Dunhill Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Reference E855 On Gay Freres Bracelet Unpolished

This is the highly elusive and rare Dunhill Memovox E 855 sold in New York during the 1960s. Very few examples are known to exist. This example dates to circa late 1960s. We believe the case is unpolished. The case measures 37mm in diameter and wears excellent. The dial has a very sophisticated painted Breguet numerals and a blue dial which is super uncommon for the era.

The watch is powered by the calibre 825, the first automatic alarm wristwatch to incorporate the calendar complication. The movement is a bumper-automatic, which means it does not rotate a full 360 degrees. Instead, the oscillating weight will bounce back and forth between two spring sides within the movement.

Along with the Atmos clocks, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s advancements in alarm timepieces throughout the 20th century are certainly one of the most iconic genres from the Le Sentier manufacturer. Perhaps the quintessential Memovox is the reference E 855 from the 1960s. The reference’s “E” stands for Etanche, which indicates the case is a water-resistant model.

The watch does not come with box or papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well and keeping good time.
