The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duoface Watch was first created in 1931. The design of the watch was specifically for polo players from Great Britain who were stationed in India. The British polo players wanted a watch that was accurate but also strong enough to wear while playing polo without a risk of damaging the watch. Most watches of that time were designed with crystals that were delicate and usually created from glass. The Reverso was designed differently. Since it was designed for rough games of polo, it had to be much more durable.
The tradition of Breguet watches goes back to the time of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. Breguet developed self-winding watches, shock protection for balance pivots and watches, and gongs for watches that repeat. During the French Revolution, he escaped to Switzerland, but later went back to Paris and developed the first carriage clock, which was sold to Napoleon Bonaparte. Today, new Breguet watches are still in high demand by those who appreciate the highest quality in elegant timepieces.
