1960s Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox
Why This Watch Matters
You may have seen a Memovox around here in the past, but here we have a steel automatic version with the caliber 825 bumper movement. Now you have no excuses for being late.
The Full Story
Next to the Reverso, the Memovox is probably the second most recognizable vintage wristwatch popularized by the manufacture. The alarm function was not only forward-thinking, but also incredibly useful. The example you see here is an automatic version from the 1960s with center seconds and a date window. The caliber 825 features the âbumperâ rotor, which is quite heavy and can be felt with you move the watch around. The silvered dial with black indexes on this example is particularly attractive, ensuring that you wonât ever skip a beat (or deadline).
