SIHH 2018: Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris Date OR Polaris Memovox?
By: amanico : February 19th, 2018-04:06
I discussed with many people at the SIHH and virtually, and while I thought that the Polaris Memovox was a clear winner, I was surprised to hear that the victory of the Memovox was not so large. Yes, the Polaris Memovox is still a winner, in this " fronta...
Easily the Memovox
By: Tim_M : February 19th, 2018-04:19
I cannot believe that anyone would complain about the extra crown and dial details associated with the alarm - on a JLC Polaris, no less! That is like complaining about pushers and sub-dials on a Speedmaster Pro or the presence of a dive bezel on a Submar...

amanico, Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris Date I understand the nostalgia of the "Memovox' but the Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris Date wins for all the reasons that you proffered. As we always have to move forward rather than vacillate in the past, the 'Date' model giv...
yep......

.....really important to move forward rather than vacillate in the past. No point being a dinosaur...... ....though of course, dinosaurs did rule the world for an inordinate period of time.
funny you say that.....

....i was very recently at the Natural History Museum. Fantastic dinosuar section. Learnt of a new dinosaur. The Deinonychus. Like a Velociraptor, but a bit bigger. Scientists are now thinking that these dinosaurs hunted in packs....a bit like wild dogs. ...
haunt or hunt? LoL

We think we hunt these watches.....yet its the other way around!!!
Memovox for me...
By: Dave G : February 19th, 2018-06:12
I visited the London Boutique on Saturday to see the prototypes and full collection. To be honest, they were nice but I wasn’t moved. I really wanted to see the World Time, but the 44mm size is just too big. I would have loved the piece at 41-42mm. The Po...
Three crowns for me.

If I had to choose and make the decision based on your pics, I'd go for the Memovox Simply more watch. Anyway, it would be mandatory to see them live, and feel them on my wrist in order to make the right decision. . Knowing there is the possibility to own...
Although neither one moves me,
By: remarque : February 19th, 2018-08:01
it is interesting to see them side by side. Thickness aside, the memovox version dial has more "breathing room", so seems aesthetically better. With the larger arabics and indices, the smaller date version seems crowded. Maybe not so in real life, as I ha...
That choice sounds similar to the Geophysic family story!
By: eklektik : February 19th, 2018-12:33
Some who relates the name to the past are shocked by the present. However, the buyer who does not care that much about the past would go for the new model without a doubt (even if that person respects the past model and knows well the history of the brand...
