Jaeger Lecoultre Futurematic E 501. A photo of one of the Manufacture's icon.

 

In my opinion, one of the Top Five Icons from Jaeger Lecoultre, the Futurematic. 








Pure, Classic, original, balanced, this watch has everything. 

Best,

Nicolas

Yes, it is said that this is one of these watches which costed a lot of money to Jaeger Lecoultre, due to its complexity.

Great photo of a cool watch

Yes I know I'm biased! With you on it being an icon for the brand, one that would be interesting if they did a re issue. Cheers JML

That would be interesting and challenging, indeed. Yes!

This dial epitomizes symmetry!

School me and the mechanics and how this is wound

symmetry is near to perfect, but also depending from the power reserve and what time it is - you have a variety of "dial faces" - regards Stephan

Yes, right, my friend!

No crown to wind the movement. Just a crown to set the time.

 
By: amanico : February 14th, 2022-16:40
Here is the crown: The trick? There is always a small power reserve available. Once you put it on your wrist, it starts. ...  

to wind the movement - shake the watch, than after some time at power reserve maximum you notice something that make you feel, that you destroid the watch...

Here just as a little chip in, greetings with my own one, Ref E 502, the Porthole, which you know quite well.. Futurematic Porthole, E 502 it‘s a very fine watch indeed. - A chapter what JLC could do and still can; just know it‘s difficult to service this...  

Aaaah, the Porthole, indeed! It was a great one.
