Circa 1950s.
Here is gorgeous 10K goldfilled Memovox wrist alarm watch from Jaeger LeCoultre. It is in great working order and is one of the earlier 1950's version of the alarm watch signed "Wrist Alarm" on the dial. The Wadsworth case is original and signed LECOULTRE 10K gold filled case 10K Goldfilled on the outer back with an elegant design and in overall very good shape. The two-tone "bull's eye" dial features a black outer ring and coral inner circle with an alarm arrow marker. With identical unsigned crowns and new acrylic crystal, the case only shows light scratches which is normal for watches of this age. The top crown winds and sets the alarm while the bottom crown winds and sets the time. Powering this watch is an unadjusted Swiss LeCoultre Co. 489/1 manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that has been cleaned, oiled, and timed for 24 hours. The watch runs strong and the alarm functions perfectly. The case measures approximately 34mm wide (excluding crown) x 36mm in overall length.
