Watchonista: Eric Wind & Charlie Dunne Quoted on The Memovox

Josh Hendizadeh recently wrote for Watchonista ‘The Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox: A Collector’s Notes’. Within the article, Hendizadeh quotes Charlie Dunne and Eric Wind.

“Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Memovox is the formative alarm wristwatch,” notes watch scholar and collector Charlie Dunne. “It was and is quite different as there was an entire product line of Memovox dress watches, calendar models, divers, and even travel clocks. By the 1960s, JLC had established itself as the most important name associated with the alarm watch.”

“The Memovox is one of the most beautiful watches ever made,” says noted collector Eric Wind, owner and operator of Wind Vintage. “I fell in love with them because they have simplicity of a time-only but with the stealth complication of the alarm. I have an E 850 that I believe is one of the most beautiful watches ever made and would gladly wear exclusively for the rest of my life.”
