Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Reference 3151 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.

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. The case appears to be unpolished. It measures 35mm in diameter and is quire long with a length of 42mm lug-to-lug. The lugs flair out and have a lug width of approximately 17-18mm. 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 box or papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well.

PRICE: $3,900 (ITEM SBUXYT3151)
