Tuesday picture - A Duo of early Memovoxes & the charm of the Classics - Part 1
Friends, Most of you have realized, that within my personal fav collecting brand, JLC,the species of the Alarm watches, or as LGM marketed it, the Memovox series starting from the very early Fifties, up to now, have always had a special attraction to me. ...
Tuesday picture - A Duo of early Memovoxes & the charm of the Classics -- Part 2
Speedbeat Trio Here today, after these more general lines, including some very typical examples, I would like to share a view backwards, to the beginnings of the Memovox story: This was introduced in the early Fifties, and although I do not have the full ...
An amazing collection you built over the years, my friend.
I love them all, from the early ones, such as the 3150 and the one you grabbed in Paris, to the later ones, such as the E 853 / 855 / 858 or the funky ones, the 3072, 871 / 873 / 861, without forgetting the sporty ones, the Polaris and the Deep Sea Alarm....
Thx so much, my dear friend !.. Also for your advice & encouragement !.. Without you &..
.. some of our friends here, that would not have been possible.. It\'s when one looks back, so many stories are attached to the watches !.. Passion, Comraderie, Friedship are some of the ingredients for fulfillment. Thx again & Best, hs
Brilliant and thanks for sharing these!
Both here and live! Being able to see them for real has been an absolute delight and their charm is even stronger than in the pictures Thanks for this very informative post!
I really appreciate those Memovoxes with 2 tones on the dial, especially the one in the middle.
I tried it a couple of years ago, such a nice one, JLC should releases their Tribute. I owned the new one, I can't deny it was a really appealing one but the sex appeal wasn't the same.
Excellent my friend. There are only a few, very few...
You are still missing, such as the early 855, the 853, the 858, and the vintage " divers ". But you already have a hell of a collection. Bravo, once again. Nicolas
Thx again, also for these kind remarks.. Guess I'll try for the early 855, 853 or 858..
.. the Vintage Divers is a different league, which I need to position vs my wishes for new modern releases and then some Vintage Rollies (1655, 5508).. Thx again, dear Nico I will be hanging in, but with some deliberate choices.. Cheers & Best, hs
Thx for your kind attention !.. In fact, for each MMV fan the Parking Ref E3161 is a Must !!
Sending Parking greetings ! Not just one, but a Duo ! So, no more Parking tickets !.. LoLoL !! Best, hs ...
Just couldn't resist.. Also as both dials have a bit different patination.. Guess, that..
.. sometimes a good amount of madness is healthy for brain & heart ! Thx & Best, dear friend hs
So cool with the blue strap ;-)
So you are really a Memovox addict. Best wishes Alkiro
Wonderful display of early vintage Memovoxes, dear HS!
But are you sure, ref 1282? Not 3151? So many different Memovox ref's.... Easy to go wrong. Best, my friend Blomman
According to AdM & Nico its 1282.. That's also what the orig. hang-tag says !! :))
So AFAIK, it\'s this Ref. Thx for your kind looking, my friend !! Best, hs
Does this mean the 2nd Ref is a 3151, as Blomman has suggested ?..
.. I do know, that double referencing was not unusual at certain times. Anyway, for me, I\'ll stay with the info on the hang tag, ie the 1282 A. Sometimes, there are little riddles in our passion.. Best, hs
Yes, I suspect Frensh reference....
Normally the European reference should be 3151, second after the very first Memovox 3150! Best, my friend Blomman
Beautiful collection...
Have stopped collecting memovox somehow due to various reasons. Have to catch up after seeing yours. Stefan
That black Memovox is a beauty!
I am really liking the pairing to the elephant strap as well, dear H! Great informative post, as well! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. All the best, Alex
