Best Value in Vintage Watches: Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox

[@chrisc8073]

I inherited my grandfathers 1960's Memovox many years ago and just put it away in a drawer not knowing what it was. Thanks for enlightening me on what a special watch it is. my son will be next in line and I will certainly educate him on it's history thanks to you.

One of the best Memovox presentations!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this very informative video. I'm the proud owner of my late father's 18k gold JL Memovox from 1953. I had it fully restored&reserviced by the JL vintage department in Le Sentier, Switserland in 2020. Cost me a lot but I think it was worth the investment. It has the original P489/I calibre and movement with reference 789979. Now that it has been serviced, I hope to enjoy it for many years to come and to pass it on to my son. Hope to see the day when the watch becomes a century old.

Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox is one of my favorite vintage watches

[@LifeontheWrist]

Mine too! Do you own one?

[@walterkiebart9728]

Hello, Nice Video. I am right now wearing my 1950 Memovox with Caliber 489/1. I love it soo much.

[@LifeontheWrist]

Hi Walter! That’s is great, a nice early version too! Enjoy it ans thanks for watching

[@jmflyer55]

I’m a fan of all LeCoultre watches, very well made, very high quality. Should be serviced about every 3 years if worn regularly. If you take care of it properly, it will last you a lifetime and then some! Great informative video. As a professional watchmaker, I enjoyed your video also. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, thanks so much for the comment, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video - have you worked with a lot of JLC watches?

[@robdove8341]

The Memovox is my all time favourite vintage watch. Take the young man's advice and grab one while you can!

[@LifeontheWrist]

Appreciate the comment. Easily one of the best watches!

[@freepirate4470]

Got mine today! Either a 1950/51 I think. Cal 489/1

[@stephaniestar]

hello great video! do you know if the automatic memovox alarm function is also automatic or is it manual wound? thanks a lot!

[@reconteam91]

Very informative video, thanks! If you could only have one JLC which would you choose, a memovox or a reverso?

[@LifeontheWrist]

I think I would go for the Memovox. It fits what I like in watches more. Either choice is a great one! Which would you choose?

[@theVhin]

New subscriber here and big fan of JLC! Looking to purchase my first vintage Memovox. ☺️

[@LifeontheWrist]

Glad to have you a part of the channel! Let us know if you need help go find the Memovox! :)

[@theVhin]

@@LifeontheWrist Yes, need your help! What do you think of this? www.jomashop.com/preowned-1-pre-p-jlc25926.html??&pt_source=googleads&pt_medium=cpc&pt_campaign=(ROI)+Dynamic+Remarketing+Product+Viewers&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5eG-vqG05wIVZYdRCh3RSwohEAEYASABEgLLVfD_BwE Is it refurbished or not? Thanks!

[@LifeontheWrist]

So it looks like one of the crowns is a replacement. It isn’t signed. So there has probably been some work done on it

[@theVhin]

@@LifeontheWrist Thank you so much!

[@neilchapman5145]

Ben D quite common for jaeger to replace with a non signed crown. Not a big deal on these watches

[@bennychen7433]

I have a JLC Master Control Memovox, and a memovox travel clock!

[@LifeontheWrist]

Amazing! The travel clock must be really cool!

[@tetratenboim8139]

This is very rare nowadays!

[@LifeontheWrist]

To get one in all original and good condition is becoming more and more hard to find

[@paulinorojorojo8470]

I have one of theese not in such a good condition tough could you help me find what's his value and how much it will cost me repairing it?

[@paulinorojorojo8470]

It's the exact same that your thumbnail btw

[@LifeontheWrist]

Hey Edgar, got your message on FB! Will reply to you there

[@jacksugden8190]

Never had any of these

[@LifeontheWrist]

You’ll need to give it a go!

[@jamest3164]

It's so hard to find these watches in good condition though. Is there value in something that is hard to find then?

[@LifeontheWrist]

That’s an interesting way to look at it. I think value could also speak about the time that you spend looking for a good quality memovox. The time you spend researching JLC is invaluable in your watch journey because of how great a manufacture JLC is

[@dellingrasmegin4274]

Informative, but painful to watch.
