The Juice
Let’s start with the yellow gold model. This might be my favorite model of the two. One of the trends that has been picking up recently is matching gold tone cases with gold dials. You can see this in the Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 and more recently in the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds. This is one of the trends that I really can get behind. It leans into quiet luxury in a way that that seems timeless to me. The vertically brushed outer and inner rings of the dial contrast nicely with the circular graining in the center, giving it just enough depth without going over the top. The applied chemin de fer around the outer edge and those anthracite-accented gold hands tie everything together with a vintage nod.
