Footnotes

Meaning 'voice of memory' the Memovox was first introduced by Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1950/51. The double crowns allowed you to wind the watch and set the alarm separately. The collection has included numerous expansions throughout the years with models introduced for diving, dual time zones and even one designed to remind the owner to feed the parking meter.

The reference H-4518 is one of the earliest historic editions of this legendary watch.
This first edition remains a rare and highly sought-after timepiece among collectors, thanks to its timeless design and iconic movement. Its clean design and oversized dial make it a timeless favorite among collectors.
