Notes
Introduced in the late 1960s, the Ref. E861 “Memovox GT”, short for Grand Touring stands as one of the most distinctive expressions of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s famed alarm wristwatch line. Combining sleek sport-inspired design with mechanical ingenuity, it captures the spirit of an era defined by modernity and motion.
The present example features a brushed silver dial with contrasting black chapter ring, applied indexes, and two crowns for setting the time and alarm function. Its tonneau-shaped case, both dynamic and elegant, reflects the aesthetic experimentation that marked the brand’s designs of the period.
Powered by the automatic calibre 916, the first high-frequency alarm movement by Jaeger-LeCoultre, the Memovox GT epitomizes the maison’s mastery of technical innovation and style, a true icon of functional sophistication.
