Featuring a silvered guilloche dial on a reversible case, this JLC Reverso replica carries the design principle that has defined the Reverso since 1931. The case flips on its cradle to reveal a second face or a solid caseback, depending on the specific reference configuration. Jaeger-LeCoultre originally created the swiveling mechanism to protect the crystal during polo matches, and that functional origin story still anchors the entire Reverso collection today. On this women’s version, the Art Deco proportions are scaled to a feminine wrist size while retaining the rectangular silhouette that makes every Reverso instantly recognizable.

Technical Overview

• Case shape: rectangular, reversible on cradle
• Dial: silvered with guilloche rays radiating from the centre, black Arabic numerals, blued steel hands
• Crystal: sapphire
• Functions: hours, minutes
• Strap: leather
• Movement: clone Cal. 822/2, manual-wind, 21,600 vph
• Power reserve: 40 hours (genuine Cal. 822/2: 42 hours)
• Water resistance: 30 m (same as genuine)

The reversing mechanism uses a slide-and-flip action where the case travels along rails in the carrier frame before rotating 180 degrees. No other watchmaker currently uses this system, which remains exclusive to Jaeger-LeCoultre after nearly a century of production.

Inside the Movement

The movement sits inside a case that must accommodate the flip mechanism, which means the internal architecture is shaped differently from a standard round watch. The caliber is oriented to account for the rectangular case proportions, placing the crown at the narrow end of the case rather than at three o’clock. The silvered guilloche dial on this version presents a clean layout with minimal text, letting the case geometry and the reversing feature serve as the primary design elements. Compared to the rose gold Reverso with diamonds, this steel version sets its diamonds along the upper and lower edges of the cradle frame and leaves the rest to proportions and finish. Both sit in the Reverso catalog, showing how one iconic case shape reads in diamond-set steel and in rose gold.

What Sets It Apart

The Reverso is one of few watch designs where the mechanism of the case, not just the movement, defines the identity. Flipping the case is a tactile experience that no round-cased watch can replicate. This women’s version keeps the silvered guilloche dial clean and the proportions compact, ensuring it works as both a daily watch and a subtle statement piece. This Reverso super clone delivers that dual-natured character that has kept the Reverso relevant for over nine decades.
Hours and minutes only, set inside a diamond-framed steel cradle, make this one of the quieter ways into the line, and the women’s Reverso references are listed on a single page where the compact sizes can be set against the full-length ones. How the family places against Master Control, Polaris and the Duometre is argued out in our ranking of JLC super clones.
