Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hello, experts

I have a question; how is the cals 936 and 937 related? Are they both new gen movements?

Thanks

The Cal 936 and 937 are relative to the Master World Géographic, and the Master Géographic.
I think they are a development of the Caliber 929 which was housed in the Master Geographique since 1991, if I'm not wrong.
A development more than a new generation of calibers, AFAIK.
Hope this will help you, and ...Welcome here!
Best.

LE for the Boutique...



I'll take better pics quite soon.

Really a good looking watch. I am trying to talk myself out of getting one, as I am sure there are more "rational" ways of spending that kind of money.. It really seems I will not succeed, though.

of Master World Geographic is limited edtion to 500 pieces. I owned one of them no. 13X/500. It is a great looking watch. One thing that bothers me a lot is the very audible noice of the rotor spinning when my hand moves. I asked the AD service centre but they said is normal because of the ball bearing. But it is the noisiest watch I ever had.

…my RDM 938 is noisy too, but I must confess I like it. IMO it shows how "alive" this mechanical beauty is

Thanks for your input!

Any chance  you still get a pic of this LE ?

Thanks!

Best.

I still own the watch since I never sell any of my watch . Just cannot part with any of them.... Actually I had problem when I got it for about 2 months. The 2nd time zone did not move. But it was OK after factory service which take about 2 months. I will post it ASAP

Difficult to let go our beauties, Eeeeh?

Best.

I took the this chance to take picture of  some of my collection. Never had a slightest idea to photograph them before joining this forum...

That's a collection!
BTW, the Rad Rose Gold 40mm is a Pam 104, I believe...
If my wife sees this one, I'm dead!
LOL
Best!

Pam 104 is a Luminor. Dont know why I keep saying 105. Care to share the story why your wife is going to kill you if she sees this watch??

Still have a Rolex Daytona, Breiting Navitimer LE 25 pieces and of course an Omega Seamaster. Cant take photo of them since they are in the bank safe deposit box. I can kill myself if I lost any of my watch at home. Cant take the risk of storing them at house. It's funny, those watches rarely have any wrist time, but just can't part with them. Just knowing that I own those watches make me happy....

I'm a sucker for YG/PG/RG finishings, so I like what you have!

Oh yeah, I'm not sure about the watch lovers (non quartz lovers that is), but I like mechanical cameras (like the one pictured in my pix and yes it's a Leica MP) the same reason I like mechanical watches! Marvellous complexities and often times packaged in simplicity a.k.a minimalist, elegant, functional, dead on and durable.

So am I alone here?

Mech=Mechanical

I too love all these mechanical things, even if I own a digital  Camera Leica ( D Lux 3)...

But I'm not very keen on colored gold...

Except for some few small and thin watches...

Best, my friend.

Great to know another RG owner Sonny!

Yes, it's noisy, but beautiful sound to my years!

Hi,

I love your pic, I love your camera (I have the same) and I love your watch.

The Master World Geographic is really outstanding in pink gold. I've seen it several times on Jerome Lambert's wrist and it was perfect.

That's a watch I'd love to get, but in pink gold only.

Thanks for sharing.

Since you love it so much, here's another shot to keep you drooling haha . Hope you get one soon and share your joy with us!

Hi,

Looking  at your pic it makes me think that the major reason IMO for the beauty of this one, and again IMO the superior beauty over the other current  and recent Master models, is the thin bezel!

I'd love to see a master Tourbillon with this thin bezel!

Cheers

So I suppose the 936 and 937 is basically the same movement, but the 936 has "extras" for the World Geographic? And they both are "autotractors", to put it bluntly..

322 pieces for the cal 936, instead of 307 for the cal 937...
As for the World Geographique " La Boutique ", I will see it again in 2 days...I'll take my camera to take some pics...
This is a stunnig watch with its beautiful ruthenium dial ,and these little touches of red...
Best.
