The Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox is one of the most celebrated mechanical alarm watches ever produced. Introduced in the post-war period, the Memovox became famous for its practical alarm complication and distinctive dual-crown design. Early automatic Memovox models are especially appreciated by collectors, as they represent an important stage in the development of self-winding alarm wristwatches.

The E861 Memovox GT belongs to the later vintage Memovox family and is valued for its distinctive case design, mechanical alarm function and connection to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s important alarm watch history.
