Jaeger-LeCoultre has taken the Miami Design District for a free pop-up celebrating nine decades of the Reverso, one of watchmaking's most recognized designs. The exhibition moves through four chapters covering the watch's history, design evolution, technical innovation, and craftsmanship, with archival timepieces, high jewellery creations, and a live perlage demonstration, a decorative watchmaking technique rarely seen outside the atelier.
The Miami edition debuts five new Reverso 'Or Deco' pieces set with 46 colored gemstones, alongside the Reverso Hybris Artistica Pegasus, hand-engraved over 180 hours, and a platinum Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual limited to 20 pieces worldwide. A 3D video sculpture by Dr. Yiyun Kang, a webcomic by Olivecoat, and a café experience by 2024 World's Best Pastry Chef Nina Métayer round out the experience. Open through May 31 at the outdoor space on NE 40th and 1st Avenue (where the food trucks are parked). Free with RSVP, walk-ins welcome, guided tours approximately 30 minutes.
