Memovox Paris Exhibition: The First Memovoxes

 
 By: amanico : December 5th, 2010-23:59
Let's start from the beginning, and have a look at the first Memovoxes, which were manual winding. A detail makes all the difference, between the very first Memovox, the Ref 3150, and all the other which came later: The shape of the lugs. As you will see ...  

Thank you, Nicolas…

For another page of the Memovox history! Will return tonight and read again and again… You really make this forum awesome! Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman

Now I have had a closer look…

And I must say that the 3151 with the radium index numbers and losange hands… Really speaks to me! And the E 858… No wonder – with a number between the DSA and the Polaris… What can be wrong with that one?! The E 857 and the E 859 the two that haunt our d... 

Agreed, Blomman.

I fear that after all these posts on the Memovox, our wish list will get a bit bigger... Agreed on the E 858, but wait to see another great one I saw, the 11005. An original " tubular lugs " Memo would also fit, indeed. Too many watches, my friend... Best... 

Indeed – too many watches…

I love these vintage Memovoxes, I hope JLC brings back a variation a the manual wind alarm movement. Another brilliant post Drew

Ahhhhh!

Thank you Nico for the interesting read...

Looking forward to your next posts. Edward

What I have always been wondering ...

 
 By: HerrK : December 7th, 2010-02:08
... is why the vintage handwound Memovox movements (including Cal. 814 - which we will assumingly see next week) have a more toolwatch like finish whereas the automatics feature Cotes de Geneve on the rotor-bridge. Is there any good explanation for that? ... 

Marvelous
