A short glimpse into the JLC watchbox - the charm of some early Memovoxes & another delicacy..
Team,
As some of you here already know, about one focus point of my
collection efforts are the JLC Memovoxes and I just recently thought to quickly
browse through this part of my stables for some of them,
specifically the early times and models. Here to start our view & little time-travel:
As a beginning here JLC Ref. 3150, an early Memovox of the early 50ies, typical for her tubular, "hooded lugs", which define
this very Reference in a characteristic way;
The 3150 was released 1950, introduced for the first time at the Basel Fair.
My joy was even bigger, as here she is, a Memovox, from
the mid 50ies, which has a great dial with a two-toned
patina, ranging from light cream to a champagne-type,
and wonderful blued hands.
Find here the example pic from my stables, including some advertisment from the
Basel introduction in 1950.

Here now, to switch gear a bit, another small delicacy, the JLC E159, (in fact belonging to my dear wife, now for more than 10yrs), and
After quite some intense search (in fact for more than 5 years), eventually - another one for me, to make the pair of E159..
It’s really a big pleasure to look down on her and the harmony of the black dial with the patinated indices & pointers is indeed
Here a smallish (34mm) Duo: the E159 (rt) and another early MMV, the E 851 (left), a charming pair IMHO.
Thus, finally above here together this Duo of these two smallish timekeepers, which however
are true JLC Vintage pleasures for me to wear & look down on them.
Rendering a small but convincing spell..
Here therefore now, another 2nd little delicacy, from 1956, when she was presented
in recognition of participation of the recipient in a hunt for elks:
JLC Memovox Ref 851, Cal 489/1, diam: 34
Hope you liked the little excursion:
- smaller pieces, can generate big pleasures..
At least for me..
Cheers & Best,
