Cartier's Tortue case is shaped, of course . . .
. . . but the movements fitted, including the ref 2396 mono-pusher chrono, are round to the best of my knowledge.
There are a number of shaped case manual winding chronographs, but other than the Reverso, I can't think of a single example that ensconces a matching shaped movement. There's at least one historical example from Invicta, but that was very long ago.

Just the watch you have on your wrist, today, tomorrow or Saturday. For me, it is one of my very favorite modern Jaeger Lecoultre: The Amvox II. Dedicated papers by... Magali herself. Leisure, work, travels, one of these watches which go everywhere with m...
JLC Retrograde for me......
Just over four years now since I bought this watch. A lucky scoop as its one I will never let go. ...
Damn great one, my friend. One of the finest manual Chrono which has also the good taste to be...
Under rated... Bravo. Nicolas
Simply magnificent!
And the golden one is a lot more subdued and understated than the later steel versions IMHO. Do you happen to have a picture of the back?
Resting beauty
Spectacular - one would never anticipate such a steampunk back with the sober front! A real gem of a watch. Maybe I should forget all about its steel brethren and just focus on this Thanks for sharing!
Great use of a Reverso case
I'm a fan of Reversos, but when use is made of both sides then they're even what they were destined for. Cheers JML
You are killing me with this one!
If one could have only one Reverso...but of course this is not an issue for you. ;-)
One wonders how many shaped manufacture . . .
. . . manual winding chronograph movements there have been in the history of watchmaking. Chances are you're wearing the sole example. Art
Shaped, as in rectangular, Nicolas? . . .
. . . for the life of me, I can't recall a single shaped chronograph movement other than Jaeger's. I really must be behind the times!
How about Cartier's Ref 2396?
While not fully rectangular, it is certainly shaped (i.e. not round), and manually wound, too.

Killer start Nico!
How are we supposed to compete? Got my new watch today but no pictures yet - tomorrow...
Not one of your regular favourites
But am as happy as can be Unfortunately our daughter has high fever, so pics will have to wait
Heavy rotation this weekend for me
so I cannot only pick one, instead, I'll show 3 I will wear: The vintage Sea Hawk: The Gyrodate, white dial: and this vintage GP dress watch: HAGWE, CC ...
You really don't like coloured gold?
I think you would like the gold dress watch very much, needs to be seen in real.
All three wonderful
But as I told you, your placement of the SeaHawk in Soho awakens very pleasant memories
Zenith Rainbow Fly back...
I consider this an oldie: Tritium lume, nice patina. Forgot to bring it back to rotation, after a well deserved stay on the SPA. It returned smooth and amazing accurate. Fresh picture. 13 minutes old: An old static picture, still with the SS bracelet. Ano...
Very cool, Nilo. That's one I would have if there was no date.
But, still, a superb look. Best, Nicolas
Truly cool pilots watch
While I agree with Nico that it would be even better without the date (I mean combat pilots should know on what date they fly anyway), it is a lovely piece and generally refreshing in a world so often populated by Breitling these days.
For sure it's a pilot watch ...
Check this advertising picture: (Picture from the Internet) Cool, very cool. Cheers, Nilo ...
Well, free theme - Hmmhh.. Let me see.. Decided for 2 little collages..
One with my recent arrival, the Geophysic Universal Time.. A watch, which currently stays on my wrist quite a bit : JLC UT - lots of pleasure The 2nd one of my proven keepers, an all-time love: TT Polaris on a golden day in fall Greetings to all & HAGWE !...
Cool combination!
One to help you enroute and one to tackle all the challenges when you get there Your collages are great, as always!
No, not necessarily. When they used the name Grande Memovox, it was not, in people's mind
A Tribute to the Memovox. There were Tributes of... Here, is it Geophysic UT, which relates to the family case. Best, Nicolas
That's a watch that is and always be ...
On top of my wish list. Lovely autumn pictures. Cheers, Nilo
A quick group shot
Hi Just a few waiting to be worn All around 35mm - nice sweet spot for me. Cheers JML ...
Don't think you're the only
Hi You're not alone - are you coming under the influence of others?! It also gives a good idea of my favourite complicationn. Cheers JML
Indeed, Memovoxes have been one of my first collection themes.. Influence of others ?.. Yes, if you mean Blomman, Nico.. ;))
Can really relate to & share your faible for alarms.. Here just some kind greetings from house to house, out of the box.. 2x 855 ( black & Ebene), 2x 875 & E861 Best, hs ...
The killing family picture. Wow!
And the funny thing is that it is only a partial family picture. You have a bit more of Vintage Memos, if my memory serves me well: Parking, blue dialed E 875, and I am pretty sure you also have a E 871. Without forgetting the E 851. Impressive, my friend...
Well taken points.. Master memory, my friend.. All are correct, that you mentioned !.. Thus, your wish is my order ! ;))
+ LC 3072/ blue, + a little new thing, soon to come in after service.. - Yes, Padawan, good masters he had.. 2x 855, 3x 875 ( blue, blue/white & white), E 861 Added E871, 872, LC 3072, horizontal.. Parking 3161 Rather recent ad-on: E 851 And a little futu...
Wow! You got an impresive collection of Memovox dear Hs!!...
... It shows your passion and love for this classic JLC model! Awesome collection indeed! So enjoyable to view these pictures! Have a nice week end my friend! Abel.
Hmmmh.. ;))) .. New target ? ;)))
Well, and there are some more, like 876, 877 , 855 scale dials.. - It definitely does get a bit more difficult. BTW: now also looking for a Snowdrop, in black ... Best, my teasing friend ! hs
The E 873 is quite rare as only 1000 pieces were made, in gold and steel.
So, it is a pretty challenging bird to catch. The E 855 scale blue? Hmmmm... One on the few targets I still have in the vintage JLC playground. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Downsizing may well be the answer :)
I have to say I really enjoy my 37 and 38mm sized watches so I can understand this really well. Great collection you have there!
You have a charming dilemma for this week end. The kind of dilemmas I like! ;) Which one to wear this ...
... week end? You can´t make wrong choices here! ... whichever you decide to strap on your wrist! Have a nice week end JML! Cordial regards, Abel.
since we talk a lot these past days about the great designer
behind Amvox and Master Compressor line, I'll wear mine by the way " Le Monde" , what's going wrong with lionfish? so good and tasty ...
