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