Vintage LeCoultre Memovox Wrist Alarm 3151

A vintage LeCoultre Memovox Ref. 3151 from the 1950s, powered by the manual-wind Caliber 489/1 mechanical alarm movement. Housed in a gold-filled case, this classic two-crown design features a striking black and gold-tone dial with no date complication, preserving its clean mid-century aesthetic. The mechanical alarm produces the distinctive vintage Memovox buzz that defined Jaeger-LeCoultre’s pioneering wrist alarm watches. A refined and highly collectible example of early Memovox craftsmanship from the golden era of Swiss watchmaking.

LeCoultre: Dating back to 1833, LeCoultre was founded in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland and quickly became one of the most important producers of watch movements. The company supplied calibers to many prestigious brands and later partnered with French inventor Edmond Jaeger, forming Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1937. Due to tariff restrictions, watches destined for the American market were branded simply as LeCoultre until 1985. Today, Jaeger-LeCoultre is widely regarded as one of the finest Swiss watchmakers, known for its elegant and technically accomplished timepieces.
