Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC) will participate in the 21st edition of Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition, being held in Doha, Qatar during 30 January – 5 February 2025.
JLC, based in the Vallée de Joux in Switzerland, is known as the The Watchmaker of Watchmakers™.
JLC will showcase models from its Reverso and Duometre collections. In addition, they will perform live demonstrations of two watchmaking techniques – perlage, and movement assembly of the Duometre.

Reverso
“Since its creation in 1931 as a watch designed for polo players, the Reverso has transcended its sporting origins to become a timeless icon, embraced by trendsetters and widely recognized as a masterpiece of 20th-century design.”
JLC will showcase the Reverso Tribute Chronograph and Reverso One Duetto.
Reverso Tribute Chronograph

“The Reverso Tribute Chronograph timepiece pays homage to the ground-breaking Reverso Chronograph of 1996 and introduces a fresh perspective with the new Calibre 860. Not only does it unveil the exquisitely crafted chronograph mechanism on the reverse side, but it also displays the time indication on both the front and reverse, showcasing innovation and reverence for tradition.”
Reverso One Duetto

“The classic Reverso One Duetto revisits the codes of the first feminine Reverso models, emblematic of the Art Deco style: a rectangular and elongated case, dials with contrasting aesthetics, a double set of hands turning in opposite directions while indicating the same time, gadroons adorned with two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds. On the verso of the watch, the burgundy, glitter-lacquered dial highlights the elongated hour markers, which beam like rays of sunlight.”
Duometre

JLC will “showcase a new generation of Duometre timepieces including the Duometre Chronograph Moon launched at Watches and Wonders 2024. Powered by Calibre 391, this piece presents a fascinating contrast between the lightning-fast operation of the chronograph, capable of timing intervals as small as 1/6th of a second, and the slow rhythm of the moon as it completes its cycle in 29.53 days, complemented by a Night and Day display.”

JLC will also showcase the Duometre Quantieme Lunaire (Moon Phase). “A reinterpretation of the first Duometre piece offered in steel, with an eye-catching blue dial, that pairs with a new case, to lend a contemporary touch to a timeless and distinctive design. The deep blue dial of the Duometre Quantieme Lunaire features long, fine hands – characteristic of all Duometre watches – and the symmetrical layout, with three sub-dials in an inverted pyramid, make a striking impression.”
