Usher

The Reverso One Duetto Jewellery illustrate the perfect union of fine watchmaking and high jewellery down to the smallest detail.
With its case, entirely set with diamond, this time piece is the express the full potential of an icon that never ceases to inspire the watchmakers of La Grande Maison and the craftsmen of the Métiers Rares workshop.
Tramell Tillman
Tramell Tillman exuded elegance and charm, embodying a timeless fusion of craftsmanship and style with the Reverso Tribute Tourbillon in pink gold (750/1000).
The Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon is a glorious expression of the Calibre 847, with its iconic swivelling case and dual aesthetics. On the recto, the Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon has an elegant yet highly distinctive presence allowing the tourbillon to take centre stage. Capturing the spirit of the early 1930s models, the pared-down aesthetic and signature details of the dial exude refinement. The reverse dial of the watch projects an altogether bolder character. Enhanced by partial skeletonization and glorious decoration, the gold bridges are remarkably contrasted by the black sunray-brushed dial.
Kaytranada
Kaytranada attended the 2025 Met Gala in New York donning a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon in stainless steel.
Originally developed in 1994, the Reverso Duoface concept is defined by two contrasting dials, each displaying a different time zone and operated by a single mechanism. The creation of the Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon was driven by the desire to combine the Duoface concept with a tourbillon visible on both dials, without adding thickness to the calibre.
To achieve this, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s engineers had to completely re-think the tourbillon mechanism. They dispensed with the upper bridge that normally supports a tourbillon, replaced the outer tourbillon cage with a peripheral ball-bearing system and used the Maison’s patented S-shaped hairspring so that the spring and balance wheel could be fixed at the centre of the tourbillon. As a result, Calibre 847 is only 3.9mm thick and the entire watch is only 9.15mm thick
Ego Nwodim
Ego Nwodim opted for the Reverso One Duetto High Jewellery. The Reverso One Duetto High Jewellery illustrate the perfect union of fine watchmaking and high jewellery down to the smallest detail.
With its case, entirely set in baguette-cut diamonds, this time piece is the express the full potential of an icon that never ceases to inspire the watchmakers of La Grande Maison and the craftsmen of the Métiers Rares workshop.
Omar Sy
Omar Sy made a sophisticated statement by donning the limited edition Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph in pink gold (750/1000, 18 carats) at the 2025 Met Gala.
The Reverso Tribute Chronograph perfectly embodies the Maison’s seamless blend of watchmaking heritage and contemporary design, capturing the timeless sophistication that aligns effortlessly with Derrick Rose’s bold persona.
Capitalising on its swivelling concept, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph marries watchmaking tradition to modern aesthetics. The sophisticated recto echoes the original Reverso while its open-worked verso is resolutely modern.
The verso of the watch reconnects its sporty complication to the roots of fine watchmaking. The dials, consisting in two rings integrated to the calibre’s plate are finished in black for a perfect legibility, essential for a chronograph.
