Vintage JLC Memovox
"The voice of memory" is truly a work of art. Widely regarded as the first automatic watch with an alarm, this JLC has caught my attention (pun intended). What do you folks think?

Absolutely stunning!!!
That’s something you don’t see every day. If you like I’d say go for it. It does seem to wear large, but that could be the angle.
Thanks for sharing.
I love dual crowned JLC, owning one by my self ;)
However this Memovox function is so stunning and amazing! You can hear and feel it. I tried one of the modern at my AD, if it was not that thick (to thick for my tiny wrist). I would have taken it.

Yes, superb watch, but in the photo at least it looks too big for your wrist.

Thanks, it really is!

It is indeed quite large for my wrist so I am reconsidering the purchase :/

Looks pretty neat on your wrist and does wear large( at least to my eyes)! Memovox was something that I did not know about until I stumbled upon this piece. The chimes, oh boy!❤

True, which is why I may not go for this one. Had it been a tad bit smaller, it would be on my collection by now. Always better to try them out cos pictures on the internet don't do justice.
I consider it a poor persons' Minute Repeater. Even found a bracelet for it. Here's mine
