A successor to this little-known JLC World Time
Unless I'm totally off-base, in 2006, 150 of these titanium/blue accent/ruthenium dial specials were built for the Asia-Pacific market. I believe that Sincere was the sponsor and the watch was part of a multi-brand holiday season promotion. In any case, it combines elements of blue color, world time, a radial date, and the geographic/dual time complication.
Best,
Tim
News Flash: Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris Geographique World Time!
A new member of the Polaris family is born, today. The Polaris Geographique World Time. I will give you more informations and review the watch in due time, but here are some key informations and the first pictures. The case is in steel, 42 mm big, and not...
At first blush: I like it a lot
Typical JLC Geographic layout, but now with a world time complication added as well. An obvious (but no less good) complication to add. Good dimensions. No quibble with 40-42mm, even if I think 40mm is the best size (for me). The movement is a bit diminut...
I am quite confident that the case wears smaller than the announced 42 mm. As the" eaten " 3, it is regrettable, yes, but not a deal breaker, as you said. I really like it.
A sporty " Geographique ", after the Master Compressor version. Best, Nicolas
Pretty cool...
42mm may be alright. I struggle at 44mm as with some other pieces. I really like the look but again seeing the black and blue dial in person will be important. Dave
So it's showing 8:20 in the Azores (presumably) and 9:20 in London
on both the revolving ring and the second (small) dial? And the crown at 10 is adjusting which time zone is shown on those two indicators? I like it. Mike
This sure is good lookin!
I dig the dial... AP-esque smoked blue, at probably a much lower cost!! Excellent.
I prefer the Polaris Geographic WT
It is like you said uber cool. Geophysics is classic beauty but imho wwtc is more beautiful at the same price range.
Yes, but a smaller and old movement... Compared to the Geophysic UT Cal 772 and its WT + Dead Second. And the case is not bad looking, either.
Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of GP and of the WW TC, too. But I would love to see a new movement coming...
Question is will it be easy to get ?
Only 250’pieces and I called few boutiques in the region and they had no clue about the piece . However by the time we look forward to see it in flesh it will be all snapped up by the high rollers and quick movers . I like the looks and I think the size i...
Price is perfect . I agree on that..
Iam sure I’ll be able to get one as I contacted london n salon and also dubai boutique . So far none have replied ./))
Hmmhhh.. I really, really like that one, The blue/black dial/42 mm also renders a very attractive appeal !..
.. I guess I might have to reconsider my - up to this date- favoured Polaris WT Chrono.. That one ticks many boxes for me. Just need to check the prize.. Thx for this quite tempting share, Best, hs
Just called my local boutique for more information. They didn't know about it yet, lol
They'll call me back after a Phone call with JLC Offices.

Without a doubt, the new model is better in that regard. There's a bit of blue dial AP 26120 in it.
The case of the new Polaris is a huge upgrade over that older Master lug and case profile used serially throughout the line during the 2000s. As far as I can discern, the new dial color-texture tandem is a knockout. JLC finds a new way of making a blue di...
The new Polaris chronograph was growing on me big time and . . . .
. . . . now this. A very attractive piece with a lot of activity on the dial yet still calm and logical. Count me as 2 thumbs up. M4
Fantastic dial and WT+ feature
The frosted blue to black with some red accents makes it very appealing to me. I never like the dial layout in the other lines but for some reason here with the outer city ring it adds up to my eyes. A WT with second time zone makes it unique in the marke...
Kinda original design...not many I would say in 2018
I like to the idea of WT & 2nd time zone ! Just that I’ve a thin wrist - 40mm would have been a perfect wear. Will see it in flesh. BTW JLC got out of gold rotor in the master controls ?! Best, Mahesh.,
Looking forward to your signature shots..
They continue to do a good job with the Polaris line. Might this make it to your list at some point? Best, Echi
one of my biggest deception... sorry JLC, sorry Nicolas the watch is way too big...
when I first saw the press release I was ready to buy it... I'm not please by the "Polaris" either. Is it me who is no longer the target? the perfect size will be 39, we can see in the back the caliber is too big for the case. The GEOPHYSIC UT in a a 39 c...
@Nicolas: It's never too late to bring out the caliber 912
I never imagined we'd seer the caliber 936 again after the World Geographic was discontinued in the late 2000s (2009? or 2011?). The caliber 912 with alarm and world time remains available for resurrection. It was only used in the Extreme World Alarm, and...
Upon First Look I Have To Admit...
... I am not totally blown away. I thought I would be but for some reason this piece, killer as it may be, does not speak to me. I guess I wont be one of the lucky two-hundred-fifty. Question: Are you getting one? - scott
Indeed...
... My target is a single Duometres (you already know which one I want). Then onto the Lange & Sohnne Monetswerk. After those two I've got everything I need... almost. - Scott
An update to the 2007 Geographic World...
which at 41.5mm, was pretty close, but in a Master Control case. I think the 42mm is perfect! I'm glad they moved the crown back to 3 o'clock, in stead of 4, as in the Geo World's case. I particularly like this sand grain dial. I'm expecting to see a non-...
Not if they make a major change to the dial...
that is less "mature" - read: non-gradient dial. Perhaps a white or silver dial or plain black. -Dean
