The history of this Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox
This Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the most emblematic mechanical alarm watches in Swiss watchmaking. Launched in the early 1950s, it marked its era by offering a mechanical audible reminder directly on the wrist, a rare and particularly useful innovation. This vintage 1960s version continues that legacy, embodying functional and elegant watchmaking.
Case, movement and bracelet
This Memovox is powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre 814 manual-winding mechanical calibre, a movement designed to integrate the alarm complication in a reliable and intuitive way. It is housed in a 35 mm steel case with balanced proportions, protected by a plexiglass crystal typical of watches from this period. The sunburst grey dial offers harmonious legibility with a central alarm display, central small seconds, and alarm setting via a crown positioned at 2 o’clock. The watch is fitted with a brown leather strap, completed by a steel pin buckle.
Why this watch
This Jaeger-LeCoultre stands out for its vintage authenticity and strong horological character. Its 35 mm diameter, faithful to 1960s standards, luminous dial, and mechanical alarm complication make it a watch that is both elegant and interactive. It is intended for collectors seeking a historic and functional timepiece.
