Description

The LeCoultre Futurematic power reserve indicator watch is a vintage timepiece that was first introduced in the early 1950s by the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer LeCoultre (now known as Jaeger-LeCoultre).

One of the key features of this watch is its automatic winding system, which uses a rotor that oscillates to wind the mainspring. This mechanism is housed in a unique "bumper" case, which has a spring-loaded rotor that rebounds against two buffers in order to generate power.

A notable feature of the LeCoultre Futurematic is its power reserve indicator, which displays the amount of energy remaining in the mainspring. This indicator is located at the 12 o'clock position on the dial and is marked with a red segment that moves as the power reserve is depleted.

The watch has a distinctive design, with a minimalistic dial that features a textured finish and simple hour markers.

The LeCoultre Futurematic was a groundbreaking timepiece when it was first introduced, and it remains highly sought after by collectors today. Its combination of technical innovation and classic design make it a true icon of mid-century horology.
