Yours is the regular / handwound model. The Jubilee is the exclusive 18k automatic one with the triangle logo

Dec 19, 2023,15:38 PM
 

There were 2 different model. The jubilee model, 18k automatic one with the triangle logo / limited to 350 ref 141.016, launched in 1986 :
(note that at the time they considered the birth year of the Memovox to be 1951, not 1950)





and a non-jubilee, non-automatic one, with the big JL / memovox logo ref 141.012 (which I believe was introduced earlier, in 1983 or 4, based on cal 911 :
(yours is this latter model)

hi JLC Memeovox fans out there, if you still remember there was "a post posted by Clavi" early this year, he responded an earlier thread posted Nico about Jaeger LeCoultre true Jubile 150th anniversary of 1983. From Clavi's post, it mentioned that there w...  

A very important catch for a Memovox Collector like you or like Blomman.

I already see Blomman biting his lip when discovering your post. A rare bird, indeed. Not my favourite, but a must have, definitely. Bravo, my friend. Best, Nicolas

thanks a lot, my friend :-)

... honestly, two reasons why I went for this watch catch because 1) it is indeed very rare, 2) if follows through the Memovox history and its development from the first Memovox till modern one, this watch can be considered to fall between vintage and mod... 

Dear Stefan, please let me start with...

Huge congratulation to a very rare find! :) You move fast, my friend! :) The 150 Jubilé and Memovox has always puzzled me a bit... Why? Because of this catalogue: 1) The case back logo is not the one in Clavi's post. Instead a "pyramid", triangle that I d...  

Did you really think I would NOT have anything on the Jubilé...?! ;)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : September 30th, 2013-11:58
Come on, my friend! You know me better than that... ;) Best Blomman

Same for me...

But, a Jubilé is a Jubilé! And Jaeger is Jaeger... So, of course I need to try to find info on the 1983 as well... Best Blomman

Well, the Jubilé 2008 was not very interesting, to say all...

 
 By: amanico : September 30th, 2013-13:06
I still think that there are better Jubilé than others... ;) Best, Nicolas

thanks indeed, Blomman...

.... re: caseback logo i do not have answer either, wish other experts, like Clavi could chip in for further inputs here. but i guess the quick explanation would be only the gold model (entire watch in gold, case top and back) has that "pyramid" triangle ... 

Oh, one more thing...

Did you get it with box and/or buckle? Best Blomman

Stefan, do the buckle look like this?

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 5th, 2013-10:59
From my understanding, this is the type of buckle JLC used during the 80's. And, my friend - you are in luck! I have a box for you... Maybe it look like moste boxes on the outside... But have a look inside... Have a closer look! :) PM me, my friend! :) Be...  

Blomman, you really drive me crazy...

 
 By: FanFrancisco : October 6th, 2013-09:14
... wowow this box can really fit to my watch, you really drive me crazy, my friend :-) regarding to the buckle, after seeing yours that is in gold, my is correct that is in stainless steel. i also took some more pics of my watch, including the case back ...  

Thank you for the extra pics!

Hi, For my first post, I have a question about my Memovox. Engraving says 141.012.5, supposed to be a limited edition for the 150 anniversary... But the more I read about it, the more I see different versions (2 types of backs). Is there anybody who can h...
