1 in stock
A classic and stunning dress alarm watch by Jaeger LeCoultre (Swiss), this Jumbo HPG Memovox has been professionally inspected in-house by Localtime but also by our watchmaker and is ready to wear or join your collection!.
The 14k solid yellow gold fluted bezel (37mm or 40mm counting either of the 2 the logoed crowns at 2h or 4h) measures 43mm L2L, has a handsome thickness of 13mm and has been professionally cleaned and lightly polished, to maintain its original integrity. It is in a lovely vintage condition and is a very classy looker on the wrist. The lumed silver dial (with grey inner dial-disc), gold hands and metal stick indices are simply classy and the lume still glows a bit in the dark if light is applied. It is carrying the well-known and respected automatic JLC Cal. 916 (also referred to as the “Speedbeat” movement as it featured a 28,800 A/h oscillation for greater accuracy) with HPG designations (High Precision Guarantee) and is now wearing a Poletto Cinturini large-scale handmade crocodile strap in black (these lovely straps are also listed separately in the store). The watch came with a LeCoultre strap and buckle on it and we have used that buckle on the new crocodile strap, while we kept the original LeCoultre strap (brown pigskin) on the side, to include with the watch. We do not use professional cameras for our photography but rather a small snapshot camera and phone camera. As with all the watches we handle in-house, the listed price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.
Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.
Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
