Nicolas (amanico) presents the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master World Géographique 'La Boutique' edition, a limited series of 35 pieces. His post provides an in-depth look at this unique timepiece, highlighting its ruthenium dial and distinct aesthetic compared to the standard Master Géographique.
As promised, I took some pics today of the Mastrer World Géographique...For La Boutique, a LE of 35 pieces, specially made for The JLC Boutique.
Instead of the 40mm of the Master Geogrâphique, this " World" has a 41,5mm case, in SS or in Rose Gold ( this last one is limited to 500 pieces).
The La Boutique looks a lot different, due to the Ruthenium dial,and a Red White Bezel...That's the only difference, but an imortant one, as it gives to this watch a very elegant look.
The Caliber is the 936, instead of the 937 of the Geographique, and when I tried it, I effecetively noticed the noise of the rotor as previously mentionned by someone here...
But I heard worst noises than with this one...
Here, the pics of the whole watch, difficult to take if the light is artificial, and in a Boutique, the light is always...Artificial...LOL
The ruthenium of this dial has to be seen in live, just splendid!
The color really changes with the light...See by yourself:
The Watch has a sapphire case back, a window to a nicely executed movement...
Even if I would have prefered a larger diameter for the movement...
As we speak of the movement, here are some macros...Not bad, eeeh?
And on the wrist, very pleasant to wear, the diameter being top! I just would have be more happy with a grey old croc than this brown, but just a personnal taste...
A nice and elegant solution for the frequent travellers, and those , like me, who love this kind of complication...
And JLC has a great merit, their " Boutique Editions " are at the same price as their current production...
Hope you enjoyed it!
Best.
