Worldtime! :)
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..?!
Stunning!

Blomman
Didn’t you know?!
Crazy?! No, just different tactic… Get one when you have a chance and if a better one comes along, do a upgrade! The only hitch in this tactic is that I have problem letting go of watches… Best Blomman PS. But to be honest, I might be a little crazy…...
Interesting tactic, indeed.
But I still think you may be a bit crazy... Like many of us! Best, Nicolas
my favorite 815:) and E870

so many memo - couldn't stop myself :) e872
Stefan - soon but I know how painful can be waiting - just to stay in the subject - still with old crystal - again yesterday it got a nos one - e872 cal.916...
Tritium or radium?
Superb photo of a great classic. Do you happen to have the movement number on this one? Just to compare with mine... Best, Nicolas
have no clue but the dial is marked with single T
serial 1660296 so ca. 1964 or 1965 best Rafal This message has been edited by rafalbar on 2010-07-15 22:43:43
Definitely Tritium...
Due to the year, and to the T marking on the dial. Thanks! Nicolas
Great trio, Rafal! :)
The Polaris II is tempting me very much! Best Blomman This message has been edited by blomman on 2010-07-15 12:29:22
Thank you :)
The Polaris 2 was my target for pretty long time Thank you my best regards Rafal

Sgr=&%¤egpa arphig(/&”#!”#!rs pwarsgr……. You are killing me!!! Love the DSA – as soon as I have recovered from my latest acquire I WILL start to hunt this one!!! Best Blomman
Hey Vlad! If you continue this…
… torture I will have to ban myself from this forum!!! Otherwise I will lose my mind! :: )) Best Blomman
LOL, Thanks, Stefan.
I love this pair so much! I will post something about it soon. Best, Nicolas
Drool…! :)
A black Snowdrop is one I would love to add to my “Pure Black” theme! Best Blomman
As I mentioned, I love pocket alarms! :)
Four Cal 911 and one Cal 814 Best Blomman...
a wonderful historical perspective
thank you everyone for sharing--what a broad range of dials and styles.....
A colorful U.S. "HPG" Speedbeat ref 3075...
Back to post a few more U.S. Memovox models. Very interesting dial markers on this U.S. model "HPG" Speedbeat (cal 916). It is a case reference 3075. The markers have a lapis-like mottled blue color that contrasts nicely with the red sweep second and red ...
Colorful, yes, but appealing, too.
Another Ref I didn't know. Thanks, Greg. The Lapis Markers are a good idea, in my opinion. The onlly thing which is so so is the red second hand...Curious in such an elegant version. Best! Nicolas
Yes....
... the red sweep second does spoil the elegance a bit. I hadn't really noticed before posting that the red was carried onto the alarm triangular marker also. If they felt the need to add color, a blue sweep second might have been nice. Oh well....
Very cool Speed Beat, Greg! :)
I like the red second’s hand, only if it was I little thinner… Best Blomman
The identical JLC version was the ref E874......
I just stumbled upon the twin of this watch (E874) in an old 1972 JLC catalog. The only difference on the JLC version: the sweep second hand and triangular alarm pointer were colored gloss black. The hand is the same thick shape, just a different color.
A nice blue dialed cal 911 ref 2676 date @6
I recall a thread on this forum recently featuring blue-dialed Memovoxes..... here is a U.S.-model manual (cal 911) to add to the list. I haven't seen this version here very often, with the square markers printed with Arabic numerals. Certainly haven't se...
The location of the date at 6 is perfect!
You have to pay attention to notice the Date, with these square markers at 3, 9 and 12. Interesting, for those who don't like Dates, it can be a solution... Best, Nicolas.
A pleasure to see these 3 Polaris having such a good life and
Joining this Memo Roll Call! Thanks, Patrice! Best, Nicolas
Beautiful plexi dooms, Patrice! :)
My favourites! Looks like sea turtles on their way to ocean! Best Blomman
I really like the bi-coloured dial! :)
And it looks to be in good condition too! As always..! Best Blomman
E 875 Cal 916 Speed beat, original Blue dial! :)
Same as yours, Stefan! Best Blomman...
thanks Blomman :-)
we should try to see whether we can take a family pic of these blue speed beater stefan
my modest contribution to a never-ending thread
Thanks for this nice initiative and the amazing thread. My modest contribution, from E855 to more 70's models (E87X and others) : and back in history to the latest arrival on board, the DSA: Thanks also to GregB for impressive and extensive overview of LC...
Superb, Karmin...Superb!
What a great selection, my friend. When I look at your E 855, trio, I feel less guilty to want and hunt a 3rd one, tghe one with the Ebony indexes... You're absolutely correct, it may well be an endless story. Congrats on your E 857 Deep Sea! Best, Nicola...
complete tribe
Thanks Nicolas. For the moment, I keep my eyes open for a pink gold 855 (and of course, for a nice bezel for the DSA...) What about you ? When will you provide us with a picture of your complete memovox tribe (you might need a wide-angle lens) ? karmin
Still looking for some of them, Karmin.
It may look like the follwonig list: Vintage Polaris 65. Memovox World Time Ref 3160. Memovox Double Signature ( Gubelin, Duhnill or Cartier ).. Memovox E 855 Ebony indexes. Memovox E 861. Memovox ref 3150 ( Tubular lugs ). The idea is cover all the Memos...
Wow, Karmin! :)
Love your E 855 collection! And the DSA – one that haunts my dreams…! Best Blomman
Another AMVOX I ! :)
Fellow Memovox lovers! I am soon out of bullets, so I will start my end game with an AMVOX I in SS. The first one in a theme I call “Pure Black”! Best Blomman...
NSA! :)

That is damn crazy...
What a thread! And, now, Stefan, you come with these 2 Cal 814. What is the reference of your SS one? I'm totally dizzy, guys! Nicolas
case reference?!...
... i have also no idea about that. i have opened the case, but find no number on inside caseback?! for that SS one, the dial seems like refinished, but the casing and the movement are perfect! by the way, i also feel dizzy now... i just can't imagine so ...
The ref is not always engraved on the inside case back, Stefan.
The interesting, very interesting thing is that we are many, here, to own more than one Memovox. It is really a cult watch, whatever is the version. As for the Cal 910 / 911, yes, we doesn't see many. I'm looking for my first one with the WT 3160... Best,...
Stefan, The cal 911 seems much more common in U.S. models...
While the cal 911 is common here, the cal 910 (non-date) is far less common. Here is the way they were shipped from the Le Sentier to the U.S. for casing; with dials and hands pre-installed in batches of 10: Greg...
no wonder...
...i have been recently checking Memovox with Cal.911, most of them that i can find so far are marked with LC instead of JLC. and also it explains why the Cal.911 housed in much more different types of casing! from my observation so far, i saw many Memovo...
Fantastic pics of the movement package, Greg.
Even if I already know them , I am fascinated, each time I see them. A nice journey in time! Best, Nicolas
Another WOW, Greg! :)
You are like a history library, section LeCoultre!!! Thank you very much for sharing this with us! Best Blomman
amazing, Greg... how can you know????
... you only look at the front view of my watches, i did not show you the pic of caseback. would like to learn from you more on how to identify that thanks in advance! stefan
Stefan, I've owned both models, so I recognized them...
I try to keep notes on the case numbers and calibers (as well as detailed pictures inside and out) on all the watches that come through my collection. I hope to someday publish the list with pictures when it is a little more complete. I haven't had as man...
you should publish...
i see, no wonder you know the case reference of my watches straight away. i think your list is not completed yet, but the list of this kind would be very helpful and useful for collectors here. with this kind of important data, then more people can learn ...
Stefan, I'm thinking about that ...
It will be a heavy work, as there are so many Vintage Lc, JLC, and Jaeger , but WE all can try to bring our knowledge and do it. Let me think about it, I will soon come back to you. Best, my friend. Nicolas
yes, heavy work, but meaningful right...
i think we may set up a database for that listing that everyone can contribute by adding/amending to the listing. in any case, this work will be helping us and next and next generation to carry on history and spirit of JLC in future. i am sure our grand c...
Very nice, Stefan! :)
Your last two? But your new AMVOX will come soon, yes? I am also almost out of bullets, but I think Nico is still holding some back from us…!!! Best Blomman
you are "almost out of bullets"....?
for me i am really out of of bullets, except my AMVOX1 in TI can arrive in time i will let you guys continue the party... stefan
He He Thomas, the French Connection is here!
We're still waiting for Kaiser Sauzée ( Clavi ) . Best, my friend. Nicola
That would be awesome! :)
If Mr Kaiser Sauzée joins then almost all the "Usual Suspects" are here… and then this thread would be even more over the top! Never seen anything like this! What was I thinking?! I will not get a good night sleep in weeks after this…!!! ...
What a beautiful pair, Thomas! :)
Two stunning E 855! They both look very crisp and minty fresh! Best Blomman
A Spanish E 872 Cal 916! :)
Welcome Swiss Made! An E 872 in stunning condition! Of course we like it! You really choose the right moment for your watch to join this forum! Best Blomman
More pics.
You are all very friendly. Thank you. I upload more pictures of my watch. Greetings from Madrid....
Bienvenido aqui, Compadre.
And thanks for joining our Roll Call with such a nice example! Best, Nicolas
