JAEGER-LECOULTRE – THE REVERSO SECRET NECKLACE
This piece reinterprets the Reverso’s Art Deco origins. A union of jewellery arts, rare handcrafts and fine watchmaking is what makes the piece a must have. With the Reverso Secret Necklace, Jaeger-LeCoultre takes the creative legacy to a new level. One could say that it is a jewel that Tells Time.
The Reverso Secret Necklace transforms into a graceful feminine sautoir, or long necklace. The cordonnet, the original black textile bracelet (literal translation: fine or small cord) seen on Reverso models of the 1930s has been reimagined as a supple chain of intricate diamond-set links and polished onyx beads from which the Reverso is suspended. Two pendants of polished onyx charms add panache to this new way of wearing the time.
Recalling the Art Deco origins of the Reverso, the reverse side of the pink gold case is set with white diamonds and black onyx in an intricate pattern. Vertical rows of diamonds wrap around the convex sides of the case and frame the dial. The centre of the dial is set with white diamonds. Each of the tiny links that form the supple chain have been set with diamonds.
