You have to redraw your “line”..?! As I have and when opportunity knocks, you do an “upgrade”..? Only problem with that tactic is that you will end up with pairs…! Good hunting! Best Blomman

I know some that are missing, and maybe you have some more new under your sleeve?! Best Blomman

Great to hear that you love your new watch! And it looks like you found a new strap as well? Looks very good! Best Blomman

The stitches match the numbers very nice! If you are tired of the strap, you can always send it to me and I’ll put it on mine! Best Blomman

Hi everybody, I don't usually post but this is a great thread with some wonderful waches! On my SS AMVOX1 I asked my AD to order the 22/20mm lightly perforated, black calf strap with white box stiching. You will need a 20mm pin buckle as well but I much p... 

You should join us in our Memo Roll Call! It is one of the craziest Roll Call I've ever seen! Best, Nicolas

Maybe you could try to share a photo with us here? Welcome! Blomman

Hello Robert, here are some ideas of straps I bought for my AMVOX: one NATO James Bond and one grey genuine galuchat. Cheers....  

... AMVOX or AMWOX? anyway, my AMVOX 1 is going to knock my door very soon. stefan

...  

If I had the chance I would date them both! (And their mother…) :: )) Best Blomman

The dial will fascinate you. The ruthenium turns into brown under some light condition, it is really captivating. Keep us posted, please! Best, Nicolas

my first AMVOX can reach me in time before this roll call closes, then i can post it here stefan

Congrats, Stefan! And yes I think you will make it, because we never close…! Look at the Polaris Roll Call, still popping up new entries! So you did go for TI version? Best Blomman

...is an E 855 model from 1967. But it definitely not the last one... Best regards, Zsolt...  

Wow, Zsolt! Looks to be NOS! Please tell us more. Best Blomman

Hi Blomman, It is not a NOS piece but it's in a very good condition. The case has been polished before but it still looks nice....this is my favourite E 855 model. And thanks for starting this Roll Call! Zsolt

This one, Zsolt! I love these Ebene Indexes and these hands so much! They add Elegance to Elegance. Best, Nicolas.

...a very nice dial in my opinion. By the way, I bought my 5th Memovox

Come on, you can't keep the silence anymore... Best, Nicolas

....somehow the second part of that line disappeared.... Anyway, that is the TTP 68 Polaris with the "wrong" dial what I mentioned to you a couple of weeks ago....and thanks to your advice I finally decided to buy it. It is a great watch and I will post s... 

Polaris Roll Call, and here, on this Memo Roll Call. Can 't wait to see your pics! Best, Nicolas

Thanks for giving time & space to talk about our love Regards, ...  

Yes, Joe – the Cal 914 IS a pure love story! Best Blomman

I ban him... Or I ban myself. ) Lucky mate, I love and miss this watch so much! Nicolas

great

The reference 3150 was the very first Memovox model released by JLC and came in several different dial/hand styles. Here are (3) examples I've had in my collection (I've had a couple of others but can't find pictures at the moment): Greg...  

I love their very clean dial, and the weird lugs. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Great to see that you have joined the party! All I can say is WOW!!! Your display of Memos just blows my mind! Will have to look closer tonight! If I know my self right after seeing this I won’t be able to sleep… Best Blomman

... can't resist to this beautiful lugs. i must hunt one for my collection sooner or later. stefan

Here's the next Memovox issued after the barrel-lugged ref 3150. The ref 3150 also came in many dial variations and hand styles. I can't find the pix of the 18K version I had, so the stainless model is all I have to share for now: Greg...  

Damn, Greg, you had them all or what? I am dizzy, now. What a Roll Call! Best, Nicolas

Here's a U.S.-model reference 2744 in both a worldtime and non-worldtime versions. The original dealer catalog shows the worldtime version with the 2nd version of the worldtime dial: Interesting bit of trivia: both worldtime dial styles (concentric and ra...  

The arrival of the Memos World Time... Another one I'm hunting... This would deserve a dedicated post " JLC and the World Time "... Best, and thanks for these rare pictures, Greg. Nicolas

And especially the Ref 3160... Looking forward to admiring it, Best, Nicolas

And very interesting to see the pocket WT as well! Didn’t know JLC made pocket WT. Best Blomman

In 1955, Henry Ford II issued Memovox watches to his top salesmen (and their wives) in a special boxed set. The men's watch was a U.S.-model Memovox reference modified with a Ford emblem on the dial at the 12 o'clock position. The lady's watch was a Longi...  

I never heard, till now, about Lecoultre made for Ford Best Sellers! And I'm working, at this moment, on Master Mariner watches, and more specifically, on a certain ...Chronometer made in 1958. To say all, there is nothing on the net about these special M... 

The 1955 Ford special-edition Memovox models shown in my earlier post are relatively easy to find, but how many people know that AMC (American Motor Company) also commissioned a special edition Memovox as a sales presentation award? It was a 2-tone (stain...

thanks indeed for this very informative post. i have never known these interesting information before. it is really educating to me. but i have a question regarding these two special case numbers 9386 and 3015, interestingly these two casings were not cap... 

No, the 2 models don't appear in Zaf's book. I don't think Zaf makes the claim for his book to be an exhaustive reference on every Memovox model ever made (that would be a much much thicker book). In fact, his book is quite light on covering many of the U... 

... and also he can cover more US models in his 2nd edition. after seeing so many your beautiful Memovoxs, just feel so much that i don't know... it is long way ahead for me! thanks so much for sharing your collection! stefan

But now I might have to reconsider! Super cool stuff! Love the His and Hers! Best Blomman

Nobody attempted the trivia question I posed about the car in the background (very recognizable for U.S. collectors): 1955 Thunderbird (same year as watch). More trivia (complete with answer): Did you know that Henry Ford II commissioned another special w...  

I had the Ford T in my mind...To say that I was far from truth, about the period and the car! Best, my friend. Nicolas

I have one as well but I wanted to know how do the origin band for these watches look. The one I have is a spandex band and is the same gold color as the watch.

I tjink you also have a very special Memo WT, which belonged to a prestigious personality, if I'm not wrong... What a thema! Thanks, once again, for the share! Nicolas

many thanks, Greg once again. stefan

World class, Greg! Now it’s official – I won’t be able to sleep tonight!!! Actually I am surprised that no one have joined with the new one yet. I might have to make a change of that… Is your special the one form the book..?! Stunn... 

I thought this was interesting..... a few different case references that share a common arrowhead dial style: A gold-filled case ref 3041 caliber 814: A gold-filled case ref 2676 cal 911 A case ref 2904 caliber 911:...

I love pocket alarms! So beautiful! Greg – you are killing me!!! Best Blomman

Greg, they are beautiful Memovox Pocket Alarms. you know i was seeing one Memovox Parking Pocket Alarm, but that time i am not sure the center disk with parking numbers are correct or replacement. i did not go for that! did you know JLC had make Memovox P... 

But A World Time Memo Pocket Watch existed, indeed. Best, Nicolas

I haven't personally seen a Pocket Alarm with a parking dial and don't remember seeing one in my catalogs. I'll look again. It wouldn't surprise me that they made such a model since they are from the same period as the Worldtime dials and Pocket Alarms we... 

I've been lucky enough to find 4 examples of the scarce (2,000 made) caliber 601 Memovox (alarm pointer hand instead of rotating alarm disc) for my collection, but I recently noticed that I also have its twin in a U.S. version watch. The cal 601 movement ...

…a history I and I think many others didn’t know about! And for that I thank you greatly, even if it will cost me a lot of sleepless nights! Best Blomman

I suppose I've tended to collect a lot of the U.S.-model LeCoultre watches in the past because the history was so undocumented and interesting. I've slowly been able to piece some parts of the puzzle by collecting old dealer bulletins, documents and catal...

I've had the U.S. version of the Parking, but not the Swiss (pictures somewhere in my computer, but having trouble finding). I like the Swiss version much better. That's one I need to acquire some day. Yours is simply stunning! Congrats!

It will come to you, my friends. It was a nice surprise, as I began to desesperate till one of my friends called me to ask me if I had any interest on a Memo Parking. You can imagine my answer... Best, Nicolas

Hey guys! Is it “let’s torture” Blomman day to day?!!! :: )) Another stunning piece of history! Best Blomman
