I support the "Reverso Memovox" movement...
...but I have more specific desires concerning the functions themselves. I'd like to see some or all of the following features:
*On/Off alarm functionality
*24-hour setting scales to distinguish between AM and PM
*Count-down display to set the alarm on that basis (like UN's Sonata)
*Automatic winding of alarm and caliber power reserves
*A power reserve indicator for the alarm
*A repeater governor and welded-sapphire gongs as seen the MMR... perhaps this feature could be reserved for top Memovox models.
Some of this would make more sense on a Reverso that could split the dials and functions over two faces to avoid crowding or unduly small displays. JLC has led in alarm watches for decades, but its leadership has been challenged by high-end alarm models such as the Sonata, the GO Senator Diary, and even the Patek Philippe 5520P -- all of which surpass the functionality of even recent flagship Memovox models like the Grande Reveil or Grande Memovox.
Best,
Tim

I have a dream
To see a Reverso Memovox, the ultimate combination of the Maison's two specialties. But it will never be fulfilled I am afraid...
Back to the future for me
Hi I'd really like one with the Master Control gold medallion on the back - I've always thought they looked so good. It's also something only the wearer knows. If that's not an option, how about a Westminster chime or similar for the alarm. Cheers JML
why not go bit wild ??
who said tantalum must be reserved for top notch models??? tantalum case and salmon dial....I have the feeling that would make many here hungry....
actually, that special tone of tantalum would match wonderful also with a burgundy dial (no date please)....
