Under the flashbulbs of fashion’s most theatrical night, Jaeger‑LeCoultre seized the spotlight at this year’s Met Gala red carpet to debut its unreleased Reverso Tribute Monoface “Or Deco” Cocktail watches, showcased on the wrists of actors Finn Wolfhard and Tyriq Withers.
Born from the Art Deco movement of the 1920s, cocktail watches were conceived not merely to track the hours but to serve as dazzling pieces of jewelry proudly displayed at high‑society soirées. The Reverso Tribute Monoface “Or Deco” Cocktail series revives this golden age of gem‑set timepieces from the ’20s and ’30s. Wolfhard and Withers wore references housed in 18k white gold, each set with 46 baguette‑cut sapphires and emeralds respectively.
Jaeger‑LeCoultre has confirmed that a third variant will complete the collection, crafted in 18k pink gold and adorned with rubies. All gemstones are set using the Maison’s Métiers Rares™ rail‑setting technique, creating a seamless ribbon of color and light across the case.
Measuring 45.6mm x 27.4 mm with a remarkably slim 7.56 mm profile, these cocktail watches are powered by the hand-wound Calibre 822, which delivers a reliable 42-hour power reserve. Strictly limited to 30 pieces per gemstone variation, each watch is paired with a supple Milanese mesh bracelet that requires over 10 meters of gold thread to meticulously craft. Reflecting the extraordinary artistry and precious materials involved, these highly exclusive models are priced between $120,000 – $150,000 USD, depending on the chosen gemstone configuration.
