Limited to 8 pieces for each painting and available exclusively in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s boutiques, the new Reverso Tribute Enamel watches commemorate the 100th death anniversary of Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, whose styles ranged from symbolism to Art Nouveau. Each painting is a faithful reproduction of the original and required more than 50 hours of work. The biggest challenge was capturing every little detail of a large painting on a small 3cm² white gold surface.

The artisans didn’t slouch either when it comes to the watch dial on the other side. It was guilloched and engraved to produce a weave-like pattern, and then covered with translucent enamel of different colours.

This is not the first time the Reverso paid tribute to world-famous painters. Earlier this year, the Reverso featured the works of French artist Georges Seurat, Chinese painter Xu Beihong and Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai from the Edo period.
