A moment of poetry: Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox Parking, ref 3161.
On a desert rose, which allows to find the best angle in order to find a good light.
It is not the watch I wear the most, but that doesn't mean that I don't love it.
By far.
Pure poetry.
One detail I appreciate a lot is its manual movement. Winding it everyday is part of the pleasure to wear it.
Best,
Nicolas

I have a fondness for this kind of crowns:
relatively thin, with a good diameter and a vivid knurled. It seems that match perfectly the fingertips!
Kudos to the strap, is enchanting.
Best, my friend!

I'm not a connoisseur of these old JLC
and my favorite is the E855 but the picture setup is a reference one, bravo on this one Nicolas.

When less is more
Hi
Looks really nice. A great restrained watch - definitely a case of less is more.
Sometimes a watch doesn't 'shout' about itself and is all the better for it.

The Bauhaus phrase defines exactly my feeling when i wear mine: a steel 855.
Perfect size, perfect patina on the silver dial, pure round shape, lovely historical piece, very 1960's...
I find it EXTREMELY elegant. And a very practical complication.
Just perfect.
Enjoy yours, Nicolas.

Thank you, Frank. I enjoy my black and white pair a lot, for sure; [nt]

E 855 Ebene Dial. Cool. You should try to hunt a good set of crowns.
They are flatter than these ones. And an alarm disc as well.
Here is a good and nice one:
Apparently there were many original configurations for this model...
What do you think of these dials and crowns?
1, 2 and 4 are E 855, but not Ebene dial which had a special dial and hand config.
The pic Nr 3 features a E 853.
The Nr 4 has a total correct configuration for a E 855, and correct E 853, even if I would love to see better pics of the upper crown.
The Nr 1 is all correct, at the exception, maybe, of the crowns. Too thick, at least from what I see on the picture.
Number 2: I would need to see the case and movement number, as this dial came only for one year, or two, but not more.
Alarm disc is supect, to me.
Best,
Nicolas
It seems difficult to find one's way among all the versions...
And there is a lack of resources on the internet about the vintage Memovox models.
What do you think of a YG watch which has a 0,750 hallmark on the inside of the caseback but no hallmark at all on the case itself? Can such a case be 18k without a hallmark? Did they hallmark casebacks only?
I am just about to purchase it but I have this doubt...
Thanks again in advance.
I particularly like the brown ostrich strap on this...
... goes well with the very light patina on the dial ... mmm, perfect!
Your 3161 is such a beauty !!.. Always pleasure to see her.. Here just some greetings from house to house !
