Jaeger LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time and GP John Harrison: side-by-side
After a recent visit to a Purist friend, I took a rare opportunity to take a side-by-side shot of these two World Timers.
Each with its own charm, the JLC with its technical appeal and a superb movement and the GP with its charming enamel dial.
Two aces when it comes to World Timers.

Thanks Alkiro, they have a different character for sure
probably aim at a different customer type.
That would be
probably the Holy Trilogy of modern World Timers... coz what else is there? The VC does not convince me as much, too much clutter on the dial. The MB is nice but not in the same league...
Interesting to see these two side by side!
The enamel dial of the John Harrison is hard to beat! Best Blomman

I do like the JLC in the metal, much more than on photos, even there are a few points I would like to have seen implemented differently...
It is probably unfair
to compare the enamel with the printed dial, but I'd say it again: the World Map on the JLC is very well done and looks awesome. There are other little things that spoil it a bit for me, like the jumping second (not a fan) or the thin 24h ring and the dif...
Both are very nice. GP's enamel dial excels over JLC's lacquer dial, but as to the overall watch, I find the JLC UT better.
The JLC has more harmony in the case and lugs, IMO. And I have come to appreciate the dead seconds complication on the JLC, so no demerit there. I do find the red printing on the JLC a bit jarring, and wish JLC instead used two different shades of blue (o...
Very good and thoughtful points, John
the only thing I can say as far as wrist comfort is concerned, both are equally good.
Great pair
Interesting how they have so much in common, yet look (and I bet feel) so different at the same time. Agreed with many previous comments that the GP looks cleaner and maybe more charming, yet the JLC could be viewed as technically more interesting. I'd ta...
