Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel Xu Beihong Standing Horse | Limited Edition Luxury Watch

Experience the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel featuring Xu Beihong's Standing Horse masterpiece. Hand-crafted miniature enamel painting meets Swiss luxury watchmaking. 80+ hours of artisan work.


Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel Xu Beihong Standing Horse

The Reverso watch has captivated collectors since 1931. This latest creation transforms the iconic timepiece into an art gallery on your wrist.

The Masterpiece Behind the Watch

Xu Beihong's "Standing Horse" comes alive on the Reverso's case back. Master artisans recreate this Chinese ink wash painting using miniature enamel techniques.

The horse symbolizes power and grace. Xu Beihong captured these qualities in his original 1931 artwork. Now you can carry this cultural treasure wherever you go.

Craftsmanship That Takes Your Breath Away

Creating each watch requires over 80 hours of manual work. Métiers Rares craftsmen fire the enamel multiple times at 800°C temperatures.

This process creates the subtle color variations you see in the finished piece. Each firing brings the artwork closer to perfection.

The Technical Details That Matter

The Case Back:

  • Hand-painted enamel reproduction
  • Black ink gradations match the original
  • Multiple kiln firings for depth

The Dial:

  • Guilloché herringbone pattern
  • Translucent orange Grand Feu enamel
  • Creates striking visual contrast

Why This Watch Stands Apart

You get two artistic experiences in one timepiece. The front dial showcases Swiss precision. The back celebrates Chinese artistic heritage.

The reversible case lets you choose which masterpiece to display. Flip between technical excellence and cultural artistry with a simple gesture.

A Tribute Worth Owning

This watch honors the Year of the Horse while celebrating two artistic traditions. Swiss watchmaking meets Chinese painting in perfect harmony.

The Standing Horse represents untamed energy and noble spirit. These same qualities define the Reverso collection itself.

Investment Value and Collectibility

Limited production makes each piece rare. The combination of artistic heritage and technical mastery appeals to serious collectors.

You own both a functional timepiece and a wearable art piece. This dual nature protects your investment over time.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Enamel Xu Beihong Standing Horse transforms the iconic 1931 reversible watch into wearable art. Master craftsmen spend over 80 hours hand-painting Xu Beihong's famous horse artwork in miniature enamel on the case back, using multiple 800°C kiln firings for authentic color gradations. The front features a guilloché dial with translucent orange Grand Feu enamel, creating visual contrast between Swiss precision and Chinese artistic heritage. This limited edition combines luxury watchmaking with cultural significance, making it valuable for collectors seeking both technical excellence and artistic meaning.
