Amanico shares his profound admiration for the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time, highlighting its significance within JLC's travel watch lineage. He praises its Caliber 772, featuring a world time and dead beat seconds complication, along with its distinctive dial and case design. This post invites the community to discuss what makes this timepiece a standout 'King of Cool' in the realm of world timers.

Jaeger Lecoultre love  Watches linked to Travels. The Geographic, Master or Reverso, the Master Compressor Geographique, the Extreme World Chronograph, the Duometre Unique Travel Time, the very recently unveiled Polaris World Time Chronograph and Polaris Geographique World Time reflect that passion and interest for Travel Watches. 

Such is the Geographique Universal Time, unveiled in 2015. 

With the Duometre UTT, my favorite watch from the Manufacture, in terms of Travel Watches / World Time. 

I really like the new Cal 772 ( World Time + Dead Second ), the dial and the shape of the case, for once.

A real coup de coeur, as we say in French.






Very high in my Jaeger Lecoutlre wish list... Just after the Duometre UTT, and just before the Blue Memovox and Reverso Tribute Duo /  TT Reverso Red. 

Which speaks quite a lot! 

Best,

Nicolas

... that in spite of the fact I strongly criticized its dial for those two ugly screw heads this watch has been growing in my mind lately and I finally inscribed in my wish list too. A very attractive and interesting offering by JLC indeed... in spite of those screws! All the best mi amigo! Abel

I may have mentioned already that I dislike world timers that feature a printed map of the world on the dial. To my eye it really cheapens the piece. (Artistic enamel work is a different story because it is a true artistic handicraft.). But just a map printed on the dial with no functionality or artistic merit. Nah. Not for me. LOL!

I like the Geophysic series and the dead second function but I have difficulty discerning the hands from the dial in this WT. Maybe a little more contrast between hands and dial would help. That's why I like the simpler blue dial more. /W72

I have admired this piece since I first saw it. Though, never in the flesh. A different animal than the iconic PP WT family. A beauty!! Steve
