SIHH Preview: Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea
In 2008 JLC presented two faithful interpretations of historical diver's watches, the Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1965 and the Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968, both of which proved very popular. For 2011, JLC introduces a re-edition of the 1959 Memovox Deep Sea, logically named Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea.UPDATE: Look inside for pricing and wallpaper.

The Value Proposition: The Speedmaster And The Speidel Twist-O-Flex Bracelet, A Match Made In Heaven
