Dear ZAF, Actually, I don't have one, but two Memovox 601 (plus a spare dial...) I'm glad that finally JLC did admit producing them (and would love to know more...) I have read somewhere that you are working on a book on JLC, right ? If I can be of any help for the Memovox part, it would be a pleasure (I have like 1000+ eBay auctions saved on my hard disk, and also recently a decent photographing capacity for my own models...). Here are my 601 on the right of this very lousy picture (I promise to re-shoot them sometime), as well as older photos      | |

BTW, The 601 appears in one of my books on watches (a general book on watches), see this picture of my spare 601 dial ON the book (the watch is in the book)  | |

Yes, I am working on a JLC book...about 60% done. Do you have that advertisement in hi res? It would be a nice addition...are you in Paris? I visit several times a year. | |

I am indeed in Paris, and it would be a pleasure to meet you. I don't have the add in the picture, it is only a reproduction of the add which serves as background for the watch which is itself a picture in the book (if you follow me ! ). However, I have 3 original JLC ads which could be of use (but you probably already have them) | |

Do you which book that advertisement is in? I'll likely be in Paris next time in Sept. | |

The book is called "l'encyclop�die des montres", by Constantin Parvulesco. It covers very high-end watches from the past (lot of Breguet pocket watches, marine chronometers etc...) as well as their recent descendance (modern Breguet, Blancpain, British masters...). Not a very exhaustive book although pictures of old breguets are quite interesting. I don't have it with me now, so can't give you more details on the specific pages with memovoxes... I would be pleased to meet you in September (I met Ilja once in the past, Hi Ilja !)  | |
