Our opinion:
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox, with its revolutionary alarm function, was first introduced in 1949 and evolved over the next few decades. The example you see here was released around 1965, and features the caliber 825 automatic bumper movement (with date) in a brushed-steel, tonneau-form case. This example is one of the more experimental case shapes designed by Jaeger, and this watch is not often found in such good condition and specially not with it’s original box and warranty papers.
This example was originally purchased in Portugal in January 1978 and also features the well known Portuguese import hallmark between the crowns.
Condition is very good, all original and all functions working properly. Recently serviced.
