Ref 3072 – a very intriguing watch..!
Thank you for reminding us of this funky lady, Nicolas!
At first glance you might think it’s “just another funky egg” from that time…
There was a few with similar case shape:
The E 861…
The E 870…

The E 873…

But when you look closer there is a much bigger difference between the 3072 and the others.
The E 861 and the E 873 has almost identical cases, the difference is the colour of the dial and movement (Cal 825 vs. Cal 916).
The E 870 still has a round dial.
But look at the 3072…
Not as elegant shape as the others, a somewhat odd shape on the hands and crowns…
High glossy index that makes them changes colours all the time…
The toned dial with darker edges…
A watch that makes you thinks…
And re-think again and again!
At least the High Precision is Guaranteed!
For sure a piece much better in real then in pics!
Best, my friend

LeCoultre Memovox Ref E 3072.
Here is another original Memovox from the 70ies, the Ref E 3072. When the brand entered the Seventies, some funky Memovoxes saw the light, such as the Snowdrop, the Polaris II, the TV screen, and ... this one. All these funky Memovoxes share one common po...
What a strange shape!
We obviously see quite often this kind of cases but with case shapes closer to the round ones... or along the horizontal axis. This is very unusual for me to see such shape along a vertical axis. Is the bracelet dedicated to this watch or was it adapted? ...
Strange, funky, UFO, whatever you want, but, in the real ... Dangerously appealing...
To wear it is another great experience. When you see it, you have some doubts which vanish once on your wrist. Best, Nicolas.
Yep, indeed.. Saw her.. And since that..
.. always have enjoyed her since then - exactly as you said, even much better on the wrist, also. A nice perspective on the wrist Nice profile, isn't it ? Enjoyed again these top- post marvellous shots by Nico of the Blue Lady, (which BTW are not that eas...
Hey KoC!
How could I forget?! Moments like that are unforgettable! Especially in Paris together with the Dark Count himself… Hope to relive such a moment soon! Best Blomman

Well, to me I see it veeery different from a Snowdrop or a Polaris II
Less easy to appreciate, not less desirable. Indispensable in a Memovox collection, IMO. Best, my friend! Nicolas.
Absolute different! :)
One that would fit right into your stunning collection, my friend! Best Blomman
I know, I know, but once again, the King of Bastardos was faster than me...
Even if in this case, they are two. Definitely in my list. Best, Nicolas.
King of Bastardos..?!
Ah, you mean HS fastest of them all; aka KoB former known as KoC! Best Blomman
It's a 70's disco watch...
With the particular 70's taste. To wear one E3072 properly one needs sideburns, a orange bell pants and one of those 70's shirts. Soundtrack: The Who, of course. Now serious: it's a desirable Memo for all Memo fansband thank you for this post. Cheers This...
I love the way you described it, Nilo.
Well, I already have several CDs from The Who... Have to buy the rest. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
To complete your 70's mood ...
Try to see "The Summer of Sam". In this movie, you have everything that I try to describe. Cheers
Well, I recently saw Austin Power, it was not bad. :)
Funnily, I have a review in stock about bthe mad seventies... Funny coincidence that you speak about that... Best, Nicolas.
Here is the proper "dressing code" for this Memo ...
Pay particular attention to the guy (John Leguizamo) shirt neck and the shoe high heels. Cheers
I love the play between the circular alarm disc and the oval dial
both this watch (and your circular second reverso) revel in the tension between the inner circle and the outer shape of the case..... as always, thanks for sharing J
love this blue egg so much too...
... with the bracelet together, it looks so powerful too. btw, your post reminds me it is time to take her out on my wrist soon stefan
You will, you will, I trust .. And BTW..
.. what shall we watch- hobbits do about the fact, - that our revered Dark Count owns sooo many, we mortals probably won't ever (or only very rarely) might come close ? Further to that and again my friend: these duo shots of ours by you are simply magnifi...

They love lucky Bastardos', neck.... See you soon, and, by the way, it was a pleasure and an honor to take pictures of your watches! Nicolas.
