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!

... 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....

I like the red second’s hand, only if it was I little thinner…

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.

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 seen it in this dark blue color before or since this example:



Greg

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.

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 memovox

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,

Nicolas

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

 

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 with a different caliber, and from different eras, but first of all , to succomb to their beauty.

As you can see, I'm not at the end of the journey...

Best,

Nicolas

 

Love your E 855 collection!

 

And the DSA – one that haunts my dreams…!

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!
