An old photo of a watch which generated passionated discussions: Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute to Geophysic Steel.
4 years, already, and a lot was written on that watch, which is a very cool one, despite the objections of the Geophysic fans about its automatic movement.
But at least its movement was accurately adjusted, and it doesn't lack charm!
Here is one of the pictures I took at the manufacture, for the covering of its launch.
On historical goodies!
Best,
Nicolas

Superb shot dear Nicolas!! I remember so well viewing this picture and running to the phone to place an order for it...
... at the Milano Boutique a few minutes later! The watch arrived in September 2014 to the Boutique and I had to wait till November to be able to travel to take delivery it. I visited you in Paris a few days later and took a shot of it by the original one...
I blew it with this one...
Had it on my wrist at an AD and decided it looked a bit too small on me at the time. Now I regret not buying it.
I wanted this watch when it was first revealed...
But it seemed "trop cher". From its release in 2014 until 2017, it seemed all 800 units were spoken for and the JLC Boutiques could not locate one for me anywhere in the world. I was wary about buying one preowned from any unknown seller via chrono24 rega...
Quite so my friend. There is one more JLC (from 2012) that I keep searching for... Maybe, Nicolas, you can tell me if you see one for sale across the pond!
The steel Reverso 1931 Tribute US edition, limited to 100 pieces. I have not seen one come up for sale in the last 3+ years, since I discovered it and began looking. If I can acquire it, with original fagliano strap, I believe it will be the perfect two w...
Good luck on your search for a Reverso 1931 US Edition, Remarque!
I believe that you might have double the chances of finding a Tribute to 1931 US Edition, Remarque. True, the original year’s release in 2011 was 100 pieces, featuring a very dark brown (almost black) Fagliano strap. I think that was followed in 2012 with...
Great story.
It gives me hope as I am in a similar situation...only I’m still searching (and you bough the last one!). Brian
Superb picture. You really have a talent for making those.
I was first quite disappointed with the way the made this one. But then I saw an incredible picture our super cool friend Patrice, in Zanzibar, I changed my mind a bit. It is damn good looking. I still don’t like the lume dots mounted on the case. And the...
