Jaeger-Lecoultre Memovox with Date Window (1960s)

This Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox dates to the 1960s, an era in which LeCoultre alarm watches became firmly associated with the iconic Memovox name. The stainless-steel case presents clean, functional lines typical of mid-century Jaeger-LeCoultre design, complemented by a practical date window that enhances everyday usability. The Memovox alarm complication, operated via the dedicated crowns, remains one of the brand’s most recognisable and technically interesting features.

The watch is powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre K825 (also known as E855), a manually wound mechanical movement developed specifically for alarm wristwatches. The movement is in good working order, with smooth hand-winding, functional time adjustment, and a fully operational alarm mechanism. Despite its vintage status, this Memovox is suitable for regular wear, reflecting the durability and thoughtful engineering for which Jaeger-LeCoultre is renowned.

Interesting Fact: The Memovox was one of the first truly successful mechanical alarm wristwatches, adopted by professionals and travellers for its reliability long before electronic alarms became commonplace.
