Jaeger-LeCoultre organized this charity gala for the second consecutive year where the brand donated 50 dollars for each handicap goal reached by the polo players attending. Last year this raised $24,750, with a total $76,750 raised from the whole event.

This year Palacio Duhau-Park Hyatt Buenos Aires also collaborated with Jaeger-Coultre in hosting this Grand Polo Gala.

Now celebrating its 175th anniversary, Jaeger-LeCoultre has had ties with polo for over 75 years. The Reverso collection was created in 1931 at the request of a group of British polo players resident in India, who needed a watch that could stand up to the blows of the sport. The firm created this watch, whose revolving case prevents the glass from breaking.
