With this piece, Jaeger-LeCoultre combined two of the most popular technical advancements of the 1950s: the alarm mechanism and automatic winding. Further pushing the boundaries of fine watchmaking, the Manufacture developed this watch in order to facilitate the life of its owner: the Memovox Automatic Calendar reminds them of the many deadlines throughout the day and doesn’t require any winding, a world first! 

The Collectibles book is an incredible in-depth look of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s watchmaking history as it is the first time such detailed information on key 20th-century models has been brought together in a single volume. Written by the experts within La Grande Maison, it covers the period from 1925 to 1974, surveying 17 of the most significant models produced by the Manufacture. Impressively exhaustive, the book features detailed background stories as well as informative photography and historic documents from the Manufacture’s archives.
