That is really fantastic
Truly a great Memovox Nicolas. I just love black dials and they should produce more black dial watches at JLC. As for the 90's Memovox, I'd prefer the Master Reveil but that's just my opinion of course. Both are probably hard to find, so happy hunting! Really a great article on this Memovox. This domed plexy does the job superb. Man I could go on for hours..........awesome.
Best,

Black Memovox, a Black Beauty!
There was an incredible variety of Memovoxes, from the very early '50ies to the end of the 70ies... Numbers speak for themselves: Around 100 000 pieces were made ( !!! ) in more than 20 different references, using 6 Calibers! Here I will speak of one of t...
Wonderful post, Nicolas
This is one good dissertation of an iconic watch. Love these memovox. Alarm is one of the most practical complication and the memovox is almost synonymus with alarm wristwatches. You have never cease to amaze me with your wonderful JLC collection. Your lo...
Very informative, Nicolas. The Black Memovox is...
a Black Beauty, indeed! Good luck in adding the missing piece(s) to your collection. And thanks for the education about a very intriguing member of the JLC family. tempusfugit
As always, you make my jaw drop!
Are these Memovox's yours mon ami? It'S truly amazing that you have such a huge collection that ranges from the most modern, to the most antique! I wish i could have such a collection, but well finances doesnt allow such things! Merci, Stephen
very detailed and informative report, thanks Nic again.
thanks Nic again, your report is very detailed and informative, learnt a great deal from it. stefan
Thanks Nicolas...
for sharing this wonderful report of such a beautiful watch with us. A large and instructive work as always, Nicolas. I must say that these vintage Memovoxes are a true reflection of a nice and beautiful use of the basic architectural shapes (circle, squa...
Wow, Emilio, what an input.
Yep, this blend of geometrical figures is really awesome. While it is quite risky to blend all these figures, JLC did it in a very balanced way. You should add one in your amazing collection, Emilio. Best. Nicolas
Definitely a killer !
what a nice classic design for this great timepiece. I really love the purity of the dial and the Dauphine hands. I don't know if I prefer the silver or the back dial for this watch, they are both amazing. Thanks for the great post ! Cheers Jeff
That's the problem, Jeff
Both silver and black dials are amazing, really. I will certainly get a silver one, too. But I'm biased, as I'm totally crazy about Memovoxes. Stay Tuned, I took some pics of a nice silver one I will post shortly. Best. Nicolas
Thank you again...
...Nicolas for an interesting and educational post. I have my eye on a 70's Memovox, albeit a white faced beauty and this post has certainly increased my desire to own it. N.
Great review ...

Hi Nicolas, As always thank you very much for the review. AS I saw the black beauty in the flesh I can really appreciate it. A+ Bill
Thanks a lot for this very comprehensive article Nicolas.
I really think the black dial gives it a touch of class. Fr.Xavier

What other dial colors are there for a JLC Memovox 855?
Hi Nico, thanks for the great article. So far I've seen white, beige, red, lapis-painted and malachite-painted dials for the JLC Memovox 855. Now recently i saw a dark grey pearl colored dial, so i wondered what kind of other dials exist. The JLC Concierg...
A couple of those colors I haven't seen....
I can't recall ever seeing beige (other than an aged/toned white dial) and malachite-painted. Do you have pictures? I've actually seen a couple of variations on the execution of the lapis dials you mention. The burgundy dials are also quite rare and I've ...
Other dial colors
Hi Greg, thanks for answering. As the black and white dials have been discussed thoroughly in this forum : The beige dial (a LeCoultre model) the red (dial retouched) cgi.ebay.de the grey cgi.ebay.de the lapislazuli (with a probable later ...
