Seen at the Jaeger Lecoultre Heritage Gallery: Futurematic Porthole E 502.

Apr 29, 2019,23:11 PM
 

The Futurematic is one of Jaeger Lecoultre's icons, indisputably. The Porthole version, ref 502, is very alluring with its futuristic signature and these 2 portholes, one for the power reserve, on the left, and the other for the seconds, on the right. 



And while we are at it, here is a second Futurematic, Ref E 501, I took in picture in Paris some years ago, with an unusual dial. 



Best,

Nicolas

but I would love to see a porthole Master ____ come out in the near future. The beauty of keeping the seconds and power reserve in subdials is that the watch could be made thin, but still automatic. -Dean

Just an iconic models - still under appreciated in my humble opinion
