Jaeger-LeCoultre. Very Nice and Elegant, Memovox Alarm, Wristwatch in Yellow Gold, With Silver Dial and Hooded Lugs Model: Memovox Case Material: Yellow Gold Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1960s Movement: Manual Caliber: 489 Case N°: 523833A Movement N°: 678077 Dimensions: 35 mm Signed: Dial, Case and Movement In 1950, Jaeger-LeCoultre released the Memovox, or the “voice of memory”, a name derived from the Latin words “memories”, memory, and “vox”, voice. In 1956, a Memovox featuring the Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 815 became the first self-winding alarm watch in history. In the following years, this very model has been explored in many ways, using different materials, case dimensions, dial color and so on. The lot here offered is a very nice example of a 35 mm wide and thin case. The coolest thing of the watch is surely the hooded cylinder lugs, rarely seen on such watch but extremely satisfying from an aesthetic point of view. Preserved in a very nice condition with a charming patina spreading all over the gold case demonstrating the minimum usage of the watch in these years, it is equipped with a silvered dial with applied triangle indexes and Dauphin hands.
