The size
We do not ask you for it. The atelier's archive knows the Reverso references one by one: the lug width, the case, the years. Below is what the archive says today; from the reference the rest follows. The watch stays on your wrist.
What changes for the strap
The end of the strap follows the profile of the case between the two lugs. The archive tells you what size your reference has.
The leather
Alligator, box calf, suede, shell cordovan: the leather is chosen together, in the atelier or by video call. Where it enters between the lugs, the strap is as thin as needed; at the wrist it returns to its thickness. The calf lining, the edges painted in several layers, the hand stitching in saddle stitch.
The time
Four, five weeks from confirmation. In the atelier in Via XX Settembre or by video call, wherever you are. Care for the first eighteen months is included.
The next step
The right strap is not chosen. It is built together.

Six generations
The Reverso was born in 1931 for polo players: a case that slides and flips, patented by René-Alfred Chauvot, with the first movements supplied by Tavannes. In 1972 Giorgio Corvo, agent for Italy, found 200 forgotten cases in the manufacture and brought it back to life. In 1994 came the Duoface, two dials and a single movement.
The 1931 Reverso
The first Reverso was released in 1931 with a 23-part case and movements supplied by Tavannes; from 1933 it carried the manufacture calibres 410 and 411.
Reverso Classique
In 1981 Daniel Wild was tasked with remaking the case: 55 parts and, for the first time, water-resistant. With the new case came the Reverso Classique, 17 mm between the lugs.
Reverso Grande Taille
The Grande Taille case measures 42 × 26 mm: in 1991 it was fitted to the Soixantième, from 1992 the series version with the calibre 822. 19 mm between the lugs.
Reverso Duoface
Since 1994, the Duoface has shown two time zones on two dials with a single movement, the calibre 854. In the Grande Taille case, it has 19 mm between the lugs.
Reverso Classic
Since 2016, the Classic line has existed in several cases, and the lug width changes with the width: 18 mm, 19 mm or 20 mm.
Reverso Tribute
The Tribute line was born in 2016 and takes up the codes of the 1931 Reverso. The Monoface Small Seconds has 20 mm between the lugs, the Monoface 18 mm; the strap is designed by Casa Fagliano.
