Jaeger-LeCoultre “wakes up” the Memovox

Originally launched in 1950 with a manual-winding 489 calibre, the Memovox captured the mood of post-war effervescence, when every minute was to be lived to the full A date display was added in 1959, the same year as the Memovox Deep Sea The enterprising spirit of this first ever dive watch with an alarm was confirmed in 1963 by the launch of the Memovox Polaris.

In 1970 the Memovox Polaris II came equipped with Calibre 916, a new movement developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre, beating at 28,800 vph and wound by a rotor that turns freely in either direction Lastly, in 2010, the brand introduced two more interpretations: one a clear descendant of the original Memovox and the other, the Master Memovox International, that featured the same alarm disk, inscribed with 24 world cities, as a model from 1958 These mechanical changes are housed in a Master Control Memovox with alarm and date, described by Jaeger-LeCoultre as "Reinterpreting the graceful and uncluttered dial of the original 1950 Memovox in a streamlined modern style".

The second iteration is the Master Control Memovox Timer whose alarm is synchronised with a timer. . Source
