Jaeger-LeCoultre 18K Gold Memovox Reference E853 Unpolished w/ Extract
Along with the Atmos clocks, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s advancements in alarm timepieces throughout the 20th century are certainly one of the most iconic genres from the Le Sentier manufacturer. The reference’s “E” stands for Etanche, which indicates the case is a water-resistant model.
This is one of the best Memovox E 853 examples we have ever seen, The watch is powered by the calibre 815, automatic alarm wristwatch. The movement is a bumper-automatic, which means it does not rotate a full 360 degrees. Instead, the oscillating weight will bounce back and forth between two spring sides within the movement.
The dial and hands feature radium lume. The 18K yellow gold case is unpolished, and in remarkable condition. The watch measures approximately 37mm in diameter. I cannot imagine finding a better example in the forthcoming years! The watch comes with an Extract from the Archives.
