Nicolas (amanico) revisits the Jaeger-LeCoultre Tribute to Geophysic from 2014, prompting a reflection on its enduring appeal and current ownership among collectors. His post highlights the Calibre 898/2's impressive accuracy and the watch's historical significance, inviting the community to share their experiences with this often-overlooked reference.

Nicolas

…and will remain there unless the frenzy will hit it. In my view, clearly overlooked as a daily wearer and imo suited for all purposes, formal, casual, informal, sporty, etc. I have been following it since it came out. Few years ago almost bought one…don’t know what happened why I didn’t – perhaps timing wasn’t right. Just recently again looked at it and then decided to go a completely different route.
