Specialist note

n 1950, Jaeger-LeCoultre released the Memovox, or the "voice of memory", name derived from the Latin words "memories", memory, and "vox", voice. In 1956, a Memovox featuring the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 815 became the first self-winding alarm watch in history. The present timepiece features an attractive blue lacquered dial nicked named “Lapis Lazuli” by its enthusiasts.
