Interesting post.... and interesting watch.
Yes, I think so.
The case of this Memovox must be really sexy. This mixed round-oval case used in this watch is really well done, and I think that must be really impressive.
Like you say, this watch must be see in the flesh for getting all this beauty.
I like specially the hands of this watch, and I see that nothing made by JLC is made without a reason (seein the pic of your two modern JLC with this kind of hands). JLC knows how to make an Hommage to some models made (another example are the hands used in the Amvox models, like the Calypso hands used in some units of the Polaris). I like this kind of works.
Really, a lovely Memovox, my friend.
Thanks for your great report and for your teaching. And, like always, for your impressive pics.
Best.
Emilio.

A Quick view on the E 877 So Called " Snow Drop ".
Here is a strange watch, the E 877, so called " Snow Drop ". Strange, because when you see it in pics, you're really wondering what can be the interest ( esthetically speaking ) of such a watch, presented with a big and weird case. As always, the golden r...
What a horrible wa....
....way to tease us Nicolas .... my poor brother in Spain called me to tell me your posts are getting to much for him .... i'm having a very hard time too now ..... ... I have to say JLC made (and still makes) some serious cool watches; what i have seen o...
When, Filip? Never, I hope.
This will mean that JLC will never cease to amaze me! Seriously, on the Vintage topic, I miss around 7 other watches to end my collection of JLC watches. About modern pieces, it will depend on what JLC will offer. I fear it won't be the end. LOL As for ou...
Thank you Nicolas...
...for another interesting lesson in JLC history. As a fairly new owner of only two examples of their artistry I am indeed impressed with their interesting variety, overall beauty and obvious quality. Your photos and accompanying prose make it a joy to vi...

THe most difficlut was to find an E 877, and I was lucky, Emilio.
I appreciated it so much that I put it in my wish list... One more piece... But the Memovox with Black Dial is indeed a great thematic collection, with a lot of variety, hence, a true interest of the talent of this Manufacture. Thanks for your nice words,...
I´ve said you lots of times...
that you´re a lucky man, hermano. And this hunt (15º JLC, no? LOLOL) confirms it to me. I´m very happy for you Nicolas!! You, my apassionate friend, deserves this watch.... and this watch deserves be in your collection (it´ll be very happy with all its br...

Merci for the presentation mon ami
And love that super detailed shot of your Perpetual Squeletton! Cheers Stephen
hmmmmmmmmmm
AWSOME item. I've never seen before this case. Unique, collector's dreamwatch. We spoke later about this hands... Thanks for the share !
I think I'm as Memovox Resistant as this watch is water resistant, Foullis
And that means all. I won't bet on the water resistance of this E 877... I know that it is written 5 ATM on the case back, but I won't swim with. Like you, I'm madly in love with this special shape, combined to the black dial. Not sure that with the white...
WR
Just firstly think I've never seen this case, I saw, but with black dial - never ! very hard to find... WR 5 ATM - not a SeaDweller
Actually, it is quite WR indeed
The E877 has a monobloc case (front loaded movement with split stems), so the 5ATM thing is not only theoretic, it should also work quite well in practice. Not meaning that I intend to swim with mine, but I would be definitely more confident to try its wa...
