1940s LeCoultre Memovox Alarm (Ref. 3041) Cal. K814
This LeCoultre Memovox Ref 3041 is a product of its era, with modest size, wonderful gold filled case, and legible Arabic numerals on the dial. LeCoultre is universally known for its excellent alarm watches and in-house movements. The double-crown feature allows for winding and setting the time, as well as setting the alarm. The top crown sets the alarm complication of the timepiece. The alarm sound is both deep and noticeable, which is a key feature of the manual cal. K814 movement.
This LeCoultre Ref. 3041 is whimsically functional and doubles as excellent dress pieces that suit today's fashion perfectly. This piece would make a great addition to an existing collection and be a great and classic timepiece as a stand-alone piece!

CASE & BRACELET
Due to the overall excellent condition and age of the watch, it is believed the case has been replated with 10k yellow gold and shows very little signs of use and no fading to the plating. The case retains its original twin crowns signed with the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo. The "10K Gold Filled" designation is still visible on the back, though slightly worn. The watch will come supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The non-luminous silver sunburst two-dial design of the Memovox is represented beautifully in the watch. The dial remains silver but has achieved a satisfying warm through age, and there are some spots on the inner rotating dial from age. The gold markers and hands all remain in excellent and original condition.
ACCESSORIES
None. The alarm functions perfectly and the watch is keeping time. The watch was recently service and is backed by a 1-year warranty on accurate timekeeping.
