Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Memovox
This year, Jaeger-LeCoultre has decided to launch something for the latter group, celebrating the half-century of its legendary Memovox Polaris by not only creating a faithful reissue of the original, but also introducing a brand-new line-up of models to accompany it. A simple automatic three-hander, a three-hander with date, a chronograph and a chronograph world-timer, join the most vintage-inspired model: the Polaris Memovox.
The watch is powered by the Calibre 956, JLC’s first automatic movement with alarm function. At the desired time, hammers hit a metal gong that is fixed to the inside of the solid caseback. As a reminder of the watch’s primary function, the caseback features an engraving of a scuba diver. Just 1,000 pieces will be made, each selling for £12,900.
