1950: Birth of the Memovox watch
Symbolising the organising of time and planned efficiency of the post-war boom period, the Memovox, literally meaning “voice of memory” quickly became the watch of excellence for men-about-town. It’s striking mechanism gave a pleasant accent to the schedule of daily life: waking up, appointments, train timetables or parking meters.
The first Memovox models were hand wound, Jaeger-LeCoultre 489 Calibre. Thanks to their exceptional quality Memovox Calibres continue their career today: representing exceptional longevity for the watchmaking world.
