Vintage Jaeger Lecoultre Powermatic, ref E 163.

From the early 50's, 37 mm steel case. Not the first automatic watch from JLC, but one of the first, with the Futurematic, to display a power reserve indicator. Quite cool! Best, Nicolas ...

40's and 50's were the golden years for JLC.

The power reserve is completely unexpected in a watch of this age, but looks great in the red.

Yes, not that common at that time... More common nowadays.

Yes! That's why I posted it, as we discussed bumpers, recently. ;)

It’s funny how the springs of the bumper

look very ordinary: we’re not used to see those kind of springs in a watch caliber anymore.

I find that system quite smart, and you really feel the noise, a kind " " doooong " when you move it. Pleasant and funny.

Very nice - & the power reserve is a bonus. This one almost has a more modern vibe being 37mm

There were smaller versions, but my favorite has always been the jumbo and its 37 mm case.
