Description

Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Alarm cal. 814 10K Gold Filled Two Tone Dial Vintage Swiss Made Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Alarm, cal. 814 10K Gold Filled Two Tone Dial Vintage Swiss Made “Memovox reminds, notifies, and wakes up.” This is how an advertisement from 1950 highlighted the merits of the watch that Jaeger-LeCoultre had just commercialized. During the years of economic recovery following the Second World War, the Memovox – the Voice of Memory – was designed to help businessmen remember their meetings through its chiming function. With very sober and classic lines, this manually wound mechanical watch set itself apart with an additional crown to control the alarm function. This is the watch that the Swiss authorities of the Canton of Vaud, where the Jaeger- LeCoultre Manufacture is located, selected as a gift for Charlie Chaplin in 1953. In Great Working Condition, Keep Very Accurate Time. Just recently was serviced. Please have a look at our vintage watches we have constantly listed on Chrono24.Please feel free to make us an offer!
