Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox

Received from RWG Member 15 March 2005

SS; diameter 42mm; 24-hour dual time wheel; date window; rotating internal bezel

Here are two images of the original Memovox.

The one on the left is the model we usually see compared in replica reviews, one of two main flaws supposedly being that the pointer to the 24-hour 2nd time zone should be at 10 o'clock instead of at 12 o'clock. However, this article clearly shows the introduction of the model where the pointer has been changed to the 12 o'clock position, as shown in the 2nd image above. Thus the only obvious flaw on this particular replica is that the crescent opening for the wheel should begin at start at approximately the 7:30 or 7:00 mark rather than the 7:50 mark. Note on the newer edition, it starts slightly past the 7:00 mark. This fairly accurate replica was originally purchased from Efren, but I in turn acquired it from fellow member 'rag_head'.

The big picture:

Some closer details:

My 'typical' presentation:

The only other comment I would make is that the luminosity of the markers is outstanding, whereas of the hands it is practically nil.

Thanks for looking!
