What a great post JML!
Congrats to your great Alarm collection!
Don’t know how I could miss this post!
Maybe because I don’t spend enough time in the HOME forum…
Love the alarm complication; I have been playing with the thought of building a theme around the alarm complication over brand-borders.
My problem is that I haven’t been able to break free from JLC…
But maybe one day I will be able to…

Hi All I know there have been very many discussions on this forum and on others on the site about deciding what to collect and themes and concentrating on a particular area. Unfortunately, I've never managed that discipline - far too much of a magpie natu...
I like the Lanco...

...I've been looking for one of those for some time. I've had to content myself with a Cricket and (like you) a Bellmatic, both of which possess a unique sound...but not as nice as the JLC... Great post on a great topic.
Thanks

Hi Thanks, I think the Lanco is great but it has proved to be one of my more delicate watches. Then again it is the oldest one of the lot. I think a Cricket is on my list - but its down to finding one I like. Cheers JML
I'm afraid it is an endless thema.

Breguet, Blancpain, GP, JLC, U.N, Omega, and many others released some very appealing alarm watches... If you only focus on the JLCs, you'd be lost, very quickly. But what a charming thema, for a collection. The complication is very friendly, useful, and ...
Left out this one...!

Beautiful alarm watches! We have one here that is usually left out in the world of alarm watches--the IWC GST alarm in Ti. Heard that the buzzing sound is somewhat different from the old Memovox by JLC, which shared the same movement as this one. Just had...

Lovely collection. I have a weakness for alarm watches as well, but have none as nice as your Memovox. Some of the old ones are very fragile, so they tend to stay in the watchbox. My first alarm watch was the Vulcain cricket, which has proved very durable...
Wow

Wow Wonderful collection, thanks for sharing. You have some that I've been looking at as well. the Sheffield - Baumgarter 90 - is that the one where you turn the bezel to set the alarm? The Vulcain looks fab, while the Juvenia in my eyes is the most elega...
Great watch

Hi Thanks - Like the Revue Thomen as well, but I get a bit confused between them and vulcain crickets as they both use the Cricket name. Really like the look of yours - have looked at them in the past. I know where there are a couple of Revue Thomen Crick...
