Venice is a city that doesn’t just exist, it lingers. In its golden light and labyrinthine streets, time feels slower, more deliberate. It’s here, amidst the gondolas and Renaissance facades, that the elegance of a finely crafted watch feels most at home. On a recent visit, we explored the city with four remarkable Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) timepieces, that perfectly captured the spirit of old-world charm and contemporary refinement.

Cartier Santos

The Cartier Santos is a legacy on the wrist. This reference captures the essence of the original aviation timepiece designed by Louis Cartier for Alberto Santos-Dumont in the early 1900s. With its distinctive square case, exposed screws, and slim profile, the Santos feels as at home under a cuff in a Venetian palazzo as it does in the cockpit of a vintage biplane. Worn in the warm Venetian light, it gives off a subtle, effortless elegance—timeless in the most literal sense.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso

There are watches that make a statement, and then there’s the Reverso—a quiet nod to Art Deco design and engineering brilliance. Originally conceived in the 1930s for polo players, the reversible case is as unique today as it was nearly a century ago. The 270.8.62 reference pairs its iconic rectangular form with a silver dial that catches the light with every move. In Venice, surrounded by classical architecture and mirrored canals, the Reverso’s duality feels just right: sporty and elegant, masculine and refined.

Rolex Day-Date

Few timepieces carry the weight and prestige of the Rolex Day-Date. Nicknamed the “President” for good reason, the 18038 reference in yellow gold embodies confidence and presence. With its fluted bezel, uniquely structured dial, and iconic day and date display, this watch doesn’t whisper. It speaks clearly, with authority. Worn in Venice, it adds a touch of opulence without ever trying too hard. It’s the watch you wear when you’ve made it - and don’t need to prove it.

Vacheron Constantin Historiques

For the connoisseur who values heritage with a hint of avant-garde, the Vacheron Constantin Historiques is an ideal companion. Reference 50000H/000A-B582 revives a mid-century aesthetic through a modern lens. The iconic "Cornes de Vache" lugs make it an instant conversation starter. It’s the kind of piece that feels at home in the winding streets of Venice, where tradition and creativity coexist effortlessly. Quietly daring, undeniably distinguished.

Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned

All four watches are part of Bucherer’s CPO collection, meaning they’ve been carefully inspected, authenticated, and restored where necessary by expert watchmakers. This isn’t just about buying a watch—it’s about acquiring a piece of horological history with peace of mind and enduring style.

In a world that moves quickly, these watches remind us of the power of craftsmanship, elegance, and heritage. Whether you're walking the cobblestone paths of Venice or heading into a boardroom, they speak the same language: that of the modern gentleman.

Few watches have achieved the legendary status of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Born in 1931 as a practical solution for polo players who needed to protect their timepieces, the Reverso has since become a paragon of Art Deco design, mechanical ingenuity, and horological prestige. This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues its legacy of innovation with a series of exceptional new Reverso models. Let's have a closer look at three of the Watches & Wonders 2025 releases.

Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds

Jaeger-LeCoultre introduces a refined interpretation of the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds. Its classic design is elevated with a Milanese link bracelet in 18K pink gold and a beautifully grained dial that perfectly matches the case’s warm hue. This modern rendition enhances the Reverso’s ability to balance timeless aesthetics with contemporary style.

The Milanese bracelet, a design element tracing its roots to 13th-century chain mail craftsmanship, offers a luxurious yet sporty look. Highly durable and exceptionally smooth on the wrist, this bracelet adds a subtle vintage charm to the Reverso’s sleek silhouette. The refined dial remains true to the Reverso’s original purity, with faceted indexes and dauphine hands lending depth and sophistication.

At its heart, the hand-wound Calibre 822 provides a 42-hour power reserve. Designed and assembled entirely in-house, this movement seamlessly integrates with the Reverso’s rectangular case, further solidifying Jaeger-LeCoultre’s reputation for technical mastery.

Reverso Tribute Geographic

For the global connoisseur, the Reverso Tribute Geographic offers a sophisticated take on world time complications. Available in steel or an 18K pink gold limited edition of 150 pieces, this new release celebrates the traveler’s spirit with a practical yet evocative dual-dial design.

On the front, a sunray-finished blue (for steel) or chocolate (for pink gold) dial showcases the Tribute line’s elegant simplicity. A large date display at 12 o’clock is framed by polished metal, while a circular small seconds counter complements the watch’s geometric harmony.

The reverse dial reveals an intricate world-time display with a rotating 24-hour ring set into a polished caseback. The steel model features blue-toned details, while the pink gold edition embraces warm black and grey accents. Jaeger-LeCoultre masterfully blends laser engraving and lacquer application to create a striking world map, a reminder that timekeeping is as much about cultural connection as it is about precision.

Powering this masterpiece is the newly developed in-house Calibre 834, featuring a patented world-time mechanism. Unlike traditional world timers, where the city ring rotates, Jaeger-LeCoultre has reversed the function for enhanced legibility—offering a unique, intuitive approach to global timekeeping.

Reverso Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’

Marking 90 years of Reverso excellence, the Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel’ makes a bold return in a limited edition of 90 pieces. This timepiece blends high horology with artisanal craftsmanship, featuring a stunning reverse dial adorned with a celestial motif.

On the front, an elegant grey sunray-brushed dial maintains the Reverso Tribute’s signature aesthetic, with a Grande Date display at 12 o’clock and a moon phase complication at 6 o’clock. However, turning the case over unveils an artistic marvel: a rich blue enamel dial featuring two apertures—one for a digital hour display and another for a rotating minute disc, framed by a polished pink gold sun and moon against a starry sky. The night sky effect is achieved through layers of deep blue enamel, while engraved latitude and longitude lines subtly reference Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dedication to fine detail.

The hand-wound Calibre 826 powers this exquisite creation. With a semi-jumping digital hour mechanism and a uniquely configured Grande Date display, it showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to mechanical innovation while remaining true to the elegance that defines the Reverso line.

A Legacy that continues to inspire

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s latest Reverso releases are more than just timepieces, they are expressions of craftsmanship, culture, and the timeless pursuit of perfection. Whether through the vintage elegance of the Tribute Monoface Small Seconds, the wanderlust-driven Tribute Geographic, or the celestial artistry of the Tribute Nonantieme ‘Enamel,’ the Reverso continues to evolve while staying true to its iconic heritage.

For the modern gentleman who values precision, artistry, and legacy, these new Reverso models offer the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. After all, a Reverso is not just a watch—it’s a statement of sophistication that stands the test of time.

In the realm of Haute Horlogerie, where timekeeping transcends mere function to become an art form, Jaeger-LeCoultre stands as an icon of innovation and precision. Among their illustrious collections, the Duometre series shines as a testament to the brand's relentless pursuit of pushing the boundaries of watchmaking excellence.

Where Precision Meets Mastery

At the heart of the Duometre collection lies the Dual-Wing concept, a marvel of engineering that embodies Jaeger-LeCoultre's commitment to innovation. This concept, born from the dream to redefine the standards of precision timekeeping, comprises two independent mechanisms intricately united by a single regulating organ. This union not only guarantees unparalleled performance but also elevates the Duometre luxury watches to a league of their own.

The first mechanism within the Dual-Wing movement is dedicated to powering the watch's complications, while the second ensures the precise measurement of passing time. This dual arrangement not only enhances accuracy but also allows for the seamless integration of complex functions within the timepiece. A very good example is the Duometre Chronograph Moon, launched at this year's Watches & Wonders in Geneva.

Owning a Masterpiece

What truly sets the Duometre collection apart is the meticulous attention to detail lavished upon each piece. From conception to completion, every watch is fashioned with masterful craftsmanship and infinite patience. It is in the intricate decoration of the movements where the true artistry of Jaeger-LeCoultre shines.

Utilizing a host of high-precision techniques, the movements of each Duometre watch are meticulously adorned by skilled artisans. One such technique is the patented "côtes soleillées," which leaves an impression on the metal akin to the radiant rays of the sun. This level of detail not only adds visual allure but also ensures a harmonious interaction between all elements of the Duometre timepiece.

Indeed, owning a Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre watch is akin to possessing a masterpiece of horology. Beyond its function as a timekeeping instrument, each watch embodies the culmination of centuries of watchmaking expertise and innovation. It is a symbol of discerning taste and appreciation for the finer things in life. Especially if you opt for a model like the Duometre Quantieme Lunaire with its beautiful gradient blue dial.

In conclusion, the Duometre collection stands as a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre's unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation in watchmaking. With its Dual-Wing concept and exquisite craftsmanship, it embodies the pinnacle of Haute Horlogerie, where precision meets mastery in perfect harmony.

Jaeger-LeCoultre, the renowned Swiss luxury watch manufacturer, invites enthusiasts and connoisseurs on a captivating journey through time and craftsmanship with the launch of the Reverso Stories Experience. This unique exhibition at Zurich's main station pays homage to the iconic Reverso watch, celebrating over nine decades of unparalleled artistry.

A Timeless Icon: The Reverso

The Reverso, with its sleek Art Deco lines and distinctive reversible case, stands as one of the most recognizable watches in history. Born in 1931 on the polo fields of India, this ingenious timepiece was designed to endure the rigors of polo matches. Its revolutionary swiveling case, a patented marvel, became the cornerstone of Jaeger-LeCoultre's legacy.

Over the years, the Reverso has evolved without losing its essence. It has housed more than 50 different calibres and its blank metal flip side has transformed into a canvas for creative expression, adorned with enamel, engravings, and gemstones. This exhibition underscores the Reverso as not just a watch, but a true work of art.

Unveiling the Masterpieces

At the heart of the Reverso Stories Experience lies a fascinating retrospective of Reverso's history and its emblematic models. The exhibition showcases the Métiers Rares of the Manufacture: enamelling, engraving, gemsetting, and guilloché work, emphasizing the Reverso's role as a canvas for artistic expression.

A special highlight of the exhibit is the Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185, featuring four functioning faces. Known as the Reverso Hybris Mechanica "Quadriptyque," this masterpiece, six years in the making, merges traditional savoir-faire with innovative astronomical indications, enabling it to predict upcoming global celestial events.

Art Meets Watchmaking

In addition to the horological marvels, the Reverso Stories Experience introduces visitors to a world where art meets watchmaking. American digital artist Brendi Wedinger unveils a series of artworks inspired by the Vallée du Joux, the Maison's birthplace. Wedinger's pieces mirror the complexity and uniqueness found in Jaeger-LeCoultre watches, creating a mesmerizing fusion of natural beauty and intricate detail.

Renowned Korean digital media artist Dr Yiyun Kang contributes her art installation, "Origin," paying tribute to the omnipresence of the Golden Ratio in the world around us. This immersive narrative builds a bridge between the symmetry in nature and the geometric allure of Art Deco Design.

Jaeger-LeCoultre x Artworth Event

The Reverso Stories Experience is a testament to the enduring legacy of Jaeger-LeCoultre and its iconic Reverso watch. Having made its debut in Munich and London in 2022, this exhibit now graces Zürich with its presence, marking the only stop in Switzerland.

At Artworth we were really happy to invite a select group of guests to experience the pop-up during an exclusive evening at the Reverso 1931 Café. Our guests got to enjoy a nice offering hot beverages as well as champagne in an Art Deco-inspired ambiance.

This unique event turned out to be a great evening for watch enthusiasts and art aficionados alike, offering a rare glimpse into the exquisite world of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Thanks to everyone who took the chance to be part of this extraordinary celebration of timekeeping mastery and artistic expression. Until next time!

During this year's Watches & Wonders fair in Geneva, Jaeger-LeCoultre has unveiled four new Reverso Tribute Small Seconds models. Three of them in a beautiful pink gold. Let us take you on a journey of watchmaking excellence!

A timeless modern Classic

Since its inception in 1931, the Reverso has been a symbol of timeless elegance and sophistication. Originally designed for polo players, its rectangular case and slide-and-swivel mechanism were ideal for protecting the watch from the rigors of the sport. Over the years, the Reverso has become much more than just a watch for polo players. It has become an icon in the world of watchmaking, appreciated for its clean symmetry and distinctive style.

Reverso Tribute Small Seconds

The Reverso Tribute Small Seconds is a contemporary interpretation of this classic, featuring sunbrushed dial variations that create a beautiful contrast with the clean symmetry of the Reverso design. Overall, Jaeger-LeCoultre has launched four new models. In addition to a stainless steel variant with a subtle silvered opaline dial and contrasting black hands and indexes, there are three timepieces with a pink cold case. They come in burgundy, black and silver color variants. We love how all these timepieces revive the codes of the first Reverso born in 1931 - gadroons, applied indexes, dauphine hands - while being resolutely modern.

The Reverso Tribute Small Seconds is highly ergonomic, following the natural curve of the wrist. We love how it evokes the exclusive world of polo and is equipped with a matching strap designed by Casa Fagliano. It creates a unified aesthetic and strong sense of style that underlines the timeless modernity of the Reverso design.

In-House Calibre 822

For this novelty, the manually wound calibre 822 was chosen by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The movement was entirely designed, produced, and assembled in-house. What fascinates us about the calibre 822 is its uncommon rectangular shape that allows it to fit perfectly into the Reverso case. With elegant simplicity, hours and minutes are indicated by dauphine hands, while on the lower half of the dial, the circular track of the small seconds display - a pure expression of its mechanical movement - provides a counterpoint to the linear geometry of the dial and case.

In conclusion, the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds continues to tell the story of this iconic watch. It showcases the art of watchmaking and the brand's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship. With its timeless modernity, it is a watch that will stand the test of time and remain a classic for generations to come.

The Nomadic 1931 Café has just opened in Zurich. Join us on a visit as we immerse ourselves in an Art Deco setting and embark on a classy journey. Are you ready for a multisensory experience by exploring the story of the iconic Reverso?

Experiencing the Nomadic 1931 Café in Zurich

Turn back the clock nearly a century to the 1920s and ‘30s. Imaging yourself in New York, Paris or Shanghai. You are entering an era defined by glamor, vivacity, social progress and the Art Deco style. With its bold geometric forms, the latter had a surprisingly big impact on nearly every aspect of life. In New York, the Art Deco style can be found in the city layout and architecture of iconic skyscrapers. In design and fashion, the Reverso by Jaeger-LeCoultre is a famous example that was inspired by that characteristic style. Now, the Swiss watch brand that has set out to capture the vibrant spirit of this bygone era by opening the Nomadic 1931 pop-up café during the Illuminarium at the Landesmuseum in Zurich.

Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Jaeger-LeCoultre came up with the immersive concept to celebrate the 90th anniversary of its iconic Reverso timepiece. Launched in 1931 and defined by its elegant Art Deco lines, the Reverso has become arguably one of the most recognizable watches of all time. At Artworth, we already wrote and posted about this classy and ingenious timepiece numerous times. For example here.

Made of Makers

With its “Made of Makers” program, Jaeger-LeCoultre is drawing artistic inspiration from beyond the world of watchmaking. The goal of the program is to collaborate with artists outside the industry. The latest partnership is with Alex Trochut, who uses typography as an art form. His mission was to create a new typeface that epitomizes the Art Deco spirit. The result is the 1931 Alphabet, which makes its way to the Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse as well as the local Nomadic 1931 Café.

As you might know, the most unique feature of the Reverso is its revolutionary reversible case. Originally, it allowed British Polo players to slip the watch out of its socket and reverse it to face inwards. Like that it offered protection during rough games. While the dial is reversed, the timepiece reveals a blank metal flipside that has since become a unique canvas for creative expression. It's the perfect space for intricate engravings - like the carefully designed 1931 Alphabet by Alex Trochut.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique in Zurich

While some inspiration for engravings is already offered at the Nomadic 1931 Café, one has to make their way to the beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre boutique at the Bahnhofstrasse 32 in Zurich to get more information. Here, a wonderful Reverso-themed Christmas decoration awaits us, as well as a carefully created wall featuring the Art Deco alphabet by Alex Trochut.

On a tablet, we get to customize our Reverso with a unique engraving. Naturally, we would go for the letters AW. From now on, it will take roughly four weeks until the artisans at the Jaeger-LeCoultre manufacture have completed the intricate engraving. We can't wait to see the result!

Our Artworth at Bucherer event series continues. After Zurich, Bern and Munich, we stopped in Geneva for this latest edition. Besides beautiful views, our guests got to enjoy and discover many other exciting things. Read on to learn more!

Artworth at Bucherer Event Series

Great watches have stories that never end, they just get better with time. This principle is at the core of Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned's philosophy. And the same is true for our event series in which we don't only discover extraordinary timepieces but also high-quality whisky and vintage champagne.

The first event we hosted together with Bucherer was in October 2020. In a time where phyiscal contacts were rare but all the more appreciated. The initial success of this event held in Zurich led us to continue with this format and take it to more cities. After Bern and Munich, we have now arrived in the French speaking world.

A memorable Evening in Geneva

On the evening of 18 October 2022, watch enthusiasts make their way over to Rue du Rhône 45 in Geneva. On the 4th floor of the iconic building with beautiful views of Geneva and its lake, the wonderful Gallery awaits them. Here, drinks are served and small bites enjoyed.

Together with our guests we get to drink Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2013 tonight. We love how every Grand Vintage is unique and expresses the Cellar Master’s personal interpretation of the year. It's already the 75th Grand Vintage in the House’s history. Its maturity is immediately apparent.

Besides champagne and great food, we also get to enjoy some perfectly mixed Negroncino. All is enjoyed inside the beautiful Bucherer Gallery which was opened in 2019 and still sets the industry standard for selling pre-owned watches. What we love in particular is the changing decoration of the Gallery. Currently, the Geneva-based Atelier WOCS is exhibiting their vintage posters here. Some of them have been created exclusively for Bucherer.

In terms of watches, Bucherer is the place to go if you are looking for a special timepiece. Here, you can find rare models like the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet or the Overseas by Vacheron Constantin. But there are also many watches appealing to more specific tastes. Like this Panerai Submersible Ceramica.

Those who know us won't be surprised that we also had a tailor on site to give advice on the latest trends when it comes to suits and jackets. Luca Dalbiondo is a local tailor who strives to craft exclusive, one-of-a-kind garments, tailored to fit his clients and their unique characters perfectly.

Unwinding at the Beau-Rivage Genève

After a long night we're happy to wake up in the beautiful Beau-Rivage Genève. Not far away from last night's location. Here we take in the beautiful views of Lake Geneva before enjoying a wonderful breakfast at Albertine’s. The large choice of à la carte breakfast is truly exquisite.
