Great review
Great review as always.
I have been looking closely for one but start to have a few concerns after reading your review.
Really like the size, crown and hands. However, your mention on date window really concerns me as well as alarm pointer. Is it too difficult to set alarm pointer independent rather than marking on Paris City zone ? As Amvox1 have 3 crowns to adjust time, rotating disc and alarm respectively, why not use 3rd crown to control World TIme disc ?
Saying all this, I am eagerly awaiting for mine and hopefully Desktop stand will be launched soon as well.
My first impression of the Memovox International
First I would like to thank you all for your patients with me dwelling over and over again about this watch - Thank you all! My expectations about this watch before I got it have been very high, and very focused on the centre alarm disk. The worldtime fun...
Very Objective! We await...
...your comparison to the Master Reveil. Thanks for some great first impressions. Sounds like it is a very successful execution! Ken
Thank you, Ken!
So far I must say the MI is better than my expectation! But as always – there are some small details that you have on the MR that the MI doesn’t have… The question is; will I still miss them after some time or will I have get used to the...
Love the family photo
Great review for your initial thoughts. I love the Alarm/Date Crown. I like those helpful hints. LOL. I think the watch looks beautiful. I agree with all of your thoughts so far on the design, and your photos capture this one very well, although I have ye...
How to work the WT …
Let’s the time is 10 o’clock in Paris and you would like to know what time it is in New York. Move the alarm disk until the hour hand is over New York, now the alarm arrow will point out the time in New York. Upper row of cities are after you in time and ...
I explained it wrong!
Sorry, Respo. My explanation of the WT was incorrect; here is the correct one: Move the alarm mark to align with the hour hand and then you are able to read what time it is in the different time zones. Let’s the time is 10 o’clock in Paris and...
Very interesting, Blomman.
I appreciate your objective approach on this watch, Blomman. Undisputably,this is a very nice watch, which will complement your collection perfectly. I will try to see one in the flesh, a definitive one, I mean, as I didn't see it again, since Geneva. Abo...
Thank you, Nicolas!
I must say that the Memo International is better than my expectations! It has my prefect size for a dress watch and it’s a very comfortable one to wear. About the date window, basically I agree with you, and maybe to remove the date would have been better...
Will do, Blomman ...
I just need to find some " Free Time " these next days, which doesn't seem to be very easy, as I have a lot of work at this moment. I was also told that the Duometre à Quantieme Lunaire landed, too... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico ...
Duometre à Quantieme Lunaire – nice! :)
Sadly, I know exactly what you mean about work… Best Blomman
my first impression for this Memovox International...
Blomman, wonderful review again! it has finally appeared here, really appreciate your objective thoughts as well as those details and features that you pointed out in the review. now have better understanding and idea of this piece! indeed, this is a very...
Thank you, Stefan!
I have been smiling four days straight, my cheeks hurts! It’s strange, but this one made me more exited then the NSA. Normally I am more of a sports watch guy… Glad you liked it – maybe something to add to your Memo-collection? About the...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Blomman
It is a very nice piece with a nice size. Glad that you are enjoying it. Perhaps the position of the alarm indicator has something to do with the fact that 'Paris' & 'Samoa' are the shortest words thereby allowing more space for the triangle indicator? Go...
As objective as I am about JLC LOL
Hi Blomman, Drawn to the dark side again huh? Guess it didn't take long for you to make the decision for this Memovox. Fits right in your outstanding collection my friend. Fine looking watch and I am sure it will get a lot of wristtime! Agree with you on ...
Yes, the dark side again… :)
Thank you, my friend! Yes, she falls right into my black memo theme Didn’t see the normal memo IRL yet, maybe I have to add something to the silver side as well…?! Best Blomman
Thank you....
for great report.... I also agree that the dial would be better without the date...... How is the new clasp? The old one, I find it to be one of the weakest points in JLC..... Has JLC corrected it? cheers
Great review
Great review as always. I have been looking closely for one but start to have a few concerns after reading your review. Really like the size, crown and hands. However, your mention on date window really concerns me as well as alarm pointer. Is it too diff...
Thank you, Hsukirik
I think you will be very happy with yours! Note; The alarm and WT are the same disk! The alarm mark is permanent on Paris/Samoa. Best Blomman
Thanks, PP!
I haven’t really had a chance to compare them both yet. Basically I prefer single folding clasp before double. I will have to get back to you on that… Best Blomman
Many thanks for your thoughts Blomman
Certainly your passion for JLC and the Memovox is exciting. I think I know what will be on your wrist for the next few fridays or more. Regards, Richard.
You are right, Richard… :)
I think no one will be surprised to see this one on my wrist this Friday! Thank you for your kind words! Best Blomman
