Terry, Short answer...there is a click. | |||
|
The watch Mr. Abell is referring to is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic, which was introduced in 1951. Here is a website with a lot more information on this watch: Jaeger-LeCoultre Futurematic Here is one of my examples. It's a really nice watch. I'd wear it more often, but I'm afraid that if it breaks, parts are almost impossible to find. Enjoy, gatorcpa | ||||

Hi Evan, Yes that was it, know it well and the cause of a few sleepless nights plus many hours calling round for parts that do not exsisit.. if you ever see a parts watch buy it! yours looks a superb example. | |||

Thanks Roger I know there is a click but am still unsure as to how you would let down an auto where the winder doesn't 'click' when wound back (counter clockwise). If you released the click spring wound the the MS release uncontrolled TJP | ||||

Terry...I did it just like I do other watches. I turned the stem in the winding direction to unload the click and while holding the stem pushed the click out of engagement and held it there while letting the stem slip thru my fingers in a controlled let down. | |||

Ah de cours, it engages on the wind!!! Thanks for bearing with me Roger, sometimes it takes a while to sink in, but once it does it there!! TJP | ||||
