Eastern art and cultural motifs have been frequently visited and incorporated into Jaeger-LeCoultre\u2019s time-telling offerings ever since its early days. A more recent example is the special edition Reverso Tribute that was unveiled around the Lunar New Year time back in 2022. On the piece\u2019s enamel caseback is a tiger motif, illustrated in a Chinese watercolor-art style. This time around, Jaeger-LeCoultre pays homage to the great ukiyo-e artist, Hokusai with two limited-edition Reverso Tribute wristwatches.<\/p>\n
Similar to previous Reverso Tribute iterations, the new editions are built with dual faces. On one side, boasts a guilloch\u00e9 dial that is adorned with sleek hour markers and dauphine hands. On the other side, the watch showcases a miniature enamel painting. Two versions are created with each featuring a different iconic wood-block art from the legendary Japanese artist.<\/p>\n
The Waterfall at Yoshino<\/i> edition captures a snapshot from a famous Japanese tale about the heroic yet tragic life of General Minamoto no Yoshitsune. When it\u2019s on its primary watch face, this edition can be differentiated from its sister reference with its Lozenge guilloch\u00e9 dial. The Waterfall at Ono<\/i> edition is outfitted with Barleycorn guilloch\u00e9, while the caseback depicts the renowned waterfall with a powerful sense of life.<\/p>\n
