Condition: Watches with alarm complications are an interesting part of watchmaking. Whether it is the Memovox from Jaeger LeCoultre, the Cricket from Vulcain, or this reference 7742 from Girard Perregaux, these watches were used to notify the wearer of a moment in time. The watch dates to the 1960’s and has a stainless steel, 34mm case. The case is in good condition, with bevels still visible on the lugs, but likely has been lightly polished. The dial is a patina-nerd’s dream - the dial has aged to a golden brown tone. The alarm crown located at 2 o’clock is original and the crown at 4 o’clock has likely been replaced. The watch houses the caliber 11-09 manual wind alarm movement.

The watch does not come with box and papers.
