Looking for something a little different? Look no further than this stunning Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic. This vintage JLC is not only gorgeous to behold but also contains a fascinating story.

Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Futurematic in 1953 with development reported to have begun around 1951. This was a time when the watch industry was experiencing a period of rapid innovation and technological advancement.

The Futurematic was the world's first watch without a crown for winding the, instead a flat crown on the case back was used solely for setting the time. It was also one of the first automatic watches to feature a power reserve indicator, which allowed wearers to easily monitor how much energy was left in the watch's mainspring. This was a significant development at the time, as it helped to address one of the biggest challenges facing automatic watches - namely, their tendency to lose accuracy as their power reserves dwindled.

Over the years, the Futurematic was offered with numerous case and dial designs. Crafted with a 35mm 10k gold filled and stunning black dial, this example of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic is a stunning addition to any collection. The sleek black dial features elegant gold hour markers and hands (complete with gorgeous lume), creating a striking contrast that catches the eye. You'll also notice the name on the dial is printed Le Coultre in place of the full Jaeger LeCoultre, a sign this watch would have originally been for the US market.

It's hard to capture the full essence of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic. But suffice it to say this is one special watch! Whether you're a collector or simply looking for your first vintage watch, this Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic is the perfect choice. So why wait?
