... 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 many JLC memovox supporters out there... i lost count, i don't know at the end how many memovoxs have been showed up in this roll call.

but one thing is interesting, it is hardly seen Cal.910/911 showing up in this call?! i remember you said some time ago, these two calibers are rare!

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,

Nicolas

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:

...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 Memovox with Cal.910 were made as alarm clock instead of wrist watch. don't know what was the reason behind that time?!

by the way, thanks for pics, it is my first time of seeing all these movement packed in a box, very interesting indeed. it is still long way to learn all these thing, however, hard to find out all these old documents.

stefan

Even if I already know them , I am fascinated, each time I see them.

A nice journey in time!

Best,

Nicolas

... 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

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 many of the Memovoxes from the late 1960s (Speed beat/HPG) and beyond, so that is where my data gets fuzzy.

Regards,

Greg

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 more from that and more people would be joining this club!

very keen to your list soon.

stefan

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

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 children will appreciate and be grateful for this work!!!

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…!!!

Blomman

E855

We're still waiting for Kaiser Sauzée ( Clavi ) .

Best, my friend.

Nicola

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…!!!

 

Like you said – I feel dizzy!

I think it's great that we have so many vintage and also so many different Memos shown here!

Actually, I am surprised – the out come of this thread is much, much more than in my wildest dreams!
