Two years later, Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the first Memovox with the Worldtime function in its centre and the first Memovox Parking, which sounded an alarm to remind its owner when it was time to feed the parking meter.
These days we have iPhones for such things but if want a great piece of mid-century design on your wrist it is hard to go past this.
