Throwback Thursday – 1957: Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic
Remember when Apple released their first computer without a Floppy drive? The iMac! That was scary! Imagine back in the early 1950s when Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the Futurematic … No winding button! That must have been even more scary! A genius watch w...

No internet then, few modems, little email made floppy necessary “Old guy remembering”
One more from deep dungeon ;)
Amazing watch and documents I really enjoy this throwback Thursdays Keep on! Cheers D
As long as we will have new Thursdays...
I will try to continue! My material bank is stocked! Best Blomman
May Jaeger-LeCoultre make a new iteration one day 🙏
They were all so cool and so “JLC advanced research” 😉 Thank you Blomman for sharing these ads with us. Best wishes Alkiro
Very nice - looks in superb condition

Interesting analogy!
Especially since that bizarre looking iMac was pivotal for the brand as it became the best selling computer in history and began Apple's climb to dominance!

Indeed very unique!
To find a big size version in good condition is not impossible... Hope you will get to see the Futurematic one day - a very interesting experience... Either you love it or you ... Best Blomman

Thinking of it, I think the 'futuristic' futurematic logo only ever appeared on the porthole
I don't remember ever seeing the arrow-stylized-f futurematic on any dial other than the porthole (and I have seen quite a few ! )
