Spotted in Geneva: Jaeger-Lecoultre Geophysic True Seconds Blue. A Review.
The Geophysic True Seconds was unveiled in September 2015, while the Blue dialed one came two years after, in December 2017. I could only see the True Seconds Blue on pictures, till I met a friend at the SIHH in 2019, who was wearing it. I always wondered...
I was really tempted by this piece, almost bought it online when I saw it...
I could also do without the date. The normal, and current, model on the bracelet is appealing to me too for some reason. How about this? JLC releases a new version with: 1) not only a deadbeat seconds for the main second counter; but 2) a subsidiary secon...
Emotionally - I think it shows two technicalities of a mechanical movement, and that they 2 (emphasis added) can be in harmony.
I like the interplay of Ironies of the two types of seconds with a splash of modern day pizzazz.
Or, going on a crazy tangent...
Release a Duometre: 1) one movement for deadbeat chronograph; 2) the other movement for normal timekeeping with a sweep seconds hand.
Yes!!!!
What you think??? 1) that would stop those crying about a mechanical watch "acting" like a quartz; and 2) put JLC front and center again for being technical. I may have given up on JLC's thin movements, Richemont may have sacrificed JLC there for Piaget. ...
I did decide to reduce my collection but this one was on my wish list
I was close to find one but I do have way more watches than wrists. This one is very top
I like the technical aspects of this watch, but
I think the date window throws the dial off balance and yes, the cross hairs can be confusing when checking the time with a quick glance. Neither would stop me from wearing one though.
