Sorry I do not, any reason it wouldn't be any different than a normal 814? | ||

Hi Zaf: I just know so very little about this movement I had to ask in case the position of the crowns at 12 vs 3 made any difference. Do you know where I get instructions for a cal 814 please? Best, Elias | ||

I have a LeCoultre manual wind alarm with box & papers. I could scan these for you. It's for a 910, but the instructions would be the same. | ||

Why would you think the position of the crowns relative to the dial would make any difference in the operation? It is the exact same movement as used in the Memovox wrist watches. Only the dial is different (different dial feet location). | ||

Zaf: Please do - I would greatly appreciate it. Greg: My comment is based on my own admitted complete and utter unfamiliarity with the Memovox watches and their movt's. I've never handled one until I acquired this example. | ||

Instructions for using the Memovox: The upper crown winds and sets the alarm. To operate the alarm, wind the crown to power it. Then, pull out the crown to turn the inner dial to the time you want the alarm to ring. Push the crown back in when the alarm time is set. When the alarm goes off, the top crown can be pulled out to stop the alarm before it runs out of energy. The bottom crown sets the time and winds the watch. Pull out the crown to set the time. Push in the crown and wind to power the watch. | ||

THANK YOU!! I just tried your instructions and noted that the inner dial can only be rotated in a counter-clockwise direction. Is this normal? | ||

Yes, it is normal/correct for the alarm disk to rotate only in one direction. | ||
