well, if the remarque geophysic edition ever comes to fruition, it would be the coup de grace of the geophysic line imho, and would be a total success...

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Memovox Cal 914: Close to perfection?

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-10:36
36 mm case: Good for me. Even if I wouldn't mind getting a 38 / 39 mm case. Black Dial: all good, Especially with depth and warmth. See through case back: Here, a clear YES! Because we have to see something uncommon, a manual winding modern JLC movement. ...  

That’s one of my all-time favourites.

There is absolutely nothing to dislike. It’s beautiful. Regards Kev.

In total agreement.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-14:47

Yes, you are right.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-14:47

Absolutely stunning....

 
 By: AIPlatt : February 15th, 2021-11:30
Understated but direct.

Well said!

A sweet memovox

 
 By: VinnieD : February 15th, 2021-12:42
One that I should not have let go

+1!

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-14:49

Completely agree!

 
 By: th.gr.ga : February 15th, 2021-12:50
This particular model is a stunner and not easy to track down. Would make perfect sense for a re-issue

What I am secretly hoping.

Everything to love about this

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : February 15th, 2021-12:54
Except diameter which is only a circumstance of my large wrist. Lucky for those with the right wrist size.

A huge plus one.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-14:56

38mm is severely pushing it, 36mm is just too far.

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : February 15th, 2021-17:12
But its undeniably beautiful. One of the few I believe with a sapphire caseback as well.

Nico, may i know how comfortable this model is?

 
 By: Berkeleygis : February 15th, 2021-14:00
I am asking since it seems the caseback looks bulky. I had a problem wearing JLC MMC (granted the size is bigger) because the case back bulkiness, thus I had to sell it. Thank you.

Agreed!

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-23:34

If I would be in an open mind stage then YES , huuuuge YES !

 
 By: Mike H : February 15th, 2021-14:26
This is exactly the kind of stuff anybody could dream of !

+1, mon ami.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-14:51

Pretty much spot on :)

 
 By: jml_watches : February 15th, 2021-14:49
I'm with you on all those points! A few shots to add fuel to the fire! Cheers JML Ps don't forget the sound - that's what the gong is for! ...  

All true, my lucky friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-14:51

Thanks for sharing Nico

 
 By: singingbee : February 15th, 2021-18:02
This IS perfection for me!

Same for me, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-23:19

I concure everything including 39mm

 
 By: Gelato Monster : February 15th, 2021-21:02
Perfect taste Vlad

Too kind! ;)

A very nice memovox... coud be in my list for 2021

 
 By: Alfihar : February 15th, 2021-22:01
As you know, I’m hunting the Tribute to Deep Sea Us, the Duometre chrono black dial and a 3rd one. For this last one I have not decided and this memovox is on the start line of the race... with others. Love the fact that it is a memovox because for me ala... 

Two questions

 
 By: Alfihar : February 15th, 2021-22:50
1) it seems that this watch has only been produced in 999 copies even though it is not a limited series, ins’t it ? 2) it also seems that two dials have been produced. The one on your photos and another with « Jaeger LeCoultre » written on the alarm dial.... 

Here a photo of the instructions book that I found

 
 By: Alfihar : February 15th, 2021-23:26
Credits Cda I guess I’ve seen a picture but not sure.... I'm probably getting old ;-) ...  

In silver. not in black, yes I saw that.

 
 By: amanico : February 15th, 2021-23:29
...  

36mm is my single only hangup.

 
 By: systematic.entropy : February 16th, 2021-07:33
However, seeing the gong through the back is exceptionally unique!!!

Oh yes 😍😍😍

 
 By: Watcholic_id : February 17th, 2021-00:49
Absolute perfection for me! Love the silver dial too. Any reasons why JLC don't make this as a general release piece?

What a sublime watch !.. And what superb pics !.. A re-edition or re-creation of a black sibling would be great !

 
 By: hs111 : February 17th, 2021-06:43
Some 2 and a half years, I fell on this; - not the Tritium dial, but still very nice ! Thus, resistance was futile.. Simply a pleasure on the wrist ! Subtle coolness !.. Meanwhile my Best, hs. ...  

Hahaha.... good one.

 
 By: amanico : February 18th, 2021-01:00

Agreed 100%.

 
 By: amanico : February 19th, 2021-00:25

HI... Is this dial a "T swiss made T" or a "swiss made" ;-)

 
 By: Alfihar : February 18th, 2021-06:54
You were (still and again) right ... According to the information found, JLC started producing this model around 1997, and had to modify all its Tritium luminescent materials (on all its products) by replacing it with Superluminova and respecting an evolu... 

Yes ! But don't like much gold version...

 
 By: Alfihar : February 18th, 2021-07:34
I've sent you a sms... ;-)

With a bonus, the tritium dial, yes:

 
 By: amanico : February 19th, 2021-10:02
...  

Thanks Mr Universalis ;-)

 
 By: Alfihar : February 19th, 2021-10:12
It looks like the « rice » bracelet on Reverso, isn’t it ?

of course! ;-)
