The watch is being sold by the family of its previous owner, Thord Thordsson, who worked in the watch industry from the 1930s to the 1980s. Thord was employed by Svenska Urdepoten AB (ASU) and AB Rätt Tid, where he served as a sales manager, among other roles. At the time, the company was one of the leading wholesalers in the watch industry.
Case development was ahead of the shaped movement, which LeCoultre had to create from scratch, and the 1931 Reversos were put to market not with a LeCoultre calibre but were powered by Tavannes-made movements (Lisica 063). Only in 1933, LeCoultre would equip the Reverso with its own calibres 410/411.
