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...

Very nice - looks in superb condition
Definitely an iconic watch - I'm with others , would be a great tribute option. Cheers JML
yes it was scary, but alwas was very advance design till now...

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!
Both very new and untraditional...
One a trendsetter, helped by Internet, new storage standards (CD/DVD) - coming out as a winner! One, trying to change a very traditional field where certificates only recently become plastic cards (some brands still do actual papers)... Best Blomman
Out of all vintage JLC, it is maybe the only one that I would like to see in the flesh and own!
It is the only model that does not have any equivalent today, so unique. It is hard to know why it was not so successful then, but I clearly see the appeal today! Thanks for your nice shots. I would go for Nicolas' model as I am not too much into gold. Be...
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
I have wished for quite awhile now...
that JLC would release a Master Control with no crown - just 1 corrector for hours and 1 for minutes. This way it would be a "lefty" or a "righty." Yours would look awesome on a honey-colored alligator! (my taste) -Dean
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 ! )
