In 1930, César de Trey was challenged to find a way to protect the crystal of a wristwatch for polo players during matches. De Trey's idea was ingenious: a case that could be turned upside down. He asked his friend Jacques David LeCoultre to produce the watch, and the two commissioned René Alfred Chauvot to design it. Thus, the Reverso watch was born.
