Friends, You all know my fascination of alarm watches and the Memovox in particular. So naturally I must have a vintage GP alarm in my collection! Here you have my first Girard-Perregaux alarm, the reference 9091 FG. I write my first since I suspect thi...  

That had to happen. You had to have one.

I prefer the round cased ones, to tell the truth, but I suspect it will not be your only one. ;) Very interesting catch. Bravo, my friend, Bravo. Nicolas

Yes, this was written in the stars from day one...! ;)

Yes, the round once are more classic, but smaller in size. I find this one very interesting, but I have to confess that the movement is less sophisticated compared to the manual Memovox movements... Thank you, my friend Best Blomman

Yes.. and Yes! ;) [nt]

a vintage alarm is probably not at the top of my hunt list, but I could imagine to add one as well, ideally one with the salmon dial. CC

Yes, the Salomon dial is really nice! :)

That's very cool "Blomman", I had never seen your version of the GP Alarm. Many years back I started out my collection with "alarm-watches" as 1) I was fascinated by this feature of mechanical wrist alarm, 2) I was able to get some of these even with my t...  

Very nice Alarm watch, HSTE! :)

......as I then started to move into rare Omega Speedys, followed by "Military" of different brands, supplemented by design icons (AP, PP, IWC etc.), adding technical innovation milestones (Tissot research, first gen. Pulsar, Omega "La Magique") Anyway, ...  

Never seen the Farmont before...

Very nice line up of Alarm watches! :) The Omega Memomatic has been on my hunt list for a long time now, but never been able to pull the trigger on a good piece... Thank you for sharing your great collection! Best Blomman
