The original Reverso featured a black face with contrasting indexes, which was referred to as "the dial of the future". The turning point was when the brand's Italian distributor fitted the last remaining 200 Reverso cases with mechanical movements, and they were all sold within a month. Along with the revival of mechanical watches, the Reverso featuring various complications with rectangular movements was introduced in the 1990s. Fortunately, the renewed interest in mechanical watches led to the resurgence of these crafts. The set of four Reverso watches each bore a reproduced miniature of a work by the Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha.
