A fresh shot of the Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic True Second.
Jul 21, 2017,03:17 AM
Taken at the Manufacture, one week ago, with natural light, I mean without flash.
Austere, compared to the Tributes, the Universal Time or the Tourbillon Universal Time, but not lacking charm.
If only it name was different...
Best,
Nicolas.

Beautiful watch, with reservations...

At one point, I really see it as a near-perfect dress watch for my taste. Interesting "complication" alternative to say the basic Master Control or MUT Moon, and a very coherent and appealing design. My only gripe are as follows: 1. Maybe its a little too...
For me the least interesting one of the geophysic collection.

I've seen my 1958 in RG and the true second in RG side by side and there is no way, I'd exchange them. If I'd buy a JLC with the "true second", it would be the universal time. And if I want a very simple automatic watch with a simple date, I prefer my Nom...
What will it be?

Good, could have been better

I like the Geophysic TS. A bit plain. A bit too thick (by 1-2 mm, which would make a huge difference in wearing comfort). And the date: not my preference. But overall a cool watch--like a scientific instrument in a way with its seconde morte complication,...
A very good watch in my eyes!

It is interesting to read here what people think, all remarks are good to take. In my eyes, yes it is austere but as austere as the master ultra thin can be for example. The only thing I would blame on this watch is it's water resistance which should real...
Agree with you about the name.

But the watch is awesome. A real connoisseurs' watch. A "real" JLC. I only wish there was no date window.
Following my taste, I find this watch very interesting,

especially thinking about it like a 2000'son watch: I well know that the past offers a lot of elements for various comparison, but, in its way, this is a very cool instrument. A great movement, a design perfect for the daily wear. If I'm not distressed to...
I own this watch

And if you ask me, I say the main attractivness of this watch lies precisely in its "plain-ness".
Plain-ness and austerity at the first (distant) look

But with my glasses on, many intersting details can be seen: - the texture of the comparatively thick dial, - the case shape/profile combined with the aggressive horns, - the brushed middle case band, - indeces whose surface is actually "fluted", or guill...
Geo watches

I really think JLC made a big mistake in calling this family of watches " Geophysic ". The result is that the name is being used on watches which have no relation to the original Geophysic which rather devalues a historic name. I'm surprised that JLC with...
