I would like to see a decently sized Geophysic ( 38 / 40 mm maximum ), with an original case ( I mean a case which doesn't exist, currently ), a traditional dial, very close to the original, and a very modern movement, with which JLC could express its talent and craftmanship, with some Chronometric virtues...
Now, that would be a watch which would speak very loud to me!
Best, my friend.

For Geophysic Hard Core fans only ...
Here are some documents I received from my contact and the Heritage Gallery at the Manufacture... First, the famous tag. Close: Open: An official picture: A pair of ads: A German one which seems to mean something like " A new watch to celebrate an Histori...
Sometime, I learn from you, sometime you learn from me
That is all the interest of our Virtual Home, my friend. Thanks for the very nice compliment. Best, Nicolas.
Geophysic certificate label
Interesting documents, thanks. The Geophysic label I knew previously has a different colour scheme. One more nice oddity...
Another cool ducument, Clavi.
As you said, one more oddity... That is the fun of the JLC History. Best, Nicolas
Wait, I opened another thread which will be used as a
Reference for our community. I will post it there, as I already made a post about the Jubilé. Best, my friend. Nicolas
becoming a hardcore fan
Thanks for sharing this one--an intriguing watch. I never thought i'd become a fan of vintage pieces, but these pieces seem so modern..... Jason
Vintage pieces need some work to be fully appreciated.
While the moderns are more evident, as you have a kind of " immediate " story, with modern pieces. You immediately know if the piece sings to you or not, while, on the Vintage, it is a bit more complicated. Of course, there may be an instantaneous love wi...
OK, this was definitely worth waiting for...
Awesome post, Nicolas. It is like Christmas, Santa Vlad! I love looking at the Geophysic more and more, so I am really enjoying this treasure trove of goodies. It makes me wish MJLC would do a Tribute to the Geophysic, for real, not a total recreation in ...

This IS real Hard Core, Nicolas!
Another fantastic post! It’s this kind of posts that makes us dream of finding the original and dream that JLC will make a re-edition close to the original! A sincere thank you, my friend Best Blomman
Indeed, Blomman.
The Geophysic is this kind of watch I would like to have in original ( which is luckily already done ) and in an inspired re intepretation! Let's pray and hope that JLC will make our dreams come true. Thanks for the nice words, my friend. Best, Nicolas
very well done...
the vintage bug has bit me a bit and this stuff is just great to feed my hunger... thank you!
Fantastic post on a fantastic watch..
Thankyou my friend for sharing this. I thought somthing like this would have been your 30.000 post Cheers Hans
I had this in mind, truly.
Now, creating the reference post about the Ads, Catalogs and Leaflets took a long time... And posts! One day, I will gather all these informations about the Geophysic and will post them in only one thread. It is worth it! Best, Hans. Nicolas
I am just amazed...
...how much wisdom and effort you are putting into mine and others pleasure Just a small word.... ....Thankyou... Cheers my friend Hans
Interesting document, Clavi.
I didn't know this one! Funny to see the prices in old and new French Francs. Thanks for the share! Best, Nicolas
SUPERB COOOOOOL post...
... wow this hard-core post is really eye-opening to me. although i can't understand the language and the text i still can guess how cool of these advs. Geophysic is truly one of many classic signature watches made by MJLC. story behind this watch sounds ...
My pleasure, Stefan.
It would be great if, one day, you could get one! That is my wish for you. Best! Nicolas
Que decir? FANTASTICO!
Thank Nico, once again, you did a great job. A pleasure to read. Reading the insights and imagining how it was back then, makes me feel good. I really like the ad about the submarine commanders, super cool. Gracias Nico. Un abrazo. Vte
Muchisimas gracias, Vicente.
A pity it is written in French, as you would all love the text! Like you, I appreciate a lot the historical background behind some watches, such as the Géophysic. Thanks for your nice words, Hermano. Un abrazo, Nicolas.
Once again...
Once again, you make me wish to stumble upon another NOS vintage watch with all the papers while perusing the shops at the weekend. Alas, this is not the way it works and I must acquire expertise and experience first using such virtual methods; but eventu...
Well said, Nomer...
Homework first! And it bis far from being boring, you'll see. I won't separate Modern and Vintage watches. I know that many are Modern or Vintage, rarely both, they have their own interest, but when I see brands like Rolex, JLC, PP, for example, there are...
Not yet a hard core fan...,
but I am beginning to appreciate these vintage pieces along with their history. Thanks for sharing this fabulous post. Goh
Thanks a lot, Goh!
You are already in the Vintage world, with some pieces like the Memo black dial... Even if it is a piece from the 90ies, it is so firmly close to the Vintage... Best, Nicolas
