Notes

This watch is part of a limited series of 500 examples only produced in the 1990's. After having produced the famous Reverse in the version Tourbillon, minute repeating and Dual time, it took Jaeger LeCoultre two years' studies to realize this Chronographe Retrograde. The complexity of this moclel constrained the creators to use a double dial: one for the usual reacting of the time and the elate, and the other for the chronograph functions.
