Paying homage to 150 years of Heritage in chiming watches and to the sounds of nature in Vallée de Joux , Jaeger-LeCoultre launches two new Master Control models redefined in the Memovox and featuring a new alarm-setting function and a new design.

The two watches; Master Control Memovox Timer and the Master Control Memovox is given a contemporary style while retaining the spirit of utility and charm of the originals. While the former incorporates a completely new alarm-setting mechanism, the latter features a singularly “clean-lined contemporary style” to the classic alarm-plus date model.

Both the watches feature the Manufacture's comprehensively revised automatic Caliber 956 with a transparent caseback. Allowing the wearer to enjoy watching the hammer in action required for the complete reinvention of the striking mechanism – a feat that was easily achieved by the Manufacture's engineers. Despite multiple changes, one aspect of the movement remains unchanged – the “ signature “school bell” sound of the alarm” which actually gives Memovox its unique charm.
