Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox - Something Old Is New Again

The Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox is a classic in men’s vintage watches. The original was targeted toward business men and the Memovox was the first automatic wrist watch with a built in mechanical alarm function. The model that was first produced in the latter part of the 1960s has not been made in more than four decades, until recently when the company brought back the wristwatch icon in 2010. With the reappearance of the slim, dressier wristwatches and downturn that had consumers looking for a less showy timepiece, Jaeger LeCoultre brought back the watch at the perfect time. One thing to keep in mind, however, is it is a limited edition and only 1,000 of them will be made.

Although there are other watches on the market with mechanical alarms built in, the Jaeger LeCoultre is the epitome of this type of timepiece. This model is the paradigm in function, style and design. Its inner rotating disc allows wearers to set the alarm time quickly and easily, and the international function allows them to change time zones and read the time of 24 cities around the world. Both the International and the traditional Memovox are tributes to the 1960 type Jaeger LeCoultres and both are available in rose gold and stainless steel. Of the 1, 000 pieces manufactured, 750 will be steel and 250 will be the rose gold.

There is a reason why the Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox remains one of the hottest vintage watches on the market, even after 40 years of nonproduction. It is because the design of the watch itself is timeless, and because the timepiece is made by one of Switzerland’s’ most renown manufacturers. Customers can expect top of the line quality and craftsmanship. It is predicted that the new Memovox will become an instant classic and fans of the timepiece all around the world are clamoring to get their hands on one.

The Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox is just one of the many high-quality luxury watches produced Jaeger LeCoultre. The company is famous for its innovative mechanisms and designs. From its humble beginning in a small shop in Switzerland, this company grew to become of the best watch manufacturers worldwide, even rivaling other high-end luxury watch manufactures such Patek Philippe & Co and Vacheron Constantin. The company is known for its quality and style and all its lines of watches are sought after by the elite looking for an elegant arm piece.
