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. ...  

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 ...  

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.... 

.. 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

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 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.

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

.. 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

Sending Parking greetings ! Not just one, but a Duo ! So, no more Parking tickets !.. LoLoL !! Best, hs ...  

.. sometimes a good amount of madness is healthy for brain & heart ! Thx & Best, dear friend hs

Best wishes Alkiro

So you are really a Memovox addict. Best wishes Alkiro

Good taste. Best wishes Alkiro

But are you sure, ref 1282? Not 3151? So many different Memovox ref's.... Easy to go wrong. Best, my friend Blomman

So AFAIK, it\'s this Ref. Thx for your kind looking, my friend !! Best, hs

.. 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

Normally the European reference should be 3151, second after the very first Memovox 3150! Best, my friend Blomman

My only Memovox... ...  

Have stopped collecting memovox somehow due to various reasons. Have to catch up after seeing yours. Stefan

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

Cheers & Best, hs
