My Reverso Story is an independent, fan-made archive of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, built by and for its collectors. Like the watch, it has two sides: the stories collectors tell about their own Reversos, and a reference for everything Reverso. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Two sides, like the watch
The stories. Collectors write about their own watches in their own words: how a Reverso reached them, what is engraved or enamelled on its back, and why it matters. Every story is told by the watch’s owner. Read them in Stories and meet their owners in Collectors.
The reference. Alongside the stories, the archive gathers what is known about the Reverso itself: the models made since 1931, the calibres inside them, limited, market and anniversary editions, pièces uniques, commemorative editions and artistic series, and the watch’s heritage.

How collector stories are published
Every collector story is submitted by the watch's owner through the form on the home page, with photos of the front and the back. Each submission is read by hand before it appears on the site; nothing is published automatically.
The stories are the owners' own first-person accounts, entered by the site's curators from what collectors send in. Email addresses are never published and are used only to reach the owner about the submission.
Where the facts come from
Historical notes are drawn from public reporting on the watch's history and innovations since 1931. Entries name their sources where a specific claim needs one: auction catalogues such as Artcurial's 2011 Jaeger-LeCoultre sale, collector references such as Basha's guide to Jaeger-LeCoultre, and the press coverage linked on each series page.
References, piece counts and other details vary by market and source, and some are still unverified; the pages say so where it matters. Verify before relying on them.
Corrections and additions
If you own or can document a piece, spot an error, or have a missing reference or photo, get in touch through the form. Corrections are read by the same people who read every submission.
For search engines and AI assistants
Every page is served as complete HTML. A plain-text overview is at /llms.txt and the full text of the archive at /llms-full.txt; most pages also have a Markdown version at the same address ending in .md. New collector stories are announced in the RSS feed.
