Q1418430
Hey Blon -
I have a memovox Q1418430. Simple and elegant, just like my master control. Lately I have been more and more intrigued by independent manufacturers and just ordered my first Habring. Truth is, looks like I may be moving away from the majors, but since I never really sell pieces from my private collection, I will have my JLC's for a long time to come.
Cheers,
- Scott
JLC Memovox Q1418430
Lucky number #7
Hello JLC friends! I was planning a new post in the “Vintage Ad series” for my 7K post. But missed the mark while posting in the Friday WristScan… Sorry. Vintage posts take some time to put together so you will have to do with a closer i...
A nice change with the new strap Blomman
I like it; so perfect for summer. Are these straps available at the boutique or are they made to order? You weren't kidding about your love for the memovox - quite a collection there! Thanks for an entertaining post. Best fernando
I never joke about Memovox...! ;)
Thank you, Fernando! Yes, the Memovox has become my obsession! Maybe for my 10K I will make a group photo of them all together... The strap was special ordered from JLC. Much better quality than the strap that follows with the watch. Best Blomman
Number 7 has curiously taken a certain importance in my JLC collection.
More seriously, there is something very true you wrote... " Not JLC, but WHICH JLC ". While I have a lot of respect for the Reverso, I would not say that it is the watch which made me feel in love with the brand. I here have to precise that, like a lot of...
Nicolas Bond...007...
love those 2 pieces Nico....the back is almost as interesting as the front I wonder if JLC will do a skeleton of the new PC..? Yours, Andy.
I see one in the future, yes.
But how it would look like, I don't know. And if I knew, I couldn't say it. Best, Nicolas
Stunning backsides, Nicolas!
The MMR is to die for! The BOND number! I always thought you would at least have one “6” in your number! Thank you, my friend! And thanks to all the Moderators for making this place our home! Our stories sound very much the same… For me the first watch wa...
A Duometre Memovox would kill me too.
As for the 11005 and the 24002, did you hide something to me???? Hmmmm? Best, my friend. Nicolas
Me? Never...
I just took them off the list - they don't fit the direction I am going..! Best, my friend Blomman
Duometre Spherotourbillon....
... in stainless steel or platinum. I can't believe this timepiece... and Nicolas, that master minute repeater is freakin' incredible. Thanks to both of you for posting some great pictures. For me, JLC is THE brand... many people don't even know they used...
Sphero is not in SS, Scott, but it would be a damn great idea
to make a technical case, in titanium Grade 5, polished... Like on the MMR Ti. Now, the thing is that the Duometre only considers Noble Metals... Best, my friend. Nicocasek. This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-06-09 00:36:40
It's true...
... but I wish JLC would make a simple duomettre in stainless steel, much like the master tourbillon. Oh well, until then platinum will have to do... I wish! I just realized how late it is over here. All the best my friend. - Scott
So, Scott...
Which Memovox did you get? Thank you, for your kind comments! Please share some more of your Master Control. Best Blomman

Ah, the Memovox I miss...
Nice choice! Well, that is understandable - there are a lot of interesting watches made by the independants... Habring is definetly one of the brand I would look at if I ever go independant. Congrats, please sharit with us when you have received it! Best ...
Congrats Blomman
for the 7k th post, love the strap a lot, is it fit for the DSA as well? I have been hunting to find a nice calf strap for DSA, please PM me if you have more info how to order this strap, enjoy and look forward more posts to come, best, Ed
Thank you, Ed!
No, the AMVOX I has 22mm while the TT DSA has 20mm between the lugs. But if you order a custom made - it's up to you! If you look at this weeks WristScan, I posted the TT DSA with the original (yellow) AMVOX strap. The strap is old and soft, so I don't ca...
"JLC was my brand"...
It's funny how this statement encapsulates how I feel about JLC when all I have is a Reverso Duo. Not to say that it's going to end there, of course. I'm not sure that there has been a shift to how I collect... a term which I use loosely as I don't really...
1 or 1000…
Doesn’t matter – if you feel for a brand, it’s yours! What I mean is that we are all “ambassadors” for the brand! When we wear our watches, when we talk (repeatedly) with our friends about the watches… I think we have a lot in common, Echi. This post talk...
Congratulations for your 7K and ...
Your fine taste for watches. You know how I relate with the AMVOX I and I'm happy that you select this example of JLC perfection to celebrate your 7K posts. Cheers, Nilo
A natural choice! :)
Thank you, my friend! I know how much this one means to you… And now you know why it’s a very important watch for me as well! Best Blomman
Congratulations, Blomman!
You hit 7000 quite quickly, too! What a great way to celebrate the milestone with the AMVOX1, still one of my very favorite JLCs ever. Thank you for all that you contribute to the Forum. You bring us many gifts. Best, respo PS - Did you ever try setting a...
Never tried…
I don’t have enough hands to set all of them off at the same time! But that is a good suggestion for a drinking game next time friends are over! Thank you, my friend! Hope to have more time during the summer. Have some unfinished Vintage Ad post to comple...
Congrats my dear friend
7 is heaven .) Next time 7 shots of grappa on you All the best and for another 7K Damjan
7 Grappa!
And what’s for main course..?! Thank you, dear friend! Looking forward to share a bottle with you again. Best Blomman
LOL,
Na, I am not cool enough... And have no Omega on my arm! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
Very well said, very well felt, my friend.. :))
As so many times, I was enjoying your post, ( nice pics of a specific piece, one with a lot of character, BTW). - It also made me reflect a bit: What it was for me, that changed it, that did it - not easy - but I'll try, although it may sound somewhat pat...
Hey, KoC, hope all is well and that we'll soon celebrate your 7 000th!
... In the Musketeer way! All the best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Good to hear from you, KoC! :)
Long time...! Thank you for your always so kind words! :) I understand and agree with you about this place makes the JLC choice even more obvious. I did my choice before joining the forum... Our home here has only enhanced this feeling! :) Best, dear frie...
huge congrats on your 7K th post...
... can't imagine you reached at 7K th post, i just keep reading your post after post, thread after thread which all are significant and informative contributions to this place. without your presence, we will definitely have less fun time here :-) stefan
Thank you, my "blue memo" brother! :)
I follow the development of your collection with great joy and interest, my friend! We have a lot in common, but also many different points. Your journey into PW and Calendar watches I still have a head of me... Hope to follow you one day soon! :) Best Bl...
