Jaeger-LeCoultre

I told you that some new watches will pop up quite soon, after the SIHH.

The Master World Geographique is one of those watches.

Well, the new thing is that this model is now available in titanium with a special dial and will be only available at the Boutiques,

Till now the Boutique version was a LE of something like 30 pieces in SS, now, in this metal, this is a non LE.

The previous Boutique Version:





Now the new titanium model:











As you can see, the new things on this watch are the titanium case, ( Grade 5 ), and the combo ruthenium grey dial / Grey Blue day night indicator.

And I have to say that this combo grey dial / titanium case is something beautiful!

Here some macros dedicated to the dial:







Now a view on the case back:





So you always have the following functions:

- Hours,Minutes and small seconds.

- Date in a deicated counter.

- WorldTime.

- Dual Time Zone.

- Night and Day indicator.

The diameter is as the current version a 41,5mm case, and logically, the movement is the same ( Cal 936 ).

If you can, go to see it, and to try it, as the ruthenium dial is something really beautiful, whose apsect changes with the light..Really magic!

The finish of the dial is also stunning, as you see on the macro pics, with these applied indexes and numbers...

Well, a lovely watch, a very nice World Time, to consider for all travellers!

Hope you'll get pleasure to see it.

Best.

on my wrist, and I have to admit the dial is beautiful and the lightness much more appreciated.

We could suppose that all travelers, wanting to move without too much luggage and weight, have to consider this master World Geographic in titanium.

Thanks to JLC to propose this watch in Boutique edition, even if no limited. There are so many travelers going to JLC boutiques, so they could find one more beauty.

Thanks for this post, Nicolas,

Not obsessed by the LE phenomenon..

This watch is affordable, nice and interesting, so a LE would be cruel!

Best.

Nicolas

It must be beautiful in the flesh!

 

I am curious to see what other post SIHH surprises are coming

I'm not forgetting some other nice pieces...

Just have to work a bit on them...

Among all the wolrdtimes available, this is not my favourite, as I'm more inl ove with the PP 5110P, but hey, this is not the same price, as this JLC is quite affordable and is a very good bargain, IMHO, for this kind of complication!

Best, my friend!

I would also consider a titanium one with ruthenium too

 

Best,

But I'm afraid this is not for this year...

Should we ask a special LE for you and me? LOL

Best.

I am sure you know the steel model (ref 163 84 2A). With a black dial as on the pink gold model, it will be nice.

Maybe a good suggestion for a Boutique model.

FP Journe said that Steel sounds better for a Minute Repeater. I do not know as I have not the opportunity to compare Steel and Titanium for MMR.

Very good idea, indeed.

Master Grand Reveil...A LE for 3? LOL

As for better sound, I think it's first ...GLAS, then titanium, and then SS...The last is platinum or ever worst... Plomb, but I don't know the english word for it...

I will be haunted by the beauty of this watch until I see it in person. I went for the 40 mm Master Geographic, because IMHO the dial on the stainless steel Master World Geographic is just a touch busy, but this colour combination really improves the legibility and aesthetics of the dial. I am very impressed! Thank you very much for the preview Nicolas. I thought I had some difficult decisions before, but now things have become even more complicated  . My wife is going to kill me when I come back from the AD! lol.

Or buy her something...

Corrupting is sometimes good, and efficient! LOL

Best.

Hope to see one in the metal soon

I don't know which to go for, the blue or the black.  Both extraordinary pieces!

IMHO.

The combo titanium case, ruthenium dial is just awesome.

Best.

Nicolas

thanks for the pictures !

Best, my friend.
