Akin to Jaeger-LeCoultre, AC Milan stands for excellence. In both our fields, we have reached new highs in 2011: AC Milan by claiming their 18th Scudetto, Jaeger-LeCoultre by continuing to be the most inventive watch-manufacture in Switzerland by filling around 15 new patents every year and by producing in-house, elegant and complicated pieces. It is with great pride that we join forces with a team that shares our values of passion, tradition and brilliance. First created in 1931 for polo players, the Reverso has become a veritable icon. Our master craftsmen have been honoured to be commissioned to make a special version for the managers, coaches and players of AC Milan to celebrate their 18th Scudetto.” An event that sees the merger of two legends with illustrious heritage, it will be a thrilling affair as proficiency in sporting comes together with the nimbleness of superior watch making.
