My first

Feb 05, 2024,20:53 PM
 

My first JLC. Still love it. And I have it on the wrist right now.
And by the way the first JLC transmitting the sound through the glass. A great sound on mine.
It was regulated by Sylvain Golay in 2004 when I visited the manufacture for the first time, and it’s still nearly perfectly precise since.
A watch I could not sell, ever. But you know that, you already tried to buy it. 😁

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Memovox: The Epitome of Elegance.

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-10:00
Let's think about it: Among all the modern Memovox, which one is the most elegant? Yes, there is an evident subjectivity in this question, as elegance depends on our very own conceptions / criterias / taste / education, but I believe that the Master Memov...  

Vintage apart... ;)

I have the rose gold version - more formal than the steel one but also beautiful.

I would also add that the gong embedded in the sapphire crystal makes a huge difference - mine has by far the best sounding alarm of any watch that I have ever heard, not just among JLC. Very melodious, high end repeater like.

I agree

Here you go!

Gorgeous!

Fabulous review

Probably my favorite line from JLC, with the possible exception of the old Master Ultra Thin 34mm, with the caliber 849.

Thank you for this superb thread !

Not sure that the Nato strap is very appropriate here but the stripes " match" the colors of tritium index ...  

Nice and daring combo!

+++1!

Beautiful watch and great review, thanks!

Mine says hi. ...  

Lucky you!

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:26

Thanks, Nico!

It is not the one with tritium, as I know you prefer, but still not too bad.

Thank you for this presentation,

 
 By: Ivo22 : January 3rd, 2024-17:07
totally agree with you. That's why I secured one earlier. Ref. 144.8.94 (Cal. 914) is a very balanced and restraint watch, and it avoids the extra bulk of Memovoxes with automatic mvt. Nice chime after more than 25 years. Nevertheless, I treated her recen...  

Thank you - finding just the bracelet is difficult I believe

 
 By: Ivo22 : January 3rd, 2024-17:28
but feasible with some semi vintage JLC watch attached... (not the worst way to buy a bracelet I think)

;)

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:27

That would be an overkill πŸ˜€

Grey suede is an easy solution, although definitely a downshift.

We will open our eyes...

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:27

Thanks in advance!

 
 By: smironov : January 3rd, 2024-21:50

Excellent!

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2024-21:27

Had one. Sold it. Regret it, especially after a thread like this.

 
 By: cfn : January 4th, 2024-06:08
Sold it - among other things - due to the size. It never really felt right on my wrist. But as a watch, it is gorgeous. And for a long time the onnly Memovox where you could see the alarm at work. Miss it. Claus ...  

Memovox are lovely watches!

I had mine on the wrist during the whole Christmas holiday, it was a pleasure to wear and play with. I only wish it has a see through case back like the latest model, but except that, it is perfect! Maybe one day I'll chase the black one... I tried it onc... 

Both are great - but for different reasons

 
 By: jml_watches : January 4th, 2024-17:06
Hi Well you know I have the black dial version, I'm still looking for an automatic one too. The automatic - it's a great size, and has the gold medallion on the case back as do other master control of the same era. Be a nice contrast to the manual - which... 

Good points, mon ami.

Yes

 
 By: E in PA : February 7th, 2024-20:40
Thats the one

Funky cool, this one.
