A Renaissance in Time—How the Corvo Family Revived the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso
The Corvo family’s proposal led to the creation of approximately 200 special edition Reverso watches, each one a masterpiece of design and history. These watches, crafted with old parts, were a nod to the past, yet they resonated deeply with modern collectors. When the collection was released, it caused a sensation. The limited run sold out almost instantly, proving the Corvo family’s belief in the Reverso was well-founded.
This success did not go unnoticed. The overwhelming demand for the special edition prompted Jaeger-LeCoultre to rethink the Reverso’s place in their collection. What started as a regional initiative in Milan blossomed into a global renaissance for the Reverso, cementing its status as one of the most iconic watches in horological history.
The Corvo family’s commitment to Jaeger-LeCoultre and their keen understanding of the market not only saved an iconic timepiece from potential obscurity but also reaffirmed the enduring appeal of timeless design. Their story is a testament to the power of vision, passion, and the belief that sometimes, the key to the future lies in honoring the past.
