True Beat World Timer
Got this out today. I have always loved world timers(this is my third), and been fascinated by the dead beat seconds complication and the various ways it can be achieved (I don’t understand most of the mechanics). I am sure I am missing a reference, but until the 2 Geophysics and a Habring I think most watches with this complication were quite expensive. The novelty of the quartz like tick tick tick wears off after a bit, but you are left with a great world time example with all functions operated by the crown which I like. Lastly I know the movement is machine finished but it looks nice for a watch at this price point. Everyone have a great weekend.

Great piece! The 770-series movements...
were very robust and original. Sadly, it was lost on most people. If the 899 had been the base, reducing thickness and cost a bit, JLC would have knocked it out of the park. I especially liked the rose gold version. -Dean
