Many of us here are drawn to both the Memovox’s and the black dialled JLC’s. So what can be better then a black memovox? Soon JLC will start to deliver a new black dialled memo – the Master Memovox International And while we wait, I thought I should write...
Well Nicolas…

What a poor guy to do when he can’t get what he wants..? It releases some of the itches but it’s not enough! Soon I will have to pull the trigger on something while I wait for the memo international…!!! Talking about cruel? I think you of all people shoul...

Take a breathe, keep cool, you will have to fund the Memovox International, and maybe save a bit for some Vintage Beauties? Like a Deep Sea Alarm, for example? Did I say something? Meee? Sure? Best, 666.

Every memo has a slightly different sound from the others. That is one of the beauties of the memos imo. Hope you will have the possibility to listen too many of them on your trip! One day I would love to here (and have) them all Best Blomman
Yes I have…

And I agree with you that it would probably be even cooler! But I am still waiting for some straps I ordered some time ago, if they turnout OK… One thing that makes me hesitate is that it’s a small watch and narrow strap. Only 18mm strap, maybe the red st...
Thanks for the post

Great post I'm intrigued by the packaging - seems different to other JLCs of the era - was under the impression in was a big blue box in a blue box! Was also interested by comment about gong - mine seems the alternate way round. Which is the definitive in...
Hi JML
By: blomman Mr Blue : April 11th, 2010-02:21
It seams that both our watches have the same positioning of the gong. Dje's, yours, mine... I really like the brown strap – that is similar to how JLC displayed the watch from the beginning. Black dial with brown croc starp. Thanks for sharing! Best Blomm...
Interesting…

It’s very strange – only explanation I can think of is that the gong is only mounted on the crystal and not on the movement. Yours are 180 degrees opposite my gong. That means your hammer hits the “loose” end of the gong while mine hits the “steady” side....
A theory...

As far as I can see, the gong is mounted on the display glass. It could be that 2 of the 4 watches have had some kind of service and had their display back put back 'the wrong way'? Best, Claus

I'm actually a very patient guy and don't mind waiting for a watch to arrive. When I was lucky enought to fall on a 68 Polaris and buy it, my wife made we waite nine months to give it to me for my birthday. I'm not missing anything in the watch area so I ...
Extremely intriguing...

...to see the movement throught the crystal back. Unfortunately, i dont own a Memovox but i have two Alarm watches: 1) a Vulcain Nautical with a manual movement and a GP Traveller II with an automatic movement. I didn't even knew that there was a Memovox ...
About the blue box…
By: blomman Mr Blue : April 11th, 2010-08:12
As you can see on the photos, it’s more of a handbag then a box. Very uncharacteristic with other boxes from that time. This one is from 2002. The one I think most of us are used too is the blue box. This one is from 2004. But JLC was doing some changes t...
Easy, Blomman

What are we doing with our watches? We wear them, we travel with them, and if we take more than one watch, where do we put them? So, a light packaging you could let in your house, with a leather wallet for the papers and the watch you bring with you would...
Well.....
By: MiniCooper : April 11th, 2010-11:43
If I can guess.... your idea is excellent.... Blancpain has enforced something similar with the FF... the box contains also a travel case that suits both bracelet and strap.... You are right, the original boxes take up space....but presentation is also im...
