The Mark 11 will face the same problem than the Geophysic.
But a TT Futurematic.... Hmmmm!

Very stimulating post !.. Makes one think.. These only for aficionados, as the series mostly are rather small ?.. On the other hand..

.. pieces such as the Reverso Tributes, incl the colored ones, are parts of a series, a family, strong enough, to be for themselves.. Well, the edition of a black TD, as mentioned by you, might also be accepted well. Finally any sort of WT, maybe includin...
Be careful with the TT line...

Thanks Nicolas for your post. It would indeed be time for JLC to reflect on what they wish to do with the TT line. I was excited when the TT Polaris and TT reverso 1931 were released, because I had - naïvely, probably - the impression that JLC was somehow...

Well, that's the point...

since the Futurematic was all about the movement, I doubt we'd see a revolutionary movement (but you never know). But if you take a reliable 899 and use correctors for the time (and date?), and price it at about $9k, people would love it! But I would keep...
Yes, it's conceivable, but...

the proportions of the original version are not the same, and thus wouldn't fit everyone's taste. So, I think an "ode to Futurematic" or something like that, not an actual repro would be best. And it would drive the price of the original up (not a bad thi...
