Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Jumbo E871 NSA Bracelet – 1970

A true 1970s icon, the JLC Memovox E871—nicknamed the “TV Screen”—is a bold expression of both design and mechanical ingenuity. Featuring a distinctive cushion-shaped 38x45mm stainless steel case, this rare model blends vintage charm with technical brilliance.

At its heart beats Jaeger-LeCoultre’s legendary Caliber 916 automatic movement—the brand’s first high-frequency (28,800 bph) Memovox caliber with a full 360° rotor. Known for its reliability and innovative dual-barrel construction, it powers both the timekeeping and mechanical alarm functions independently, operated via two separate crowns.

The standout “TV screen” dial design reflects the playful modernism of the 1970s. Available in variations such as silver-blue or ruthenium-orange, the dial features a contrasting alarm disk, date window, and bold indices—all housed under a domed acrylic crystal.

Only around 4,900 pieces of the E871 were produced, making it a sought-after piece for collectors. Yet it’s not just a relic—it remains highly wearable today, thanks to its sleek profile, short lugs, and practical complications.

Whether you’re an aficionado of vintage alarms or just want a conversation-starting piece with genuine horological pedigree, the Memovox E871 delivers. It’s as much a mechanical marvel as it is a stylistic statement.

And it comes complete with its rare and sought-after original NSA stainless steel bracelet (fits up to 20cm wrist)

Crafted by Novavit S.A., the NSA bracelet is iconic in its own right—featuring flexible spring-loaded clasp, brushed finishing, and a butterfly-style deployant clasp. It’s not just stylish, but supremely comfortable and integrated seamlessly with the watch’s tonneau-shaped case, enhancing its retro-futuristic silhouette.
