Well I think that
they all are already on my list but I just named them differently/wrongly and didn't put all references under the manufacturer just the main player or colloquial name Thank you This message has been edited by Ares501 on 2009-02-25 00:20:49
You are right

Lanco made the Lanco-fon in 50's also used by Gruen and benrus
it had a different operation to the cricket. the inner dust cover was 'tuned' and acted like a bell as a pin vibrated against it from the movement. it is recognisable by only having 1 crown which worked both the winding and the alarm. it sounds great, lik...
Ahh, beat me to it, Graham
I really like those Lanco-Fons. Single crown and no activation button makes it a neat design (though I do wonder how easy it is to accidentally deactivate the alarm with your wrist). The pin activation is also cool and unique. As you say, AS made many Ala...

Hi Damian!
I don’t know if you would like me to post any photos of Memovox here… Or if you had enough of them over at the JLC forum (don’t want to bore you with repeated photos). I am not good at alarm watches outside JLC but I do miss Poljot in your list. And when ...
Now that is what I call
awesome addition to thread :0) Yes I'm easily bored but never with watches moreover alarm ones and specially not the galore of JLC that you contributed..... didn't know that after all this time my Alarm thread is still interesting Thank you for reminding ...
