Great post...
......i have only a few yellow metal watches.....so have a natural proclivity for white metal. In this instance, too, I prefer the stainless steel version. It has a certain charm to it, as well as elegance and utility. I particularly like the integration of the lugs to the case...makes it very harmonious. I would imagine a total delight to wear....good case size and ...also importantly...the lug width enables the watch to have a meatier presence...this is one I would like to try on
Another rare Memovox Reference, the E 11005.
The Reference E 11005 is not only another rare Memovox reference, it is, in a certain way, a kind of horological anachronism. While, since the birth of the Automatic Alarm movement, in 1956 ( Cal 815, and, in 1959, the Cal 825, a 815 with a Date ), the Me...

The big issue is to try to find one, my friend.
And to get one after I get mine. ;) All the best, Baron. Nicolas
One of my all-time favorite too
This ref is one of my all time favorite Memovox too (not THE favorite, as this one is the E858 - another hand-wound / rare memo - but still in the very short list). One thing to note on this very special memovox is the shape of the case side. While all ot...
The 858 is one step above in terms of refinement, I agree.
I would be dleighted to get both, to say all. ;) As for the 2013 SIHH collection, there are still a few posts to put on line, but I will mix with some vintage topics. Don't be afraid. Best, Nicolas
Thank you for a great report, Nicolas!
The E 11005 is a much more elegant Memovox than the more known E 855, IMO. But since it is smaller size I would have no problem seeing myself wearing the gold version! I really should start looking for correct hands for mine... Best, my friend Blomman ...
Actually, the size is the same than a E 855, my friend.
Its case looks a bit more " bulky , too. More chareacter than a E 855, in my opinion. You will never cease to amaze me, Blomman, with your collection. Best! Nicolas
Well, I should have said...
volume. Because on the wrist it is/feels smaller. Well, you will have to come up North - after that there will be no more surprices..! ;) But yes, one or two, maybe three are still up my sleeve... ;) Best Blomman
Two or three under your sleeve?
You are way too modest, mùy friend. I am sure that is the visible part of the iceberg, only. But you should come to Paris, I have a few more I am hiding, too... ;) Best, Nicolas
Even if I live up North...
The Iceberg is very small... ;) Yes, I need to come down South...! Best Blomman
