See, now this is a watch with a real use!!

I love the world time function, but the majority that I see don't take into account time changes. So 6 months of the year they are wrong!! It winds me up a lot actually, hahaha!!
You have to applaud JLC for including this detail. I have never understood how companies can sell very expensive WT watches (PP for example) in which all cities are fixed to a particular time.


Edit: I guess I should caveat my critique by specifying there is a difference between World Timer and Dual Timer, and this function is harder to achieve in a World Timer

My new watch

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 20th, 2017-17:07
Hi guys! I love sector dials, love JLC, and needed a dual timer - so when the Master Geographic came out I was ready to go! Much more later... ...  

Thank you! [nt]

Wow, I like it!

I was disappointed with VC's new Overseas dual time which opted for a 3rd GMT hand and lost the subdial at 6. Can you tell me more about your new JLC? BTW, congrats on your new toy! Alfred

I love it

Will give a decent write up later, but for now let me just say that this is a watch that gets even more striking the longer I wear it. The light gives it different tones and the overall package is just so striking. It’s a relatively simple watch with a ve... 

Congrats

I loved it the split second I tried it on... such a great watch. I can understand why the hands are skeletonized but the only thing I would have preferred was lume filled hands. Still, it's really convincing! ...  

Congratulations, great choice

From my perspective, this was the best of JLC's "Geneva Three" of 2017. The Geographic complication is distinctive of the brand and endlessly useful. Also, the blue accents and hands create a striking effect without excess. Best, Tim

thanks, but..

It was just a shot I took while attendibg SIHH. It's not mine as of yet

As of yet... ;) [nt]

Superb shot! [nt]

I like that it is lume free

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:52
Or perhaps I am just an apologist! Anyway, it certainly helps to keep a view on the subdial.

Thanks!

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:53
Agreed, they are sector but with a little spice. As a fan of blue, this is a watch that now goes with most things that I wear!

Awesome pick-up. Well done! [nt]

Thanks! [nt]

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:53

Agreed

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:53
They can appear very dark in certain light, and then they POP

Such a handsome sector dial

the blued hands and blue accents are amazing! Congrats and enjoy the new toy Cheers Robin

Thank you I will/am! [nt]

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:53

Thank you sir! [nt]

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:54

Huge congratulations. My favourite among the three. Very nice

 
 By: Alkiro1 : November 20th, 2017-23:36
Enjoy and wear it in the best of your health. Best wishes Alkiro

Mine too!

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:55
I wanted the date not to have a date, the chrono to have running seconds, and the geographic to be mine!

Thanks!!

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:56
It’s been almost permanently on my wrist I haven’t even been able to manually wind it because the reserve hasn’t reduced enough to relax the slipping spring!

Huge fan of this piece for all of the reasons you mention.

 
 By: ik2000 : November 21st, 2017-01:03
For me, JLC created a superb range with the 3 watches, and yours is my favourite. Well, I love the chrono too!

Appreciate the comment

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:57
Thank you, it’s such a great range. I do believe I saw a chap on here who picked up all three!

Question regarding the long black lines on some of the cities....

 
 By: ik2000 : November 22nd, 2017-02:53
Does this take into account summer time? Moscow doesn't seem to have a black line, London does, some lines are longer than others... also, are you wristwatchhandbook on insta?

Correct!

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 22nd, 2017-12:03
Yes I am @wristwatchhandbook and yes those black bars are for summer time. As I am in London observing winter time, the blocks apply to Southern Hemisphere cities, as they are currently observing summer time. The northern hemisphere blocks are not used du... 

See, now this is a watch with a real use!!

Yes

You are correct, very hard to achieve in a WT - but it is definitely possible!

George!

 
 By: iamcalledryan : November 21st, 2017-16:57
Thanks man

Followed you on IG!

 
 By: grnbean : November 22nd, 2017-03:31
This is @grnbeanwatch Congrats again and looking forward to some more shots! This watch didn't leave my wrist while I traveled to Malaysia, Singapore, China and Korea the past couple of weeks! Perfect travel watch ...  

Followed you back sir! [nt]
