I chose this rose gold black instead of the blue steel

Mainly because of the date window. A date window in the same color as the dial changes the looks of the watch completely! Along with a strap change to the regular master control calf leather. I think that shade of brown brings out the rose gold better and makes the watch less formal and more versatile. The combo of the rose gold and black dial also attracted me alot. smile Interestingly I passed the blue dial steel version when it was launched but this one I placed my deposit during the pre launch smile Cheers Robin

Watches and Wonders 2022: Jaeger Lecoultre Master Memovox Timer Rose Gold.

 
 By: amanico : July 20th, 2022-09:10
In 2020, Jaeger Lecoultre introduced the Master Memovox Timer, a new Memovox, using the new Master Case, totally revisited, refined should I say, thinner ( 12, 39 mm high ), even though it has the same diameter than the former one ( 40 mm ). The key point...  

Thanks for sharing

A bit underwhelming to be honest, it doesn't really offer anything new other than the metal or am I missing something? Absolutely with you about 24hr and no date. I would take the blue and be done with it.

This one RG is superb but the price.

Alas...

Handsome piece, but I prefer the simpler version.

I may be the only one, but to me the regular Memovox looks better than the Timer. If they ever release with a black or blue dial I'll get it.

Love The Matching Date Windows Background

Many brands could use a bit of 'education' about matching the date / day / month window with their dials. Well played JLC!

True, true...

The rotor

Does anyone know if the new rotor is gold or just plated? Compared to older design that had 22ct riveted weight.

Gold, I think.

I always found this one a bit too busy around the center

 
 By: RayStantzPhD : July 20th, 2022-18:23
even if it is of course nicely made and more complex than the simple, classic Memovox. But here simpler is better. Only the color combos, white metal & blue and now golden with black as a contrast, are very nice and on the plus side. 'On top': I like the ... 

That is cool! Is it 40mm?

 
 By: RayStantzPhD : July 20th, 2022-20:39

Yes, 40 mm.

Thanks, that's top 👌

This is nice !! And one I regretted not getting:)

You are doing the vlad.... again! :p

Possibly... ;)

Nice pics buddy!

I have been sharing mine here. Still loving it ! I actually passed the blue memovox timer in steel when it was launched due to the date window. When I saw this rose gold black, I was blown away and ordered it. The date window in black made a big differenc...  

Thank you very much my friend!

I like the RG version!

But for me the date window disturbs the harmony/symmetry of the dial. If it were without date, a 24 hours alarm and equipped with a WT function I would buy it at once.
