Calibre: K814
Calibre 814 was a manual winding alarm movement from Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Introduced in 1953, Calibre 814 joined Calibres 489 and 601 in the Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox range.
Essentially an improved version of Calibre 489, Cal. 814 would be produced until 1964.
The alarm hammer struck a protuberance on the back plate, making a distinctive buzzing sound. Even if the
alarm was not wound, the hammer rattled freely against the protuberance.
The watch comes with two crowns (both signed with the Memovox logo), one that sets and winds the watch, and
the other that sets and winds the alarm. It also comes with a fold out stand so you can place it on your
bedside nightstand, home office desk, or on a small table. To set the alarm, pull out the crown for the alarm
and turn it counterclockwise to the desired time. Then push the crown back in. To wind the alarm, make sure
the crown for the alarm is pushed in and then wind clockwise.
