Too many watches, my friend...

Memovox Paris Exhibition: The First Memovoxes
Let's start from the beginning, and have a look at the first Memovoxes, which were manual winding. A detail makes all the difference, between the very first Memovox, the Ref 3150, and all the other which came later: The shape of the lugs. As you will see ...
Thank you, Nicolas…
For another page of the Memovox history! Will return tonight and read again and again… You really make this forum awesome! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
Now I have had a closer look…
And I must say that the 3151 with the radium index numbers and losange hands… Really speaks to me! And the E 858… No wonder – with a number between the DSA and the Polaris… What can be wrong with that one?! The E 857 and the E 859 the two that haunt our d...

...always refreshing it with lively contents. Thank you. Ruckdee
