The 1968 Jaeger-LeCoultre E855 Memovox is a standout piece from the iconic Swiss watchmaker, combining sophisticated design with innovative functionality. Part of the legendary Memovox series, this watch represents a milestone in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s pursuit of perfection in alarm timepieces. The E855 model, distinguished by its water-resistant "Etanche" case, features a 37mm case size, ideal for those seeking a classic yet versatile wristwatch.

At the heart of the E855 is the automatic Calibre 825, the first-ever automatic alarm wristwatch to include a calendar complication. This groundbreaking movement is a bumper-automatic, meaning the oscillating weight moves back and forth between two springs, rather than completing a full 360-degree rotation. This distinctive feature contributes to the watch’s durability and unique mechanical charm.

The silver dial of the E855 is elegantly simple, with the signature alarm function clearly visible, while the acrylic crystal adds a touch of vintage flair. Known for its distinctiveness and reliability, the Memovox E855 is a true collector's item, representing Jaeger-LeCoultre's mastery of both technical innovation and timeless design. Whether you're an enthusiast of vintage timepieces or simply appreciate fine Swiss horology, the 1968 Jaeger-LeCoultre E855 offers an exceptional blend of style, history, and engineering.
