Friends, many of you here may know about one of my main focus points
in collecting, the JLC Memovox series.
And that is pertinent to Vintage as well as to the modern models.
The last introduction by JLC, in the late months, centered on a new Master
series model, however with some distinct DNA from the 70ies, the times when a very
specific model, the Snowdrop E877 was flourishing.
I had ordered this new model, pretty much based on first released information about it
in late September 2016 and have been very much looking forward to the delivery,
which initially was scheduled before New Year, still in 2016.
But as this MMV is a Boutique Edition, delivery was a bit delayed initially.
This week now came the phone call from the Boutique, that my new
addition to my stables was ready for pickup. I had been really curious
how this new Memovox would be in the real, always an element
of some excitement, when a new piece is seen, is touched in the metal.
So, for here and as a start,I just wanted to share some few first pics
of my new Blue love.
The middle of this dial, a mid-blue inner disc with a solleille
brushing, catches the rays of light. - Really an amazing effect.
This is underlined by a darkblue circular margin on an opalline
surface and then the minuterie in grey-blue.

The whole design to me is that of a balanced beauty
but still of effortless charm, with some element
of sportiness. BTW, the strap made of dense textile
with blue stitching underlines this casual component.
Hope you liked these first impressions.
I do, a lot..
Best, hs
