This watch took more research than any other watch I've ever owned! I'm not gonna lie - I love owning really rare watches, but the process to get a good understanding and be able to provide a quality detailed listing is a real pain sometimes! So I present to you a remarkably rare, short production run for the US market, LeCoultre Memovox with no reference number and 1 catalog appearance in 1969!
ref. "Beau Brummel Q"
c. 1969

JB Champion Lecoultre signed 10k gold-filled (center links) and steel bracelet, bracelet date stamp is May 1970
Bracelet fits up to 7.1 inch wrist nicely
original signed crowns, top for the alarm and bottom for the time
alarm works perfectly
signed calibre 911 manual wind
full service June 2026
Thank you to Blomman@PuristSPro, blommanwatchreport (IG), and watchprosite/jaeger-lecoultre/vintage-ads-the-series for all the super detailed information!
Lastly, I have no idea why Beau Brummel the British fancy pants socialite this is seemingly named after spells his name with two L's but LeCoultre went with just 1. Please let me know if you know!
