1960s LeCoultre Memovox 'Tuxedo' Dial World Timer Cal. 911 34mm
Here we have a beautifully appointed, rare 1960s LeCoultre Memovox 'Tuxedo' Dial World Timer Cal. K911. Introduced in 1950, it was originally called the “Wrist Alarm” but was later changed to “Memovox” for the 1950 Basel watch fair. The name in Latin means “Memor” (Remember) and “Vox” (Memory), a clever play on words. It was a direct competitor of the 1949 Vulcain Cricket Alarm. A 34mm stainless steel round case sits comfortably on your wrist thanks to the tapered, angled lugs, and the curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 37.5mm and a case thickness of 10mm. On the right side, we have a coin-edge signed crown at two o’clock to rotate the alarm disc and wind the alarm and a coin-edged signed crown at four o'clock to adjust the time. A smooth bezel holds a domed crystal above a striking black and silver domed ‘Tuxedo’ dial. Applied polished steel Roman numerals mark the hours surrounding an inner minute track with Tritium pips at the hour. The inner rotating disc incorporates a ring of worldtimer cities and an Alarm with a helpful arrow showing where it is set; steel Dauphine's hands filled with Tritium are complemented by a tapered second hand. At 3 o’clock, we have a framed date window. At 12 o’clock, we have the Memovox motif, completing this striking Worldtimer Alarm timepiece. On the reverse, a solid case back, inside a Manually Wound LeCoultre Cal. K911, 17 jewels, beating at a leisurely 19,800 beats per hour, the alarm hammer makes a distinctive buzzing sound, double barrel (time and Alarm), and the ‘K’ designates the Kif shock protection system. This incredible movement was launched in 1965. It comes paired with a quick-release 19mm leather strap, plus a 20mm black leather JLC strap that was squeezed on in the original LeCoultre box.
