Luxury watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre has gotten quite a bit of mileage out of their famous double-sided Reverso watch. They recently held a party in New York to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Reverso. They've upped the ante with a three-sided version, the Reverso Triptyque, which made its U.S. debut at the party. The watch costs around $375,000 and has a tourbillon on its front face and a zodiacal calendar with an astronomical chart, an equation of time and sunrise and sunset times on the back face. The third face has a perpetual calendar in the Reverso carriage. Overall the watch has 18 complications, and has six patents pending. You can read in great detail about the watch at The Watch Quote.

This is one of the most admirable examples of haut-de-gamme Swiss watchmaking. 18 complications, classic JLC reverso style... The price is very reasonable considering 18 complications (Vacheron Constantin's 16-complication Tour de l’Île is priced around 1.45mil?) and I'm sure there will be 75 very satisfied customers of the Triptyque. Well done
