A Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox from the Korean War: Here's One You Don't See Often

While Jaeger-LeCoultre has a rich story of watches continuous to military service, selected Memovox watches are generally perceived to have had a larger tie with a boardroom than a battlefield. However, currently for sale is an early Memovox which is engraved with: Presented By Officers of 6160th M & S Group Japan 53.

The seller states which this was from a United States Air Force Hospital Group involved with a Korean War. The Korean War ended with a Korean War Armistice Agreement in 1953, so it is possible which this watch may have been a present commemorating a finish of a war.

The lugs upon this Memovox positively accent a dial as well as a watch appears to be in nice condition. For some-more report upon this Memovox with ties to a Korean War, click here.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual 16124SQ Watch Available On James List

Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre expelled this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar (ref. 16124SQ) watch - as well as it still looks beautiful today. With an original cost of about $100,000 , there have been (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black 'frosted' transformation is amazing to demeanour at, but you'll have to forgive the pattern for creation we hunt the bit for all the report which we have available upon the dial. The transformation tone is essentially due to ruthenium, as well as there have been pure discs all over the dial. Set in the 41mm wide 18k pinkish bullion "Master" pick up case, the watch nicely mixes classical Jaeger-LeCoultre cultured with the visible seductiveness of the complicated style skeletonized movement.

Jaeger-LeCoultre knows which people wearing the watch will be primar
