The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel Xu Beihong and Horse editions mark the Year of the Horse with craftsmanship that unites horology and art. Produced in only ten pieces each, the watches feature the iconic swiveling Art Deco Reverso case decorated with grand feu enamel, guilloché, and engraving from the Métiers Rares workshops. The Xu Beihong edition is crafted in white gold, showcasing enamel reproductions of the artist’s celebrated horse paintings on the reverse, with guilloché dials in Evergreen Pine Green, Distant Mountain Blue, or Crimson Dawn Orange.
The Horse edition is presented in pink gold with a caseback relief engraving of a horse against a black enamel ground, paired with a matching enamel dial. Both models are powered by the manually wound Calibre 822 with a 42-hour reserve. These limited pieces highlight Jaeger-LeCoultre’s dedication to blending cultural heritage with fine watchmaking.
