Subexplorer celebrates a significant personal milestone by acquiring a Jaeger-LeCoultre World Time, a piece that had long been on his wish list. His post shares the joy of this horological self-present, highlighting the watch's captivating dial, world time complication, and the intriguing secondes mortes feature.

... 70 years old self present!!

Hello friends!!
Just three days ago I officially entered into the category of Septuagenary (ouch! How ugly this word sounds!) Lol!

Anyway, I decided I needed an horological self present to celebrate my “membership” so I plunged into one of the items in my long wish list: this JLC World Time which had been haunting my soul since a long time! (Yes, haunting me in spite of the two little screws on the dial !!)

Well, in the metal the famous screws I had deplored so much are not as conspicuous as in pictures I have viewed.

I fell in love with this watch due to the dial, the WT complication I love so much and the interesting secondes mortes complication as well.

A lovely case complements this beautiful watch as well as a very nicely finished movement visible through the glass back.

It is truly an awesome fine timepiece indeed!
I just took a few quick shots to share it with my friends here!

Cheers! Abel

I'm working on reading world timers, If I am reading it correctly it is almost 3:00 where you are and almost 5:00 in London, and the times aligned with the other cities would be the time in that particular city, correct??

... yes, it was ten minutes to three PM in my Country when I took these shots, and you have to read London time (or other places) viewing the sign * to the right of each County name. So in London it was ten minutes to 18 (6 PM). Athens 20 (8 PM), etc. My home town name do not exist but it corresponds to Rio de Janeiro/Brazil 15 (3 PM) Sometimes you have to make correction for Winter or Summer time when some Countries change them. Hope this explanation works! Cheers! Abel
