Reverso Squadra Black Hometime
<< >>

The Squadra – the first ever Reverso to deliberately turn its back on the famous rectangular proportions to adopt a case with daring square lines – celebrates a return to the sporting origins of the reversible watch, which lie firmly in polo. In admirably understated style, it embodies the timeless values of this equestrian sport that has found its way across continents and down through the generations thanks to its inherently modern spirit.

The Reverso Squadra line now welcomes two complementary models: the Reverso Squadra Hometime Black, the indispensable traveller’s watch; and the Reverso Squadra Chronograph GMT Black, the sports watch capable of measuring performance times. Both are issued in limited series of 500 in 18-carat gold.

The Reverso Squadra Hometime Black in its steel case features the perfectly intelligibility one expects from the ideal travel watch. It precludes any confusion by being equipped with the exclusive Hometime/Travel time system, developed and patented by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The reference time is displayed by a red openworked hand serving as an immediate reminder of the time in one’s place of residence. A rectangular aperture at 9 o’clock displays the indispensable am/pm indication to help the user find his way through the maze of time zones, while the symmetrically arranged opening directly opposite at 3 o’clock is dedicated to the travel time. Driven by the mechanical Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 977 movement, the Reverso Squadra Hometime Black features a number of technical innovations reinforcing its ruggedness and reliability: a balance-bridge screwed on either side to the mainplate to ensure enhanced stability, as well as two catches to avoid any distortion of the mainspring even in the case of violent impacts.

The Reverso Squadra Hometime Black thus plays its way across time zones and continents, travelling the world in step with polo seasons and competitions: from Argentina and summer in the southern hemisphere, to hard-fought matches on the playing fields of England.
