A number of sellers are passing off Memovox with Gubelin parts as Ipsovox. :-|

The genuine Ipsovox is not signed by JLC except on the crowns. Case, dial and movement should all be signed 'Gubelin'. ;-)

Hi Jim -

Thanks for the information.

I must admit I'm not all that conversant on exact details of either Gübelin or JLC, other than to know that they are persuable collector items...

Regards,

JohnF

No problem, John. Happy to share info. ;-)

BTW, luv your avitar - scares me half to death - like something out of a Dali Painting B-)

Hi -

It's what my two teenage girls call "The Papa Look", which means that they've just tried to pull a fast one yet again...

Took it with my cell phone's camera self portrait mode (Motorola Razr), sharpened it up in IrfanView and resized it to meet the Avatar requirements.

:-)

Nice watch, thanks for the info. I didn't know that JLC wrist alarm calibres were sold to other makers (apart from the IWC ones in the nineties).

Hartmut RichterGubelin is a jeweler and rebadged a number of makers products. Their association with JLC went back to the 1930s when they rebadged the earliest Reversos.
