There are some confusion with regards to the branding of Jaeger Lecoultre versus Lecoultre for some collectors. Due to the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act, the Futurematics for the U.S. market have a LeCoultre logo instead of Jaeger-LeCoultre printed on the dial and engraved on the calibre and the inside of the case back.
European version of Jaeger Lecoultre 37mm potholes versus uS version 35mm Lecoultre Futurematic Potholes.
The power reserve indicator for the European version is dark blue while the US version is in red.
I have started to form a small collection of vintage Jaeger Lecoultre watch with a focus on the Memovox with special dials and the Futurematic in potholes. I am super glad that I am able to find the 37mm blue lapis dial Memovox in gold and steel. There is one more in brown dial which I hope to find in the future.
I have another Vacheron and Jaeger dual name Mystery dial as well as a Military Jaeger. Hope to slowly grow my collection.
