Jaeger LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duo Date Manual Wind Rose Gold Men's Watch Q3742421

I ordered this online, and received it in the mail. It was so yellow, and looked like such a fake gold. I wouldn't even call it gold. The silver was ok, but still looked very cheap so I returned both.

Watch : Geophysic Universal Time by Jaeger-LeCoultre
In naming its new collection, Jaeger-LeCoultre has drawn inspiration from a milestone date when global history intersected with its own heritage. In 1958, the International Geophysical Year, the Manufacture created a chronometer capable of withstanding the magnetic fields of the North Pole without losing its precision. The name Geophysic now lives on through a collection combining refinement and innovation. The elegance of the Geophyic Universal Time model is immediately perceptible, beginning with its ideal proportions and its pure, classic yet contemporary lines. It embodies the ideal balance between aesthetic simplicity and mechanical complexity epitomized by the new automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 772. Eight years were required to develop this technical compendium featuring a non-circular balance wheel that is rendered even more accurate by the lack of air friction. As far as indications are concerned, the watch enables simultaneous readings of the time in 24 time zones displayed on a mobile disk. The latter turns around a fascinating planisphere depicted by subtly graded lacquered shades of blue and by sunburst-finished engraved continents. An invitation to journey through a world that is an an- them to aesthetic harmony.

 Its architectural alter ego: the Seagram Building in New York, by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
It was in 1958 that Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, in collaboration with Philip Johnson, unveiled the Seagram Building in New York's Midtown district. The standout design of this building testified to an all-new architectural approach. This German-born architect and former director of the Bauhaus in Berlin arrived in the United States in the late 1930s after his school was shut down by the Nazis. He brought with him a number of radical and powerful ideas that would change the architectural world.
For the first time in the history of architecture, the Seagram Building openly celebrates the supporting structure, transforming it into an essential part of the building by visually suggesting it via bronze I-beams fitted all the way up its towering 157 meters. The façade is no longer made of bricks and stone but glass and metal, and it was exactly this design that heralded a whole new generation of modern skyscrapers. Taking the approach to its logical conclusion, actually visible structural frames subsequently became a central part of the new conception of modernism. The opulent interior decoration of the building features the lavish use of bronze, marble and travertine. At the time of its construction in 1958, this work by Mies Van der Rohe was the most expensive ever built. It also reflects two of the architect's fundamental maxims: "Less is more" and "God is in the details". Two principles also bly present in the model created by Jaeger-LeCoultre.

There are some watches that leave an indelible trace on our collective memory because they have written a page in history. The Memovox Deep Sea, the first diver's watch ever made by the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, undoubtedly belongs to the select circle of such milestone instruments.

After presenting in 2008 two faithful interpretations of historical diver's watches, the Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1965 and the Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968, the Grande Maison in the Vallee de Joux is pursuing its journey through time and returning to the very roots of the diver's watch by introducing a re-edition of the 1959 Memovox Deep Sea, logically named Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea. The distinctive characteristic of the original model lay in the fact that it was interpreted in two versions: one intended for European sports enthusiasts and the other for American divers. In homage to its rich past and to the delight of fine watchmaking connoisseurs, the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre is unveiling a faithful limited-series re-edition of the two 1959 Memovox Deep Sea models.

Rebirth of an icon
The Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea faithfully replicates the original model, except in one respect: the stainless steel case has been slightly enlarged from 39.8 to 40.5 mm in order to match contemporary requirements - and wrists. The case-back carries the motif appearing on the 1959 watch, featuring a frogman surrounded by bubbles. And, as one would expect from a new creation paying homage to its illustrious predecessors, the Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea also comes in two versions, each bearing the appearance of one of the historical variations.
While the European model features a matt black dial with luminescent hour-markers, its American counterpart is distinguished by a two-tone black/grey execution surrounded by an external ring comprising a scale with five-minute graduations and simply signed "LeCoultre". The two versions offer the same range of functions: hours, minutes, central seconds and an alarm. A crown at 2 o'clock serves to wind and set the alarm, while another at 4 o'clock is used to wind the movement and set the time. Both models are driven by Memovox Calibre 956, an automatic movement incorporating the latest technological developments from the Manufacture and which has decisively demonstrated its reliability over the years. This descendant of the first manually-wound Memovox calibre beats at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour and is endowed with a 45-hour power reserve.

The first diver's watch instrument

In the early 1950s, humankind was fervently dedicated to building a new world. Modern individuals were dynamic and intrepid, embodying the values of a future-oriented era and keen to set off on the discovery of new territories focusing on the unexplored heart of continents, the infinity of the cosmos, and the ocean depths. In 1957 the USSR launched the first artificial satellite of the Earth. A few months earlier, Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Louis Malle had unveiled the fascinating mysteries of underwater life in the film entitled The Silent World and which was acclaimed by critics at the Cannes Film Festival and subsequently by the public at large.
Commander Cousteau's passion was soon shared by a growing number of eager scuba diving fans, especially once the simultaneous invention of a revolutionary diving bottle fostered the spread of this promising young discipline. A new kind of sports enthusiast emerged, requiring instruments suited to the exercise of their recently developed passion and able to help them successfully undertake their adventurous missions below the sea.
In order to meet demand from American enthusiasts of this booming sport, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched a daring project in 1959 involving the development of a diver's watch. This represented largely uncharted territory at the time, with no criteria stipulating the demands that should be met by this unprecedented category of timepieces, and almost 20 years were to elapse before the adoption of the NIHS norms applicable to diver's watches. The watchmakers and technicians of the Manufacture immediately set to work and that same year presented a watch endowed with a degree of reliability and performances that were truly exceptional in that early period of underwater exploration. The Memovox Deep Sea was the world's first diver's watch equipped with an alarm function. Jaeger-LeCoultre engineers devoted the full measure of their inventive skills to transforming the alarm generally featured on Memovox watches into an acoustic signal designed to warn divers that it was time to begin their progressive ascent to the surface. In keeping with an essential principle consistently upheld by the Manufacture, functionality was already dedicated to serving security.
The new timepiece in both versions met with spectacular success on either side of the Atlantic. This iconic diver's watch soon sold out and became a legend of which only a rare few collectors were able to glimpse the reality.
The Memovox tribute to Deep Sea is issued in two limited series: 959 reproducing the "Jaeger- LeCoultre Classique 1959" intended for the European market; and 359 inspired by the "LeCoultre Special Amerique 1959". The last two digits of each edition echo the birth year of this legendary watch. And finally, driven by a determination to pay homage to one of the treasures of the company heritage, the watchmakers of the Manufacture have chosen to protect the dial of the Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea with a Plexiglas watch glass absolutely identical to that which equipped the historical models - exactly the kind of detail that connoisseurs will appreciate at its true worth.
