Historical Notes
Founded in 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre is regarded as one of Switzerland's finest watch and clock manufacturers, producing some of the most innovative timepieces in horological history.
The Memovox ("Voice of Memory") was introduced in the 1950s and became famous for its mechanical alarm complication, producing a distinctive buzzing alarm that made it one of the company's most successful designs.
Jaeger-LeCoultre travel clocks combined precision Swiss engineering with elegant styling, making them popular companions for travellers, diplomats and business professionals throughout the mid-twentieth century.
Today, vintage Memovox clocks remain highly sought after by collectors of fine Swiss horology.
