Jaeger-LeCoultre’s advancements in alarm timepieces throughout the 20th century are iconic, with the Memovox being the most renowned among enthusiasts. The present example, crafted in stainless steel, boasts a water-resistant case preserved in great condition, as evidenced by the deep and clear engravings on the back. The watch features straight lugs, thin edges, and two symmetrical crowns at 2 and 4 o’clock for setting the time and the alarm disc, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Powered by an automatic movement, the silver dial showcases applied baton indexes, a revolving alarm disc in the center, a date aperture at 3 o’clock, and steel luminous baton hands that match the luminous dots of the indexes. Considered by many as one of the most classic Jaeger-LeCoultre models, the Memovox sits beautifully on the wrist, admired for its simple elegance and timeless design.
