Jaeger-LeCoultre

I must've been a good boy this year!

 

Santa delivered a brand new original style (38mm) Master Control Geographic to me! I love this model and already had the black dial/display back version on a glossy honey croc strap. This new one is of course the silver dial on a glossy black croc strap. To me, the dial is so perfectly harmonised that there was no real room for improvement. Also, unlike some folks, I find it to be a fantastic travel watch and have no trouble reading the dial. I haven't heard anyone suggest that if the small dial is difficult for one to read constantly when traveling, how about using the small dial for home time and the large dial for local time? OK, so you have to move the minute hand but it that such a big deal? I actually enjoy setting my watches-they're fun to play with that way, so it doesn't bother me at all! I fimly believe that when the big watch trend runs out of steam, JLC will return to these dimensions. Long live the Master Geo!

By the way, being a blue jeans & navy slacks lover, I prefer the silver dial on the navy strap - it really pulls out the color of the subdial hands. I completely agree Dean. In fact I was thinking or ordering a custom Camille Fournet navy croc strap throu...
