AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Two-tone Jaeger Memovox “Space Age” desk clock (1960s), in working condition

Aimed at vintage watch collectors and Mid-Century design enthusiasts, I am offering this magnificent and rare Jaeger Memovox desk/table clock for sale, a true icon of the “Space Age” era dating from the 1960s.
This model stands out for its futuristic design and highly sought-after configuration, considerably rarer than the classic all-brass versions:
• Case: Gilded brass “UFO” / pebble-style case, with a superb two-tone lacquer finish around its edge in red (burgundy/Chinese red) and deep black.
• Base: Elegantly rests on two tapered, pointed cone-shaped feet, specific to this version.
• Dial: Black rotating central dial with its gold triangular pointer, characteristic of the Memovox alarm movement, protected beneath its original domed plexiglass crystal (“porthole”).
Mechanical condition: Excellent & fully functional
• The mechanical movement (8-day power reserve) has been restarted: it ticks perfectly •
• The alarm function is fully operational and emits its distinctive rapid metallic buzzing sound.
• The winding keys and knobs on the back are original and turn smoothly.

Cosmetic condition:

In lovely vintage condition, with slight signs of age on the lacquer, visible in the photos, which add to its authentic charm.
A piece of fine Swiss watchmaking and high-end décor, now very hard to find in this functional two-tone, two-legged version.
The photos are part of the description.
It belonged to my late uncle.
