Jaeger-LeCoultre

One of the icons, from the Grande Maison, along with the Memovox, the Reverso, the Geophysic and a few others. The Futurematic has an elegant, very elegant case, in this reference ( There were several references, among the Lecoultre and Jaeger Lecoultre v...  

Almost impossible to find this exact model I don't know how many have been produced Many have been produced with red paint - but this dial is just a splendor!

That is why I made the Financial effort to get it... A bit more than 6 years ago.... And the profile of this case is just somptuous. Thanks for your kind words. Nicolas.

I wish they made special watches like this one today, a watch without a crown protruding on the side to dig into the wrists is special and nice for sure.

To know if the crown, located on the case back, was a comfort issue, or not... You don't even feel it! Oh yes, a Futurematic, but with a modern design, would be great.... I would not like to see a Tribute of this Watch. What? Did you say Ulysse Nardin Fre... 

Thanks for all these beauties you share with us! Happy Monday Amico!!! massi

.. you were mentioning the Ref E507 with Portholes, thanks to a very, very good friend (!) I can return the greetings with mine. Found me in Paris (around 2011), within short but faboulos stretch of days with nice comraderie, chats about watches, good dri...  

While mine plays in a more classic register. The cases, too ,are different. Yours is one millimeter bigger, more macho. More coherent with this dial. Both are terrific. Here a side by side picture of the " two friends ". Best, HS. Nicolas ...

.. that you talk about thinking of the pair : I also have been looking " non-stressed" for a sample with the 2 dials, such as yours, but I haven't near seen any having the dial & condition, like ours two.. Also, I 'm always a bit concerned, in case they w... 

Why not trying to hunt, at least the two nicest configurations? You are right about the issue of the service, in the case of the Futurematic. But there is always the Manufacture solution, and I think I know one or two good Watchmakers in Paris who can tak... 

.. Yes as simple as that : -- a great watch.. in a great City ! THAT is then the right terrior !!.. Paris, Future and .. Dr Mamadu Best, hs ...  

I also have one of each: Here's a movement shot of the cal. 817: I have always thought of these as similar to the Mazda Rotary engine. It has the same function as a conventional piston engine, just does things a bit differently. Take care, gatorcpa ...  

Thanks, Gatorcpa. I love your metaphore with the Mazda engine! ;) Best, Nicolas
