Hs111 shares his thoughtful weekly watch rotation, focusing on a trio of Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox models and a Rolex Submariner. This post offers a personal glimpse into a collector's decision-making process for daily wear, highlighting the emotional connection and practical considerations behind choosing specific timepieces for various occasions.






The Memovox E855 is a notable iteration within the Memovox family, recognized for its alarm complication and often associated with designs from the 1970s. This reference represents a period when Jaeger LeCoultre explored various aesthetic expressions for its alarm watches, appealing to collectors interested in the brand's mid-century output. It stands as an example of the Memovox's enduring appeal as a functional and distinctive timepiece.
This reference typically features a case, often in stainless steel, housing an automatic movement. The specific caliber, such as the K825 or 825, is known for its dual-crown system, one for time setting and winding, and the other for setting and winding the alarm function. The case diameter is commonly around 37mm, and it is fitted with a crystal, often acrylic, protecting a dial that frequently includes a rotating inner disc for the alarm setting.
For collectors, the Memovox E855 is valued for its mechanical alarm complication and its place in the lineage of Jaeger LeCoultre's alarm watches. Its variations in dial design and case materials offer diversity for those assembling a collection of Memovox models. The E855 appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate the brand's technical innovations and the distinct character of its alarm timepieces from this era.
Maybe because of the Date? I would also have preferred a radial position of the cities, rather than this disposition. Now, the two others, what can I say? I miss my MC Memo, and the E 855 black is a must have. Best, my friend. Nicolas
