It is not a secret that I am deeply in love with this Geophysic Universal Time, for many reasons: First it is a world time and I am a big fan of this complication. Then, it was a really new watch, at the moment of its unveiling. New dial, new movement, and enlarged new case. Add the fact that is add
that the Geophysic Worldtime would have done much better if it were a sweep seconds. Then, JLC would have had a nice substitute (not competitor) for the 5130. I find many folks don't like the dead-beat seconds, even though I greatly appreciate it. It's just lost on many folks. -Dean
Underappreciated IMO. It's different. A technical watch for watch geeks. It lost the sweep seconds feature so many of us love, but gained a seconde morte feature -- something only a watch geek would love. Knowing that it has the "heart" of a mechanical watch, even if its presentation is, facially, the same as a quartz watch, is just fine with me. The dial is beautiful, and the movement is well-done. It's more of an explorer's watch than the more romantic and precious Patek world timers. Cheers,
We too often complain when Jaeger Lecoultre doesn't make special watches. Here is one! Best, Dean. Nicolas
Watch shops, GTGs. And that deadbeat seconds complication is what makes it doubly appealing ππ»
