The present example, ref. 146.6.95 Grande Memovox Master Control Perpetual Calendar, was released in the early 2000s as a limited edition of only 250 pieces. It is nothing short of a show-off from La Grande Maison. The watch combines arguably JLC’s two proudest complications: the perpetual calendar and the alarm, thanks to the in-house calibre 909/440 movement.
This is not a small watch at 41 mm, and it wears like it. However, if you have the wrist for it, it is simply a work of art.
