Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Jumbo 18k gold – matt black dial – ca. 1957

This timepiece is a remarkable Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox alarm watch, revered as one of the most iconic creations from the esteemed haute-horlogerie manufacture.

Securing a reference E855 with its oversized 37mm case, crafted from solid 18k gold, and featuring a beautiful black dial from the late 1950s is exceptionally rare. The pristine, golden dauphine hands and the matte black, velvety dial enhance the allure of this specimen, making it immensely sought-after by collectors. Its movement has undergone a thorough overhaul by a specialist dedicated to Jaeger-LeCoultre. The alarm function works as it is meant to, and the bumper automatic cal. 825 ticks strongly, as expected from a JLC movement.

What could be a better everyday sporty dress watch with a twist?

New handmade in Germany, black suede leather strap, perfectly complementing the velvety-looking black dial, with a generic golden pin buckle
