The story goes that after a polo match in India, some British officers challenged their friend Cesar de Trey to create a watch that was able to resist the serious beatings caused by polo sport. Once back in Europe, Cesar de Trey (businessman) shared the problem with Jacques-David LeCoultre, who creates the Reverso watch in association with Jaeger. The Reverso watch was patented in 1931 (the 4th of March to be precise) and was originally designed by Rene-Alfred Chauvot.Almost 80 years later, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is still going strong and it is one of the classic watches that can also easily be referred to as a cult watch. The rectangular shape, the Reverso mechanism, the inhouse movement and the magnificient designed Jaeger-LeCoultre logo on the dial makes this a watch you can identify as being a JLC Reverso from a 100 yards distance (with a grain of salt). However, this isn’t a watch for show-offs. It is far too elegant and delicate to be recognized by the heavily suntanned -type of jet setters.For the watch enthusiasts or collectors, a vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso as shown above is probably a welcome addition to their collections. I found one at , a watchstore in a small harbour town in The Netherlands. has a very impressive bricks ‘n’ mortar shop, but a webshop as well. A reliable address for your wristwatches, repairs and servicesThis 1930s handwound Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is in good running order and for 5750 Euro (including a one year warrantee) it is probably a solid investment as well. For this kind of money, you can also buy a new one. But so can your neighbour So if you really want something special, take a look at this vintage timepiece.Personally, I wouldn’t use it for polo or any other kind of sports activity. Although it was meant to resist hard knocks, my guess is that the mechanic movement, case and crystal suffered big time during these polo activities. I can see myself buying a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso in the far future, the brand’s history (and especially this model’s) and the fact that I will ‘need’ a decent dress watch some time, makes this type of watch very desirable. Perhaps even a (red) gold one, for when I am old. 40something

Two U.S. Navy SEALs continue to wear Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs during deployant The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum hosted its 24th annual Veterans Day Ceremony ("Muster") on November 7th and 8th in Fort Pierce, Florida. Members of the Jaeger-LeCoultre North American team were on hand to witness and participate in the activities, including a 5K race, a live auction, and a live capabilities demonstration preformed by US Navy SEALs. The Veterans Day ceremony honored several guests including Adm. Eric Olson, commander, U.S. Special Operations Command, and guest speaker Capt. Richard Phillips, former captain of the Maersk Alabama, who was held captive by pirates off the coast of Somalia before being rescued by the Navy SEALs. "I am honored to stand here today in the midst of the true heroes of the Naval Special Warfare, " Phillips said. "Without their training and dedication, I can honestly say that I would not be standing here today." "The muster is a great way to get both the frogmen and the public together to honor the legacy of Naval Special Warfare," McSween said. "The Museum is located on the original training grounds of the Navy's Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs), which are the precursors to the modern-day SEALs. I can't think of a more appropriate location to bring the men of Naval Special Warfare together: this is their birthplace. It is great to witness SEALs revisit such an important place in their history". Among the SEALs performing the capabilities demonstration, including fastroping, a sniper demonstration, and a hostage rescue, were two individuals who are currently testing and evaluating the newest addition to the Jaeger-LeCoultre diving line: the Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs. As part of this program, these US Navy SEALs will be wearing the watch during their deployants and operations around the world. In addition to gathering performance information about the watch in an operational environment, they have visually documented it as well.
