Fine, gold filled wristwatch with power reserve. Made circa 1950.
Dial, case and movement signed, in good condition.
NOTE: The Futurematic was powered by the Calibre 497 , the Calibre 497 was a bumper wind movement. JLC created a unique hand-setting wheel that is engaged by sliding--not lifting--the coin-shaped crown on the back of the case inward toward the center of the watch, which also engages the hack lever. To set the hands, the wearer simply rotates the crown clockwise; to get the hands going again, you slide the crown toward the outside of the case.
