Sure, Analog:Shift is a business built around the love of watches — mostly mechanical watches. But, in essence, it’s our love for timepieces and timekeeping in general that are the common themes throughout the items we procure. And that includes the love of clocks in general: pocket watches, travel clocks, and more.

After all, in the couple hundred years before the First World War, personal timekeeping was all about the pocket watch, and before that, it was larger clocks that were front and center, horologically. We still believe a good clock — such as a classic travel model from the 1920s or 1930s — has a place in the watch lover’s collection.

This particular timepiece is a Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox travel alarm clock from the 1950s. Housed in a 50mm x 60mm yellow gold case with an acrylic crystal, dual signed, yellow gold crowns, and a grooved, yellow gold bezel, it features a sunburst champagne quadrant dial with lumed ‘sword’ hands. 

The clock is fitted to a foldable, burgundy-colored leather case that’s survived many decades in excellent condition. If you’re familiar with the legendary Memovox line of alarm-equipped wristwatches, you’ll love the larger format of this beautiful timepiece!
