| Description/Comments: | |
| Here is an all original vintage fifties Memovox Wrist Alarm by Jaeger-LeCoultre featuring a Swiss made automatic movement. This watch is in excellent cosmetic and running condition, and is an absolutely stunning example of the wrist alarm timepieces. (When the alarm goes off it even sounds like an alarm clock.) | |

| Case: | |
| The round shaped stainless steel silver colored case measures 1 1/2" across and 1 7/8" (lug to lug.) It is 5/16" thick. There are two original crowns that have the JL logo (the top one is at the 2 o'clock position and operates and winds the alarm feature, and the bottom one is located at the 4 o'clock position and it operates the setting of the time.) The back of the case is marked Memovox and the serial number 1114277. There is a dedication that is professionally done engraved on the case back. | |

| Dial: | |
| The round dial has a satin silver background and divided into two circular sections, and is in the closest to mint condition you'll find on an original vintage wrist alarm watch. The outer most disc features the hour makers that are silver rectangular shapes with an applied black center section at all 12 positions. There is a 60 minutes/seconds scale bordering the inner alarm disc that is marked with luminous rectangular shapes at the 12 hour positions and fine black lines in between. The inner alarm disc features an arrow pointer with a luminous dot in its middle which indicates the time setting for the alarm. The crystal is slightly curved on the surface and rounded at the sides and is raised 3MM above the case at its center. The date feature is located at the 3 o'clock position and has black colored retro-style Arabic numerals against a white background. It is marked Jaeger-LeCoultre (with the JL logo) below the 12 o'clock position, and Automatic above the 6 o'clock position, and Swiss Made below the 6 o'clock position. | |
