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 the Petite Spinning seconds and the porthole power reserve.

Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute To ... A family with a future?
If you have the opportunity to visit the Heritage Gallery, and to dive into the rich Patrimony of our beloved brand, don't miss it. You will admire old movements, pocket watches, clocks and wristwatches from all eras. Some are Legends, such as The 1928 Gr...
Astonishing post
First of all thank you for showing us back of the 1928 Grande Complication pocket watch we usually see only face I must add that I really like your propositions for hommages and I think that some are already in pipeline ;) Best D
I wish there is some place for a Tribute of one of the suggestions, indeed.
I don't see JLC releasing another wirstwatch Tribute, for the moment... Best, and thanks for looking, Damjan. Nicolas
Beautiful photos Nicolas...
Shows the diversity of pieces produced by the Manufacture, all very spectacular in their own way.
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...
That is a good question, indeed. A tough one, even.
Not sure there is a black or white answer. When I think about the Deep Sea Alarm, I would think that without its re edition, it would never have been as famous as it is nowadays. It always lived in the shadow of the Polaris. Now, it has its own glory. Pay...
+1 on all you said !.. And true? the marvelous DSA got its fame, very much through the TT-sister !
Anyhow, I really do love all mine: TT Polaris 68, 2x DSA, TTR 1931 and TT Geophysic A lot to enjoy ! Best, my friend ! hs
Okay. Mark 11 or weems. With manual wind movement.
i love both these watches, and the manual movement could be used in another TT geophysic
I would love to see a TT .....
Futurmatic! :) Still in a moderate size, 38 - 39 mm. Porthole? Fully automatic, no crown to wind, only to set time. Best Blomman
Thanks for reading, Fernando. So, don't you have one in your heart you would like to see
re edited? Best, Nicolas
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...
A TT Line should be a call for caution and moderation
First, thank you Nicolas for this great overview and an intro to future possibilities. I am with Karmin, that a TT Line should be exercised with caution and greater care. Now, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the "Tributes" have been the...
When reading such a feedback, I am quite happy to have launched such a thread.
I don't think the new CEO is planning other Tributes. I would rather prefer to see the Grande Maison improving the finishings and some détails, as well as the service of their watches. We'll see... Best, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on that matter...
Yes, JLC should avoid the trap of the next which is too much ". The TT Futurematic, if
Faithful to the original, would not be in this case, I think... Nice feedaback, Karmin. I feel we are in agreement, here. Best, Nicolas
Treasures
A lot of JLC treasures in this post:-) I hope JLC will make re-edition or TT from their treasures:-) Futurmatic or Mark 11 will be good start for next year:-) Regards, Ronald
The Mark 11 will face the same problem than the Geophysic.
But a TT Futurematic.... Hmmmm! Best, Nicolas
Plain and simple...
Having this idea for over decade now. A bridge betweet past and present, between the good old glory of 'watchmakers watch' and todays demand and technical advances without forgetting the brand's icon roots. Plain and simple: A antimagnetic Reverso having ...
Real and significant historical background is something not that frequent
JLC has some heavy stuff in that field. Thanks for sharing that wide choice. Cheers, Mark
Of the ones mentioned...
I think the Futurematic "Porthole" version is the nicest, but I'd love to see it in a 40mm version. I also think that instead of a setting mechanism on the back of the watch, 2 correctors (3, if a date is included) could be placed at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clo...
But a Futurematic is mandatorily with a hidden crown!
Now a hidden crown concept, with something modern, could well do it as well! Best, and thanks for your input, Dean. Nicolas
This would be amazing and BEAUTIFUL.
Dreams can come true with JLC. Something modern with a hidden crown and a little 'Concept' thrown in there .... I wonder what the price point would be?
I doubt JLC will release it, at least in a close future.
But who knows? Maybe they will change their mind? And if not, you still have the vintage! Best, Nicolas
Well, that's the point...

Don't you think that at this price point, and for even less, people won't hunt the
Original, instead? Best, Nicolas
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...
Well, the Porthole 37 mm is enough, don't you think?
With its dial aperture, it looks like a good 38 / 39 mm case. Best, Nicolas
One more to add...
Grande Complication 1928 versus Hybris Artistica Spherotourbillon: When Past is an influence: ...
Whatever the thinking...
on the so called Tributes and the comparisons with the originals for example, matters not to me. What's important is that they are easy on the eyes and provide a fuss free sense of nostalgia to the wearer. :) Best fernando ...

Put me in line for a TT Mark 11
But why always a limited edition of xxx pieces total rather than a limited production (xxx/year). This way these watches will be available to any fan with enough patience and not just a lucky few. Plus, if you take all the TT pieces made so far, I think m...
Thanks for your feedback. There are almost no chances to see a TT Mark 11, though.
But who knows! Interesting position on LE rather than Limited production! Best, Nicolas
