Thanks to the communicative passion of Amanico, but also of Clavi whose neurosis it is, I fell for this Snowdrop... Seeing beautiful watches and discovering their history in books is one thing... sharing one's passion within a community or around a glass ...

Memovox Speedbeat Snowdrop - E877 … a long way to set the date of this collectible…

Superb, really superb specimen, mon ami. And with the box, and the papers. The only thing is the buckle, I think it is the later one which is the correct one.

It could be possible... I had it in my stock and maybe it came from the 60. Do you have a pict of a 70' buckle ?

Here you are.

The one on the right ? Because the left one looks similar to mine ;-)

Of course the one on the right, blondie. ;)

Now that is really an amazing watch.

It has always been ;-)

Totally lovely Memovox!

Oh yes... And I agree about the shape.. The watch is near Mint

Truly amazing condition, big congrats !

Thanks for the information about suede strap by Corfam and the 16 mm buckle... will try to find it and check the buckle...

Interestingly, the actual picture in the book shows it on the regular H link bracelet

That's a good one

And THAT is a "collectibe " ! Beautiful " time capsule "

So 70'

Very beautiful, indeed! Love the complete set — where did the term snowdrop come from?

I've read that the Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox, nicknamed the “Snowdrop” due its unusual case shape.

2153 precisely, according to the Heritage Gallery and its former curator, Marc André Strahm.

Thanks for the extra detail!

Pleasure, my friend.

Wonderful 👍 Great watch in fantastic condition & nice to have box & papers too, especially this heritage

And from 1971... the year of my birth ! A long term watch for sure.
