to advance the 24-hour disc of cities around a central lacquered map. Polished pink-gold continents float atop a black-lacquered ocean for clarity and elegance. This second dial displays home or reference time in a glance.
Movement Power Reserve
Inside is the in-house Calibre 834, a hand-wound movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Crafted with 209 components, 18 jewels, and running at 21,600 vph, the calibre drives both the dual-face time display and the twin-dial date and seconds. Meticulous hand-finishing and manufacture provenance ensure accuracy and luxury.
Strap Comfort
The Q714256J arrives with two interchangeable straps: a chocolate-brown calfskin or black alligator secured with a pink-gold pin buckle. Lug width is 22 mm, and quick-change spring bars support versatile wear. Water resistance is rated at 3 bar, suitable for daily protection.
