I don't get a lot of parking tickets. Haven't gotten any for the past twelve months. Knock on wood. But I'm always in fear of getting them. I never knew this watch existed. A beautiful watch, a sensible idea, and a compelling marketing campaign. Thank you...
Love it.. Love it, a lot !.. Love it, indeed.. Thx for this review - superb ! :))

Wow!

You should do you 'reviews' with due diligence, the entire chapter about the E85 8 is plain non-sence, picturing a franken watch. Congratulations. It should read E856, same dial as ref 3161, 3 piece screw back case. Here a Gübelin retailed E856 IpsoVox st...

The signed vs. unsigned thing is not correct when taking into account at least 2 Parkings within the a VERY close (aka in between) range of case/mvmt serials, compared to others without signed crowns. The claim is a claim not a fact. Sorry. The E858 is no...
sure

Just 10 cases (serial number-wise) away from your shown ref. 3161 - an example with signed crowns is known, as a couple of others as well, but still claiming this 'unsigned' bs a 'fact'. Sure mate. ;-) As for the E858 vs. E 856 this 1965 catalog page spea...
Well …

… this takes us directly into our philosophy class: What can we know? ;-) So let us start with logical reasoning: Clavi’s point could be: As there was a Gübelin Ipsovox Parking E858 manufactured by JLC, there also must have been a JLC Memovox Parking E858...

it is usefull to get a limeline established: Gübelin catalog date, case and movement serial of both Memovoxes. Divergency of observed LeCoutre vs. Jaeger-LeCoultre watches. Seeing a calalog pictured Gübelin Parking Ipsovox is a great boot, thanks Clavi. A...
Philosophy or Humility?
By: Marv : June 8th, 2014-01:43
Does it really take us to philosophy? or to good manners, proper language and humility? May I quote Ilja? " the entire chapter about the E85 8 is plain non-sence, picturing a franken watch. Congratulations. It should read E856 .... " And which watch is th...
So?

1) What can we conclude from the mere fact that there has been a Gübelin cataloge picturing an Ipsovox E858 Parking? Right: that there has been a Gübelin cataloge picturing an Ipsovox E858 Parking. Nothing more, nothing less. Not even that there has been ...
Thank you for your nice words!

Hey blomman, I am never far behind :-) By the way, congratulations for your nomination as GP moderator. This is a promising brand with many past and present marvels to be discovered or highlighted. I have heard that the market of GP vintage documentation ...
clarification on alarm:
By: Darron : July 12th, 2014-23:03
Great info Nicolas! It appears this alarm works like a "countdown timer" up to 2 hours. I am guessing that the parking watch and other alarm/memovox models utilize the same alarm function based on the position of the Hour hand? I would like an alarm based...
