HERITAGE
THE FIRST ENTIRELY AUTOMATIC WATCH
In the early 1950s Jaeger-LeCoultre set out to revolutionize the modern wristwatch by launching a model that was truly ahead of its time. Featuring numerous technical improvements, the Futurematic ushered in a new era for the Manufacture, as it was built on revolutionary principles, without the conventional crown and winding mechanism. It is a model that shaped not only the production at Jaeger-LeCoultre in the 1950s, but also the history of watchmaking as a whole.
