More about Jaeger-LeCoultre:
2016 marks the 60th Anniversary of the automatic Memovox which was introduced in 1956. From 1956, JLC also produced automatic versions of the Memovox starting with the bumper cal 815 (from 1956-1966) which was a non-date & a date version as cal 825 (from 1959 to 1969).
The crown located at 2 winds the separate spring barrel for the alarm in the first position. In the second position, it sets the alarm when turned clockwise, and the date when turned counterclockwise. The lower crown winds the mainspring in the first position, and sets the time in the second position.
A beautiful example of classic watch at still an affordable price.
