It seems I need a lawyer, now... :)
I don't think JLC's decision ( about the solid case back ) was motivated by an acoustical reason, as the Memovox from the 90ies came wioth a transparent case back and it sounded nicely.
BUT, to me, and this is just my guess, I think that JLC heard some of the critics made about case backs letting show a nice movement, but not terribly finished.
Don't ge me wrong, the 956 is a nice caliber, but not one of those which have to be showed behind a sapphire glass.
Therefore it is an automatic caliber, so the rotor takes a lot of place, and hides the movement.
Thanks for your nice words, and I really wish you will join our Memo Lover Group!
Best,

I blame you Nicolas
My wallet is now trembling in fear. All of your superb posts are so tempting With the Memovox, I think you have found my next watch. I like all mechanical movements from 'functionally finished' 7750 movements to haute horology porn, so I would have prefer...

Oops. That was meant to be a response to your Memovox post
However, no need to thank me Nicolas, your posts ARE always excellent. If JLC aren't paying you to make these posts they should. It makes me wonder how many JLCs are sold just through posts like yours.
Not always, Bill
My posts are not always that good, Bill. Sometimes, there are some easy posts, because a " serious " post requires a lot of time, and this is not my job, but my passion to do so. I'm not even paid by JLC, to be clear, to do such posts, nor to do any post....
Can we make it a class-action? ;-))
Nicolas' posts are damaging to our wealth, but very much appreciated in every other way. I, for one, have learnt a great deal about this great house over the past year. Nicolas, you have a real talent for conveying the magic of MJLC. Long may your work co...
You're too kind, Jat G...
Will try to refrain, in the Future! Best, my friend. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-02-23 02:36:47
