As a happy owner of the JLC Geophysic World Time, I fully agree!

I walked into this store for a completely different watch.

And then was completely surprised with this gem. Since I also found a gorgeous Breguet Tourbillon in the same shop, I now have a few things to think about. This ALS is really impressive and also looks very modern with the black dial and the brown leather ...

This is a very interesting piece IMHO. You are right that you can advance the local time only in one direction which means that 23 pushes are necessary in a worst case scenario. The one I sampled about a week ago also had a rather resistant pusher so that...
Thanks a lot, Felix!

For me this watch is undeniable a breathtaking beauty. But it also has some...quirks that make it impractical for me for everyday travel use. All the best and enjoy your Sunday, Thomas
Yes, of course!

I put the pictures in the Breguet forum. 😉
Impeccable taste Thomas!

My experience based on the 1st generation Time Zone: 1) The pusher at 8 o'clock to advance the cities is indeed more resistant. It's very distinctive when compared to the buttery-smooth pusher at 10 o'clock. 2) Unfortunately, the cities can only be advanc...
Thanks a lot, my friend,

especially for your really valuable tips. This watch is wonderfully handcrafted with a beautiful dial. Wear comfort also seems very good (although I only had the watch on my wrist for a few minutes). The not very practical functionality for (uncomplicated...
Yes, optically the watch is awesome!

And the movement is a dream. For me, a watch must also have flawless functionality. And to be honest, I'm not entirely convinced...
No catch.

Just touching and trying. 😎

One of the main insights was that a large part of our relationships consists of projections of one's own ideas and desires. Hahahaha 🙏
So true!

Perhaps the stiffness of the city pusher ...

is by design, so that it doesn't get actuated inadvertently. I'm just guessing ... If you are looking for a travel watch, it's hard to beat Rolex GMT/Exp II models in terms of functionality. They are even better than Sky-dwellers, which have some limitati...
For me personally this is the most practical and

attractive WT. ☺️ P.S.: The pushers on the ALS were really extremely hard to press. You could only move the city ring with great effort. If that's really the intention, I think they have exaggerated. Or is there another reason behind it? According to the ...
That's very nice too!

Love watches with maps on the dial! Another example is JLC Geophysic World time. Enjoy the hunt!

Mine too!

That was such a gem! Two complications in a steel case and priced very reasonably! If I recall correctly, the movement was quite special too.
Post some pics ...

when you get a chance! That's a great piece! 🤗
Too nice.

For me, there are two kinds of travel watches…
By: south : October 31st, 2022-10:48
1. Those lovely pieces showing various times simultaneously, often equipped with a map, such as the Geophysic Travel Time or a PP 5935A. These are IMHO perfect when dealing with people all over the world and thinking about the right time for Teams meeting...
