Additional Information
Despite the massive case, the alarm buzz is clear and easily audible, quite a feat given its large size. JLC achieves this by running the gong around the circumference of the movement, instead of attaching it to the caseback as in earlier Memovox alarm watches. This layout is more akin to a minute repeater than an alarm watch. Even when the alarm is at full wind, it can be deactivated simply by depressing the push piece around the 10 o'clock city crown. The acoustics within the case have been optimized to ensure a powerful and harmonious tone with consistently identical intensity and tone, whether the alarm watch is being worn or not.
Local hour and minute hands, trapeze-shaped gold-plated, openworked, luminescent.
Crown at 2 controls the alarm function and rapid date correction in counter clockwise direction. Crown at 4 starts the watch, adjusts time; crown equipped with a compression key. Crown at 10 to display world time, Double-sided push-piece at 10 to start/stop the alarm.
About Jaeger-LeCoultre
Since 1833, when the inventive Charles Antoine LeCoultre established this venerable watchmaker, it has produced some of the most outstanding and innovative timepieces. It wasn't until 1931, however, that the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand rose to international fame. It was then that the Reverso - an ingenious reversible watch - was unveiled to the public.

Two Year Warranty
We sell luxury timepieces at considerably lower prices than the manufacturers list price. Gemnation is not
an Authorized Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch Dealer and is not affiliated with Jaeger-LeCoultre. Authorized dealers are not permitted
to discount or sell watches on the Internet. For this reason, we choose not to be authorized watch dealers
for many of the brands that we sell.
Since we are not authorized dealers for many of the watch manufacturers, we may be unable to ship the original
watch manufacturers warranty. In all cases, however, we provide a Two Year Gemnation Warranty (active from the
date of purchase).
Gemnation utilizes a full-time Swiss-trained watchmaker who is licensed and trained to repair every brand and
model of watch that we sell. If we can supply the original warranty we provide this information in the individual
watch description.
