The Memovox Reference Post.
Here, I'm trying to gather all the documents and versions of this iconic watch.
I will start with the Memovox Exhibition, and then speak about all the Vintage Memovoxes.
If you have a Memovox which is not already posted, please add it to this thread, in the appropriate category.
Of course, if you have a Memovox already covered in these posts, you can post it.
In both cases, please try to provide the case and the movement number.
Have fun!
Best,
Nicolas.

This is truely one of the most comprehensive riview Of Jaeger LeCoutre Memovox history.
Spectacular review and pictures. Bravo.
The very first Memovox:The Ref 3150.
A detail makes all the difference, between the very first Memovox, the Ref 3150, and all the other which came later: The shape of the lugs. As you will see on the pictures posted here, the lugs are tubular. And if you pay attention to the pictures, you wi...

The Memovox clocks.
I have to confess that I know nothing about these Memovox clocks, but it appears to me that any Memovox Fan should have one, at least. Indeed, they are here to remind us that the Memovox was not only wristwatches, but also, sometimes, inspired clocks. Som...

Unknown Le Coultre Memovox 10k filled
I’ve found this absolute gem, however I can’t find hind nor hair of it online so I have no idea about its origins on reference. I’m not sure as to whether it’s an incredibly rare model or if it’s a standard dial and hand set dropped into a very cool 10k y...
