When Charlie Chaplin wanders on a Reverso case

He stands from behind. But his instantly recognizable silhouette leaves no doubt as to his identity. With his legendary bowler hat, his mythical bamboo cane, his wide pants, black suit jacket and duck feet, Charlie Chaplin is standing there. His inimitable posture is now engraved on the case back of a Reverso customized in the workshops of Jaeger-LeCoultre, exclusively for Lionel Meylan. It goes discreetly on your wrist,” says his daughter Annie Chaplin. It’s an imprint of the eternal Vagabond created with class, luxury, and finesse in a piece that celebrates the art of fine watchmaking.”

Three renowned partners
Charlie Chaplin™ © Bubbles Inc. S.A., Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lionel Meylan: the link between these three names was an obvious one. Charlie Chaplin left an indelible mark on Vevey and the Lake Geneva Riviera. Particularly in Corsier-sur-Vevey, where he lived out his final years in the Ban manor house, which has since been transformed into a fabulous museum in his memory, of which Jaeger-LeCoultre is a privileged partner. The idea of creating a watch bearing the effigy of the most famous Vagabond of all time came to Julien Meylan. All that remained was to choose the perfect watch. A Reverso, obviously for its refined elegance, iconic lines and ideal space for an engraving on the back of its reversible case. Convinced by the project, the Chaplin family agreed. Finely engraved, Charlie Chaplin’s famous posture now adorns a special edition produced exclusively by Lionel Meylan. What a symbol…
