Few words can describe the beauty of the new Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds ‘Or Deco’—Art Deco gold—with its Milanese mesh bracelet matching the case. In its pink gold case—measuring 45.6 x 27.4 mm—, the Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds 'Or Deco' watch exudes a captivating vintage allure that speaks to horology enthusiasts and collectors alike. On either side of the meticulously crafted golden-grained dial, its bracelet features an elegant Milanese gold mesh that bestows the timepiece with a refined, precious style reminiscent of Art Deco sophistication.
Milanese mesh bracelets, known for their elegant and flexible design, have roots in the craftsmanship of Milan, Italy, dating back to the 19th century. Originally developed as a form of chain, artisans transformed this intricate weaving technique into a stylish accessory that combines both functionality and aesthetics. The use of finely woven stainless steel or other metals allows these bracelets to fit comfortably on the wrist while providing a sleek, sophisticated appearance.
Over the years, the Milanese mesh bracelets have gained popularity not only in watchmaking but also in fashion jewelry, representing a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary style. This thoughtful construction offers exceptional comfort on the wrist, with the bracelet's supple flexibility conforming naturally to the wearer's contours.
The 4N gold-grained dial blends seamlessly against the case and bracelet making this watch a perfect monochromatic trophy.
The slender bracelet perfectly complements the sophisticated 50-component case, which measures a mere 7.56 mm in thickness—a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre's masterful engineering and commitment to sleek, unobtrusive elegance. The iconic reversible case design allows the blank reverse side to be personalized with an engraving of your choice, creating a truly bespoke timepiece that can commemorate special moments or display personal insignias.
At the heart of this exquisite watch beats the manual wound in-house calibre 822, a movement meticulously finished by the manufacture's skilled artisans. It precisely indicates hours, minutes, and small seconds while delivering a reliable 42-hour power reserve—ensuring that this horological masterpiece maintains its accuracy throughout daily wear and occasional rest periods.
