Jaeger-LeCoultre’s recent releases take horological elegance to a new level. The artisanal mastery of the brand’s Métiers Rares atelier combines timekeeping precision with fine art, bringing to life the last four exquisite illustrations from Katsushika Hokusai’s series, A Tour of the Waterfalls of the Provinces.
The Reverso timepiece, famed for its reversible case, has served as an apt canvas for creative ingenuity since 1931. Notably, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s tribute to Japanese artist Hokusai through earlier models, featuring the Great Wave and an array of waterfall compositions, has received significant acclaim. The newest introductions retain the classic Reverso Tribute construction, with 18k white gold cases measuring 45.6mm by 27.4mm and 9.73mm thickness, framed by polished surfaces and signature gadroons.
For horology aficionados, the commencement of Watches and Wonders 2026, held in Geneva, proved to be an event of grandeur, marked with unveilings from leading brands, engaging conversations, and insightful podcasts, courtesy of Hodinkee Radio.
