The Memovox is, after the Reverso, the most iconic creation of Jaeger-LeCoultre. It was originally released in very early 1950's and has, since then, become the most popular alarm wristwatch in the world. Interestingly, its name comes from the contraction of two Latin words: Memor and Vox and can be translated as the voice of the memory.
As a true timeless model, the Memovox has seen very few changes in its appearance over the past 70 years and is instantly recognisable.
Combining elegance and utility, the watch is still a best-seller today as well as a collectors' favourite.
