The refined Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Ref. E875 is a captivating example of functional watchmaking from the 1960s and '70s, combining technical sophistication with classic modern design. An automatic wristwatch with integrated alarm, it is one of the most stylish interpretations of the legendary Memovox line.
The 37 mm stainless steel case has well-balanced proportions and, thanks to the slim bezel, appears larger and more prominent on the wrist. Two signature crowns on the right side of the case control its functions: the upper crown sets the alarm, while the lower crown winds the movement and sets the time.
The dial is a real highlight - a classic silver tone with a stunning sunburst finish that plays beautifully with the light. Particularly striking is the applied JLC logo at 9 o'clock, an unusual and intriguing design choice that adds character to the dial. A date window at 3 o'clock, along with bold markers and hands, completes the clean aesthetic and ensures excellent legibility.
This example is in nearly unworn condition, with a mint dial and clean crisp case. The original, solid NSA stainless steel bracelet not only complements the watch perfectly, but also stands out for its quality.
A real collector's bonus: the original Jaeger-LeCoultre box, hang tag and manual are included.
This JLC Memovox E875 is an exceptional piece for those who appreciate functional vintage aesthetics - timeless, elegant and technically refined.
