Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox International with… a table stand!

The new limited edition Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox International automatic alarm watch may be shipped with a bespoke table stand similar to that that accompanied the first Memovox models.

Now, we all got used to watchmakers offering their new pieces with humidor-styled wooden presentation boxes and accompanying them with scale models of fighter planes, yachts, cars, you name it. But, a table stand?

Well, if things will progress in this direction, we will soon see new luxury timepieces sold with free watch winder safes with electronic locks, integrated alarm systems and all that stuff.

To our sheep, though.

According to the Swiss company, the stand does not only provide the beautiful watch with a gorgeous pedestal, it also makes its alarm signal a lot louder: it is known that a great deal of Memovox owners do not hear the alarm when they sleep, making the whole idea of an automatic alarm watch kind of self-defeating.

Regrettably, the table stand must be ordered separately at a hefty price of €1000 significantly adding to the €8250 of the stainless steel watch. Buying it with a €16,100 rose gold version seems a better deal.

As to the watch itself, it will be almost identical to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Memovox alarm watch we have reported on Monday but will have its central dial marked with 24 cities of the world ranging from Moscow to Paris to Dhaka to Sydney just to name a few. Frankly speaking, I still cant grasp the practical purpose of this.
