ah,vintage watches ...
I think the bug of horology stung me twice. First I got hooked up by the modern good looking watches of good brands, with their decorated calibres, their splendid finish and so on.
then the bug stung again when I bought my first vintage watch. wearing a watch that was made many years ago and displays elements of designs dating her style.
And furthermore, you start looking for a particular model of a particular brand of a particular year, the passion just grows and grows faster than the wallet fills.
lovin'it!
need help with my vintage memovox
recently a modest vintage memovox (from the 70s) joined my collection. It is real comfortable to wear with the cushion shape case. I love it. The dial has some scars of non expert servicing I suppose, but I like its design very much. One problem I have: t...
Maybe Clavi has one like yours, Time2tic?
That one thing to have an idea of the correct crown, that's another thing to find them. BUT, with a little luck, you may be surprised, and find that the crowns on yours are the same than on a more current model, like the 871 / 872. Let's see if Clavi has ...

Should be something like this...in silver of course That is the typical shape (small / thick, small anchor JL logo) of the crowns usually found on US Monobloc cased memovox. This illustration was randomly found on the web, since I tend not to collect US m...
fast response, thank you!
well I am a happy man. I had found a picture of a cushion shape memovox with a white dial, and the crowns on that one looked even more doggy than mine. this pictrue clarifies the situation very well and I know what to look for (even if the frantic search ...
Good luck with your project
That sure is a good looking Memovox. Scars or no, that blue dial is beautiful. Hope you can find the correct crowns and restore your new piece to its original state. respo
I can only ...
dream of having the luck to find them. But even if I don't, wearing this memovox is a great pleasure. This watch is quite far from todays design standards. It is light, it is fairly slim. It is not "flashy" but is it really comfortable to wear and the dia...
I love the vintage ...
...60's-70's Memovox, especially the non-round cased ones! I'm still looking and hopefully one will be mine soon. Congratulations on finding yours and the best of luck on finding the proper crowns. N
