A Week On The Wrist: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox
By now you're probably familiar with our A Week On The Wrist reviews, in which we offer a detailed look at the history and technical details of a watch while also explaining what it is like to actually wear the watch. But we know you're not only interested in modern watches, so this is the first of many future A Week On The Wrist reviews looking at vintage classics. To start things off, I took a trans-Atlantic trip with the original automatic alarm watch, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox. 2 OF 41 The Mechanical Alarm The mechanical alarm is an underrated complication. Today we almost all have smartphones of one make or another that can set dozens of alarms for different purposes, alert us to calendar events, and track dozens of appointments at once.

Hello , My name is Tristan and I live near Girona Spain, As watch and mainly Rolex lover I had been snooping around before but never got to join .

I know 5k is a decent amount of money to spend on only one watch but this is where I need your advice. I am a 35 year old engineer with a good fashion taste and very classy. I am a runner, diver and golfer. I like the fine things of life and pay a lots of attention to the brands name and the quality of the products.If I had 10k I would probably buy a IWC Portuguese Automatic or a Panarai 312. Looking forward to read your comments.Thanks,

Ordering online?
Hey guys, I'm in the market to buy a new watch so I'm leaning towards an IWC (In particular, the IWC spitfire chrono automatic.) [non-sponsor removed] has the watch for a good price so i was wondering if anyone has ordered form there.

Planet Ocean Replacement Crystal Price
