Team,

This is the watch (pictures from my watchmaker. great watchmaker, terrible photographer). 

1) I understood that it's a combination of a perpetual with a Memovox (that also has the vibrating option). Correct?







2) Production around 2010?

3) Limited? Rare?

If it's a dud, it's now mine. Couldn't resist. 

Thanks,

Nilo

I couldn't...

I had acquired this watch months back but the seller "was searching" the documents and I just cancel the acquisition. Months after that, he located the documents and offered again. Using my watchmaker as some sort of proxy (to assure that everything was tip top), I restarted the negotiations and the seller accepted my new terms and it's done. I go to grab it when I return to my country. Cheers, Nilo

Dear Nilo

Congratulations for your new Jaeger. When I was younger, this Jaeger was my ultimate dream. Nevertheless, it was a little bit too big and thick for my chicken wrist ;-) You\'re absolutely right about your first point. The Master Grand Réveil (ref. 149.8.95 or Q163842A) is a combination between a perpetual calendar and a smart alarm with the possibility to choose between a ring or a vibration (very cool "complication" from my point of view). About your second point, I\'m sure the production began

Very nice acquisition. Congratulations.

It does vibrate or ring at a set time. Mine says hello. I don\'t know about limited, but they are rare in the wild. I believe mine was 2008-9 production.
