Two WorldTimers from the 1950s – Tissot Navigator and JLC Memovox International
Friends, Here is a duo shot of two early wrist watch WorldTimers: The Tissot Navigator and the JaegerLeCoultre Memovox International. While the Tissot is an “automatic” WorldTimer, the JLC is a “manual” WorldTimer but in addition it has the alarm feature....
Great travel duo
You\'d need another, more exotic map location, though As far as I know, the Memovox is a semi world timer, right? Or can the city disc rotate independently of the alarm?
What could be more exotic than La Chaux-de-Fond for a watch lover?! ;)
You "fake" the WorldTime by rotating the inner/alarm disk... So, no the WT and alarm is one and the same. Best Blomman
But that would be 'home' for the watches... :)
Thanks for clarifying, as I thought. Does not make it less appealing, though.
Well, technically, the Tissot is a true World Time, while the Jaeger is not.
The Jaeger Lecoultre misses a 24 hours ring to pretend belonging to the world time category. Still, I would love to find this one. That is a superb duo you were able to find! Bravo. Best, Blomman. Nicolas
Well, 24 time zones are represented on the dial...
But only divided in 12 sections. Another JLC that should be in any "serious vintage JLC collection"..?! Best Blomman
Two handsome!
Those are a really good watches. Actually Im trying to find a tissot navigator but I just can\'t find one in good condition, right now I hope to have a good deal with the jlc memovox too. You have two beautiful master pieces, congratulations. Regards Alex...
Thank you, Alex!
Hope you find yours soon. If you ever find a Memovox International, please make sure to post it here! Best Blomman
