new comer - Speed Beat GT Memovox Cal.916 E873
hi all, my another Memovox just arrived to my home, so happy, just took some fast pics to share with you. if you guys still remember my previous post, i have another one with the same calibre number in beautiful blue dial. now i put both watches side by side. you can see style of the hour markers of these two watches look very much alike, simply because they came from the close period of years. i just put it on my wrist and tried the alarm, all are functioning very much, alarm is so loud, the time is very accurate too - really a speed beat watch! stefan

Cal 916, you meant?
I love it! Well, I'm looking for another reference, but which came with a similar case, the Ref E 861 ( Cal 825 ), whose picture is on the Concoerd ad. This is a strong looking watch, very representative of the 70ies Design. The GT symbol mlade me often s...
that's typo... should be 916...
...thanks Nico, that was a typo. i have just corrected it, sorry about that. yes, indeed, i like the case shape, really stylish, especially nowadays people like big watches, you will feel outstanding if wearing this old watch to functions. GT, yes i have ...
Not so sure about the "grande Taille" thing
To me, the 861 'GT' was clearly marketed with the GT 'Grand Tourism' meaning that was fashionable back in the early 1970's The add clearly suggests this (although the official meaning of the accronym could have been different. But that is not what buyers ...
Very cool ad!
I hope Aston Martin does not see that! Thanks for posting that, Clavi. respo
JLC....
seems to have associated with other cars too (apart from Aston Martin)... cool ad indeed... thanks for posting.... cheers
This Opel GT and the Memo are such a Duo!
Funny, I was thinking to make a post about the association we could find between Vintage Cars and Vintage JLCs... JLC often marketted their watches in relation with cars, like they did for the Parking, this one, the Geomatic, without forgetting that Jaege...

The predecessor to the 873 : the 861
Almost same case than 873, but different movement (here the 825) Same watch as in the GT ad above...
A cousin says hello ;-)
A not-so-distant cousin from Denmark says hello... I've always found this design to be very characteristic of the 70's. It may not be a beautiful, classic watch - but it sure is special in its look and feel. Best, Claus Very 70s You can still see the Spee...
Claus, this is COOL one....
Claus, love to see this very cool not-so-distant cousin. looking at the caseback, it also has "GT" marking, but there is no such "GT" printed on the dial?! by the way, what is the color of the dial of your GT? can't see it very clearly from the screen. in...
Brown - I think...
Hi Stefan, Thanks for the kind words! I love these designs - your watch is pretty cool, too. The dial is some sort of brown - I think....Unfortunately, I'm somewhat color blind. But it goes very well with the gold case. Best, Claus
