A little something I have been sliding under my sleeve for some time now…

I would like to present one of my latest acquisitions;

This is a watch I have been very intrigued by for a long time.

Haven’t seen it in the metal many times and when I did it often been in a very bad condition…

At my trip to JLC I had the chance to have a closer look at one they had restored.

I realized how beautiful and well proportioned it really is!

The three dimensional and well balanced bezel, the plexi doom and rounded delicate lugs…

A Blomman must have watch!!!

Research…, hunt…, and BING!

Actually, the hunt was over before I really stated!

Almost a little disappointing, for me the hunt is a part of the fun, but this one was to good to pass…

The one I found has recently been to JLC for SPA treatment.

As you might see in the photos, the case has been polished.

Most visible on the lugs, they are thinner and rounder then original.

But IMO it is very nicely done, so I don’t mind.

After wearing the watch for some time now, I must say that it a winner!

It’s SOOO comfortable on the wrist.

Whit help from PuristS friends I was also able to get the box.

Friends, thank you very much!

So, here she is in her new home;

The JLC Futurmatic!

The absence of the crown makes the watch look very symmetric and well balanced.

Also makes it very comfortable to wear!  

The Silhouette;

The “ SLIDE DO NOT LIFT “

The Power reserve.

The Logo.

The Sub-seconds.

And finally, the Wrist shot;

Best
