An historical question...
...on Christmas day. A friend, knowing my love for the brand, is close to gifting me with a 60's Memovox. Prior to committing to this purchase however he has asked a question. Since I have no answer I am taking the liberty of asking my more knowledgeable friends on this forum. It seams that this particular watch contains a Dunhill bumper movement. During the 60's did JLC use Dunhill bumper movements in their Memovox or has someone simply created a Frankenstein? Thank you all and have a very safe and Merry Christmas.

Dunhill Memodate
I have a old watch book (A Schiffer collectors from 1994) which features a Dunhill by LeCoultre. Basically, a gold filled case with stylised arabic font. Calibre is the Memodate calendar (825). So perhaps as well as providing the movement, perhaps LeCoult...
Dunhill...
In case the movement is signed Dunhill the dial should read Dunhill as well. Most likely the dial got changed. What is the movement's caliber and serial number? What sort of case is it? Hallmarks, serial... Ilja

Do you agree to say that this Dunhill " Memovox " has a JLC Caliber inside? 815 or 825 ( No dae or date )? Do you have a pic in your HD of this one? Best. And thanks for your input. Nicolas
well...
Without seeing a picture I can't agree, but yes there have been JLC's with Dunhill branding. A friend from London has more knowledge about this topic than me, but he is not an "online person". Personally I have seen desk alarm/calendar clocks made by JLC,...
