For a watch to withstand such impacts, de Trey concluded, the case would have to detach from its support and spin on an axis, allowing the face to be tucked away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He approached his friend Jacques-David LeCoultre, a third-generation Swiss watchmaker, with the idea. LeCoultre and his frequent collaborator Frenchman Edmond Jaeger were well known for their superlative horological creations. The pair enlisted French industrial designer Ren\u00e9-Alfred Chauvot to devise a smart-looking watch with a case that swiveled to form its own shield. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/jaeger-lecoultre-reverso\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-950x950.jpg\" alt=\"A gold Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso with the case back facing forward\" class=\"wp-image-400120\" width=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-950x950.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-933x933.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back-216x216.jpg 216w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kleanthous-Jaeger-LeCoultre-Reverso-Art-Deco-9-Carat-Gold-1938-Case-Back.jpg 1318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Though the Reverso&#8217;s smooth case back has often been used as a canvas for engraving or enameling, the one on this example is untouched.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The result was an instant hit.
