Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic True Second.
We had passionate discussions about the name of that watch. With some good and strong points, pro and con. Though, it is a nice and serious watch. Well made, with a good movement high lighting its specificity, the true second. When it is time to measure t...
Oh! Come on!
You read my mind? I actually have an opportunity to get a used (but in mint condition) True Second, and you came up with this post! I'm still torn between the true second and the Master Compressor Chronograph 2, if I decide to get another JLC to pair up w...
You got it, totally different watches. It will depend on your personal taste.
I would be you, I would go for the True Second. Because of its movement. I wold also wait 3 more weeks, just to see what JLC will offer / unveil. Best, Nicolas
That's also why I'm leaning more towards the True Second.
The True Second has some real technological advancement going on, including the true second mechanism and the Gyrolab balance. I know I want something less dressy, more casual, or sporty elegance, but not military looking.
Well, why not ...
The pair? MCC 2 for sportive looks and the Geophysic for business and social. Cheers, Nilo
A true JLC
while that may sound odd - it is meant as a compliment. A restrained, almost austere case and dial with a great implementation of an interesting complication. Definitely one to return to & appreciate its quietness Cheers JML
Sorry for that Nicolas but I will stop reading your posts.
Each time I do so it adds another watch to my wish list ! Best. Christian
Geophysic or Geomatic? :)
Really like the TS personally, for the cool complication and for how well it all fits together. And I guess if it was launched under the Geomatic name, more Purists would flock to it Could well enter my collection at some point in time... Thanks for shari...
I must confess ...
When the True Second was released, I had a strong negative view of this complication. My naive thinking was: "Why in heaven JLC is taking the pains to release a movement that mimics ... quartz?". After some education, I got the Universal Time but I forgot...
These are great photos, my heart is drawn to the TS again...
Do you wear this one often Nicholas? Also, that shot of the movement is great! I want to get one just so I can stare at it under the loupe!
Ah lucky you!
What a great relationship to have with the brand! I can never imagine myself wearing it a lot, even though I really like looking at it.
