Jaeger Lecoultre Master Memovox Cal 914: Close to perfection?

36 mm case: Good for me. Even if I wouldn't mind getting a 38 / 39 mm case. Black Dial: all good, Especially with depth and warmth. See through case back: Here, a clear YES! Because we have to see something uncommon, a manual winding modern JLC movement. ...

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Memovox Cal 914: Close to perfection?

That’s one of my all-time favourites.

In total agreement.

An absolute beauty and the size is actually not bad. It wears a bit bigger from what I remember but it was a very long time ago 🤔

Yes, you are right.

A beauty. Better for me in a 42mm case please!

Well, here I would disagree. Too class to be big, in my opinion.

Absolutely stunning....

Black is beautiful !! Very elegant watch !

Thanks for looking, my friend.

Well said!

A sweet memovox

I always hunted it... Never found mine.

well, if the remarque geophysic edition ever comes to fruition, it would be the coup de grace of the geophysic line imho, and would be a total success...

+1!

Completely agree!

What I am secretly hoping.

Everything to love about this

You should try it you might be surprised...

It has a lot of presence - more than you would think for its diameter

A huge plus one.

38mm is severely pushing it, 36mm is just too far.

Till the 2020 Memovox, there was no other Memovox with a see through case back, indeed.

Nico, may i know how comfortable this model is?

From experience it wears very well, great size

Agreed!

The MMC has an issue. Its domed and engraved case back. Which is not very comfortable, at least on my wrist, too.

If I would be in an open mind stage then YES , huuuuge YES !

+1, mon ami.

Pretty much spot on :)

All true, my lucky friend.

Thanks for sharing Nico

Same for me, my friend.

I concure everything including 39mm

Too kind! ;)

A very nice memovox... coud be in my list for 2021

It will be perfect on your wrist. ;)

Two questions

Not 999, a bit more than that, in steel. I never saw one with Jaeger Lecoultre on the alarm disc!

Here a photo of the instructions book that I found

In silver. not in black, yes I saw that.

You probably must be right.. As usual ;-)

Usual I don't know, but sometimes, yes. ;)

36mm is my single only hangup.

Yes, and the current ones have this feature, too ( see through case back ).

Oh yes 😍😍😍

I already have to fight against the date, then I will have to plead for a manual winding movement, and, cherry on he cake, a smaller case. A big challenge! ;)

What a sublime watch !.. And what superb pics !.. A re-edition or re-creation of a black sibling would be great !

Aaah, you, my friend, you and your magic sleeves... ;)

Maybe one of the things I learned from you..Thx for your kind words, dear friend !

Hahaha.... good one.

Resistance is always futile, particularly in front of that! Great purchase! Best, E.

Agreed 100%.

HI... Is this dial a "T swiss made T" or a "swiss made" ;-)

1164 in steel, a bit more if you include the gold version, which also came with a black dial. And yes, for the first years, the dial ( and hands ) were tritium.

Yes ! But don't like much gold version...

It was just to be precise in the information. There were also 64 pieces with black dial / steel case on bracelet.

Do you have a picture of the watch with bracelet ?

With a bonus, the tritium dial, yes:

Thanks Mr Universalis ;-)

Well, I don't know. Not my taste at all, so I don't know its name. Much better on a strap, for me.

I hope they hear! They are nearly there! Just a black dial and no date ;-) Best, E.

And... A manual winding movement!

of course! ;-)

;)
