Black Master Control Memovox - got one!
Well, I have had my share of luck today. I found a black Master Control Memovox. I cannot believe my luck.
Does anyone know (here's looking at you, Amanico...) the history of this watch....years of production, numbers produced, which calibre, variations, etc.? I sincerely apologize for the really bad photos - still on my Learner's permit...;-) Claus

Black Master Control Memovox - got one!
Well, I have had my share of luck today. I found a black Master Control Memovox. I cannot believe my luck. Does anyone know (here's looking at you, Amanico...) the history of this watch....years of production, numbers produced, which calibre, variations, ...
That's a beauty!
Congraulations! A Black Memovox with the display caseback to boot . Hard tobeat. Where did you find it? Read this post jlc.watchprosite.com by Dje about the Black memovox with the display caseback. I think your edition is the only Memovox with the a rear ...
Have been looking for it here, there and everywhere...found it next door...
I have been looking for this watch here, in 'competing' foras and on the webpages of a lot of reputable dealers without any luck. Suddenly it turned up on a local Danish site (vintageure.dk) - and even better, the seller was located right next door to my ...
This is a long story, Claus
First of all, let me congratulate you, and tell you that I'm really envious, as this is one of these modern Memovoxes I hunt... I didn't end with the Memovoxes, Claus, it is an endless topic, and I have to do some searches before posting something ..." Se...
As always you come through with the key information, Amanico
Thank you very much for the background information...I am very happy with this catch. ...and the writing _is_ very nice - even though it is not etched into the sapphire ;-) I did actually receive a reply from JLC tonight on 'that other issue'. Best, Claus
Now, tell me one thing, Claus.
And please tell me the truth... Are you starting a Black Memovox Collection? Am I confusing with someone else or you also have some nice Vintage Black Driiiing things? Best, Nicolas
The idea had occurred to me...
that I am in possession of the beginnings of a 'Black Memovox' collection as I do have a Polaris, a Master Compressor Memovox, an NSA ('original LE edition without etchings...') and now the Master Control Memovox.... BUT, I know I'm up against a formidabl...
Imitation was ...mutual, Claus
As a very few weeks after having seen yours in the flesh, I found the same E 877... Or maybe it your brother's...? These are just fascinating watches, my friend. Well, now you'll have to find a E 855 and a Deep Sea Alarm! Best, Nicolas...
Good challenge...let's see about that
The inspiration you found came from my brother's watch. I was the one with the Polaris '68 ;-) It was a great day with the Master Class and then the Reverso Triptyque. Unforgettable. Let's see about the two watches you mention - I got the feeling that it ...
Well, one is " easy " to find,
The Black E 855... Not that easy, but with a bit of patience, I may even find one for you. Actually, finding one by yourself is more exciting... As for the Deep Sea Alarm, things are a bit more complicated...Not to say almost impossible if we speak about ...
And it is even better in real, Joe.
That's something very special with this E 877. Not really photogenic, but once on the wrist, it is just fatally attractive. Best, Nicolas
Still water runs deep!
Congratulations, Claus, on this acquisition..."still water runs deep" Master Memovox!!! It took me almost 2 darn years to, at the end of the day, be with...The watch has been serving me as a monthly wear for almost 4 years to date. This "still water runs ...
Thanks - and great pictures!
I can certainly see what you mean. It is a very normal-looking 'undercover' watch - until you turn it around and get to look at the alarm function. That's why I like it so much. Great pictures, by the way. I hope to be able to shoot such pictures at some ...
Congratulations
Hi, I love this watch. It was my first JLC (and I still have it). They made: - 1164 pieces with black dial in steel on strap (among these yours and mine). - 64 pieces with black dial steel on steel - 217 pieces with black dial in pink gold on strap - 225 ...
Beautiful Piece. I had no idea...
...that these were made in such low numbers. I owned a black on steel for a while, and of course gave it up. Another heartbreak after seeing these pics. Ken in NYC
Fantastic black Memovox!
Congratulations, Claus! This is a gorgeous timepiece. Truly spectacular. Hope you enjoy your new beauty for years to come! Cheers, Daos
Nice watch. Congrats!
Love the design of the gong. It's a neat change from the standard memovoxes.
Claus, that display back with suspended gong is stunning
this is the model i would die for, (although i'd settle for a steel back and silver dial). to actually be able to see the gong being struck is something to dream about. more pics please preferably injected intravenously best Graham
Wow, what a beauty!
Many congrats, the black dial with display back is just awesome. I am looking for one without success for a long time now, ‘temporary’ settled previously for an Amvox1 and now the Master Reveil but they are just not the same. I didn’t kn...
re: Black Master Control Memovox
Claus, Congrats on your Memovox find, wear it in good health! As for your 'Atrocious' photos, practice makes perfect so let's see more pics! -MW
Thanks for all the comments - more pics to follow
Thank you for all your comments and the detailed input about the history and background of this watch. The week-end is coming and will allow me to experiment a bit more. One aim is to upgrade my pictures from 'atrocious' to at least 'nice' or 'could be wo...
