Jaeger-LeCoultre brings haute horology to DWJE

- MERIAM JELLITI

THIS year, aeger- eCoultre brought the art of haute horology from the heart of the Vall e de oux to the halls of the 1 th Doha ewellery Watches Exhibition, showcasing some of the Maison’s standout timepieces.

This year, aeger- eCoultre has selected some iconic pieces to showcase at the exhibition, particular­ly the Reverso.

Created over 90 years ago, aeger- eCoultre’s Reverso is a singular example of art deco design, a daring embodiment of modernity and an uncompromi­sing piece of art that has evolved over time with shifting tastes and technology.

From the start, the Reverso was radically innovative in both its fundamenta­l concept and the engineerin­g of the intricate mechanism that enabled the case to be turned over and locked into place.

Made originally to withstand the rigours of polo matches, the swiveling mechanism was created to protect the fragile front glass of the timepiece. Now more than nine decades later with several technical innovation­s, the back of the Reverso has evolved from being a protective cover to the finest available blank canvas, upon which the owner and artisan alike may demonstrat­e their appreciati­on and patronage of high craft - a testament to aeger- eCoultre’s inventive watchmakin­g.

The Reverso’s enduring success over time is not only attributed to the the mechanical complexity of the watchmakin­g but to the values that lie in the ingenious conception and perfect execution.

“aeger- eCoultre is proud to be part of the Doha ewellery and Watches Exhibition for another year and we’re always excited to showcase unique and exclusive pieces that highlight the Maison’s bespoke craftsmans­hip and exceptiona­l expertise. We look forward to welcoming the watch collectors and aficionado­s to our booth to experience over 1 years of luxury watchmakin­g expertise, inventiven­ess and craftsmans­hip that define aeger- eCoultre,” said

aeger- eCoultre’s Middle East, India and South Africa Brand Director Nader Iskander.
