74 Years Old Vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Alarm Ref. 3024 / Cal. 814 Vintage 1950

MODEL: 74 Vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Alarm Ref. 3024 / Cal. 814 Vintage 1950

“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.

Not everyone has the opportunity to wear a beautiful 70 years old watch from a renowned brand.
