Jaeger Lecoultre Grande Master Memovox Rose Gold.

In the early 2000's there was a watch which impressed me a lot for different reasons, the Master Grande Memovox. 


First of all because I don't know any other watch which associates a perpetual calendar to an Alarm. 

Then, because in the early 2000's, there weren't many original watches, at the exception of Ulysse Nardin. 

Oh well, also because the size was important, and most of all the thickness and the weight, especially in platinum. This is this last version which made me dream, with its blue dial. 

That watch was really something. 

Here a photo of the rose gold version. 



Quite romantic, isn't it? 

I would love to see a new version, with a thinner and more elegant case... 

Best,

Nicolas

I'm not sure how it could get any thinner considering the 2 springs + gong....

It is, literally, a "sandwich" of 2 movements put together. If the gong could go around the outside of the movement, which would make the movement wider, that could flatten it. But I agree, it's still a cool complication: QP + Reveil. -Dean

Also I dreamed of this one when it was out

it Is still cool but also a big boy, hence probably why I didn’t go for it.

I think your idea

Of a thinner and more elegant case is a really good idea. It could be a winner. The thing is, when we look in the back catalogue of JLC there are so many fantastic movements with cool complications and combinations , as this is an excellent example of. I ... 

Indeed! [nt]
