The alarm watch that collectors remember.
What makes the Memovox more than a dress watch?
The Memovox is one of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s signature ideas: a mechanical wrist alarm built into an elegant daily watch. In ref. E874, that idea is paired with automatic winding and a 36 mm case size.
A practical complication with real JLC identity.
The Memovox remains distinctive because the alarm is useful, tactile and immediately tied to Jaeger-LeCoultre history. This E874 keeps that character in a wearable vintage format.
