Last week at SIHH 2010, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced two new Memovox automatic alarm watches. The Master Memovox and Master Memovox International. In 1956, Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the first automatic alarm movement, powered by Calibre 815. The latest generation of JLC's automatic alarm movement , Calibre 956, is based on this famous movement. The latest generation movement, however, is more accurate, reliable and robust. It now has a large free-sprung balance and a winding rotor on ceramic ball bearings that need no lubrication or maintenance. Its gear wheels have a new kind of tooth profile that ensures smoother transmission. Calibre 956 has a frequency of 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 45 hours. Finally, it is equipped with a rapid date-change mechanism. Press Release PDFRetail is TBDSource: Jaeger-LeCoultre

As the name implies it is thin with a 40mm case available in 18kt rose gold or in stainless steel. The crystal is sapphire, as is the display back and this amazing watch is water resistant to 50 meters. Movement is the automatic in-house JLC caliber 896 with 34 jewels, beating at 28,800 bph and with a power reserve of 43 hours. And going by the normal standards this time telling baby is real good. It is available with a stainless steel bracelet or in the gold model with an alligator strap and 18kt gold buckle. It's a steal! Source
