Free rein

While horses are often celebrated for their fiery spirit, the noble steed just as easily represents enduring strength and quiet grace. For those who resonate with the latter, these understated timepieces offer a refined way to embody that grounded power

Over 80 hours of engraving work and 10 differently sized chisels were required to sculpt the majestic motif on the Grand Feu-enamelled caseback of this Jaeger Le-Coultre Reverso Tribute. The animal’s forelegs leap out from golden clouds, sand-blasted to enhance the illusion of movement. Contrasting details on the mane, muzzle and hooves are hand-drawn with black rhodium to add a lifelike appearance to the horse. In a limited edition of just 10 watches, the timepiece carries a double equine reference as the iconic Art Deco model also shares intimate linkages to polo.
