Introducing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic, a masterpiece of innovation launched in 1951.

As the first wristwatch without a winding crown, it boasts a perfectly circular design that exudes elegance.

The Dauphine hands and applied indices enhance its distinguished look.

The power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock complements the small seconds at 3 o’clock.

Together, they create a beautifully balanced dial.

With cutting-edge advancements that made it one of the most precise automatic watches of its time, the Futurematic not only revolutionized Jaeger-LeCoultre’s production but also left an indelible mark on horological history.
