yes, the movement is Cal.911 which used in more pocket alarms during that period.
as Nico said in other posts, Memovox with Cal.911 is not very commonly found. that's why i have aimed to hunt one for my collection.
to my knowledge, most of the time, i found them made under an US version instead of European one. but am not sure why!
my one looks mint, in very good condition and it gold-plated. i was so lucky to see and buy it after the seller just posted it within 30mins in his store.
now, i am still hunting for Cal.489 which is the earliest one of all Memovox. hope it can come soon
thanks, Blomman.

Greeting Edward! :)
Very nice LeCoultre – haven’t see that one before!
Horizontal index and the dial looks almost shaped like a pie-pan.
Or maybe it’s because of the angle and light in the photo.
Please tell us more!

Hi Blomman
Sorry I don't know what a pie pan looks like.
I'm from India.
Anyways I'll try and take better pics for fellow
Experts to comment about it.
All I know is that it was a LOVE at first sight...
Thanks for viewing

Great dial, Edward!
The whole watch looks to be in great condition, congrats!
Never noticed that kind of hour hand before, very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.

Stefan, your new memo looks great!
Is movement Cal 911? Same as in some pocket alarms from that time.
An US version, goldplated or solid?
It looks to be in really good condition!
Congrats, Stefan!
Wear it in good health!

Good hunting!
