Hi all,
I couldn't find a similar thread for JLC. The more I read about watches the more I appreciate their movements and history. I've come close to own a LeCoultre Powermatic from early 50s in 10k gold cased in USA but it didn't work as described, I've got cold feet and ended up returning it (now I regret that decision). In any case, I found the power reserve complication and specially it's bumper movement sound very charming hehe.
So to the original question, for me based on budget and what I like, a Powermatic in SS signed Jaeger-LeCoultre, black dial and ideally made in 1948 (not sure if in the first year there was SS, but that year is special to me) would be perfect. A special mention to a Futurematic porthole in SS, porthole in particular because is larger that the other ones and for what I read Futurematics had a very ingenious movement and no freaking crown hehe. Maybe the name is the only weakness...
I was wondering what is your favorite JLC and why (if you like to share), curious what other people like best about JLC and a great opportunity to know other models.
Thanks,
Leo
