Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic Universal Time, a future collector?

 
 By: amanico : September 8th, 2020-23:53
Launched in September 2015, discontinued 4 years after, this model and its sister the Geophysic True Second had a short life, to say the least. Surfing on the case of the Tribute to Geophysic, in bigger, housing a new movement which has not been used in a...  

I agree

It had a very short run, and I believe, small production. I tried my best to get this version instead of the regular version but it was all sold out except for the boutique in Canada (someone on FB told me it was in his boutique). My favourite part of it ... 

By special, you mean without one bridge close to the balance wheel?

great combo

...it is a beautiful and interesting piece now and likely always will be. I am surprised it had such a short life. I can understand why this is on your list, Nicolas. I love this world timer. Were there different versions of this model? Thanks fro the rem...

I didn't even notice the bridge until you showed it. In the pic above (calibre 770), it shows a bridge. Mine doesn't have a bridge - does that mean it was an early production piece? The devil is in the details indeed...my god, it was hiding in plain sight... 

IO sir, I submit my findings to u

Yes, indeed a great piece, actually my fav of that year.. Also was a bit lucky to get an early one without the „extra“ bridge.. Thus, an unobstructed view..
