How's the sound on the alarm?
Is it similar to the master Memovox?
Beautiful pics BTW

Similar to the current Master Memovox....
Sharing the same cal 956, but more "fuller" in sound due to the case shape.
If you are referring to the MM from the 90's - then it's much better!
More school bell like...

That's good, my older memovox were more of a loud buzz
Is there any archive source of Memovox alarm sound files that you know?
Best, Mike
This indeed is a great tic-tac, heavy in its importance.. A strong & cool timepiece !.. :)
This ain't heavy= nor is it my brothers,,,,,,
Another war story
After the war my dad bought 4 IWC , all the same. He had to sell 2 of them leaving one for me amd one for my brother.
This one is mine
My brother's IWC was unfortunetaly stolen from his home and this is the sole remaining IWC (or Shaffhausen as he loved to call his watch) piece from my father.
Julian
That is certainly a "heavy" story as well....
... history is always standing behind you with ever increasing weight..... Keep it safe, keep it sound!

Sorry to hear about your brother's watch
I had a similar experience and lost a special piece too!
Lucky that you still possess your IWC, a true family heirloom.
Thanks for sharing,

Sounds . . .
. . . achingly familiar.
. . . remains; both George's and Nate's were lifted in home burglaries. Theirs were also steel, but with yellow gold hands and markers.
Uncle George acquired three nearly identical Longines Conquests in the summer of '56, gifting one to Dad and the other to Uncle Nate. Only Dad's . . .

My heaviest
this beastie is definitely heavy:
Weighing in at a chunky 185g, this will save me going to the gym. Okay, got to figure something out to balance my right arm.
HAGWE,

but it looks like traffic sucks where ever you are
Have a good weekend,
Mike
