ENGLISH (il testo italiano è in fondo alla pagina)
Complete with its cardboard slipcase, certificate of guarantee and user manual, the box seen here originally contained a Futurematic – “engineered to be the most accurate automatic watch in all the world”.
The inscription suggests that the timepiece was sold by Vacheron & Constantin - LeCoultre, the U.S. subsidiary of the two manufacturers. Timepieces meant for the American market did not feature the Jaeger brand’s name.

New releases – HYT Hastroid Blue Star
This limited edition of 20 pieces features a 48 mm magnesium case with a metallic blue gradient. Magnesium is 2.6 times lighter than titanium, yet extremely strong. The dial features a large central hand with an electric blue coating, and sharpened contours for an instantaneous fix on the minutes. The two sub-counters provide essential complementary information: small seconds at left; power reserve to the right. The openworked dial back and mainplate reveal the components of the hand-wound mechanical movement designed by Eric Coudray.
