Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Reference 3150 w/ Box Unpolished

Introduced in 1950 at the Basel Fair, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s alarm wristwatch was one of the most significant releases within the watch industry. The later defined “Memovox” would take on several adaptations in the form of and entire product line of pocket watches, as well as stationary and travel clocks. While perhaps not spoken about as frequently as other models, there is no doubt that the Memovox is an icon.

This Memovox is a special example which I would personally love to own. Both the reference 3150 and 3151 were the first Memovoxes to be introduced commercially. The dial is very nice on this example with blue accents.

This example is the best I have ever seen in person or online. The dial is in exceptional condition. Usually, these are quite rough because of the case design. The case is unpolished. It measures 35mm in diameter and is quire long with a length of 38mm lug-to-lug. The lugs are super interesting and a tubular/hooded design. It is a two-body case design, with the lugs attached to the bezel and the case back being a snap on. The crowns are unsigned on these models.

The watch does not come with papers. It does come with a Memovox box, which is just as rare as the watch. It is paired on the original strap with a steel buckle likely made by Wenger. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. Congratulations to the next owner, because this is just one of the coolest watches.
