The 2010 collections from Jaeger-LeCoultre stay true to the spirit of the brand:masterful mechanics inside, ergonomic comfort outside. This tradition is especially evident in an astronomical grande complication, the Extreme LAB 2, and a reinterpretation of the legendary Memovox.

The 2010 model to have won the heart of Stéphane Belmont, Director of Sales and Marketing at Jaeger-LeCoultre, is, without doubt, the Memovox which the Grande Maison is this year presenting in Master and Master Memovox International versions. Both these models commemorate a movement that originated in 1956. As Stéphane Belmont explains, “this is a fascinating watch in that hidden beneath its classically understated design is an alarm mechanism.You have to take time to observe it, to listen to the chimes to realise you are entering another dimension, be it part of the Master, Amvox or Classic range. Truly an icon of the brand, this movement is a fine example of our policy to integrate the very latest technologies whenever we present a new version of an established model. It can never be a question of superficial changes.”

And so this year Jaeger-LeCoultre celebrates its emblematic alarm watch.” A rare example of a movement that is still in production more than fifty years after its creation, it has contributed to the success of such iconic round watches of the Master Control line as the Master Grand Réveil and the Memovox Deep Sea.
