Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled its sixth The Collectibles capsule collection at its flagship boutique on Old Bond Street in London. The display features 12 restored vintage watches, including seven Reverso models spanning from 1931 to the early 2000s. All pieces have already been sold.
The Swiss watchmaker brought the collection to the British capital for the first time. A team of 10 master watchmakers restored the timepieces at the manufacture in Le Sentier, servicing movements and recreating parts by hand where needed while preserving original patina.
Among the highlights are a 1938 Reverso Central Seconds with a pulse scale, a 1972 Reverso Corvo that helped revive the model in the 1970s, and a 2000 Reverso Sun Moon with a hand-wound caliber 823. Other pieces include a 1946 Triple Calendar Moonphase made for the French market and a 1970 Geomatic E560 chronometer.
Each watch comes with an archive extract and a bespoke leather strap. The exhibition remains open for viewing at the boutique, though the items are no longer available for purchase.
