A wristwatch with an alarm that rings with a small hammer in the case.

Memovox means voice of memory. The watch rang to remind its wearer of an appointment, and the self-winding version of 1956 was the first with an alarm. A diver's version, the Polaris, came in 1968.

Materials: Steel or gold; alarm movement

Manufacture: Made in Le Sentier; the self-winding version came in 1956.

The inner ring with a hand for the alarm time.

Two crowns, one for the time and one for the alarm.
