Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox E 853

Stainless Steel, 37.5mm Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox Alarm Wristwatch, circa 1959-1963

Description: Jaeger LeCoultre, Memovox E.853. The Memovox name itself is a fascinating blend of two Latin words: "Memo", meaning "memory" or "reminder," and "Vox", meaning "voice" or "sound." Together, Memovox translates to "voice of memory" or "sound of the reminder," which beautifully encapsulates the purpose of this iconic watch—a mechanical alarm complication that serves as a reminder to its wearer.

Webb's make no guarantee of the future working order of the watch or battery life, and watches may need to be serviced to improve accuracy. Generally, none of the watches have been tested for time keeping accuracy or running time, nor have any seals been tested on water-resistant watches. If they have been tested this is for indication purposes only and not guaranteed. Vintage watches may have been restored or repaired over the years, as such Webb's cannot guarantee that individual component parts are original or authentic.
