Geophysic Universal Time

Thought I would share a few photos of the Geophysic Universal Time. There are so many things to like about this watch! Of course, the dial is simply beautiful. In terms of functionality, I love the fact that the city ring stays put, and that the cities themselves are situated in a way that generally corresponds to their position on the world map on the dial -- it all makes it so easy to quickly read the time for any particular time zone! The True (Deadbeat) Second complication adds a whole new dimension -- and, watching it at work through the sapphire case back is fascinating! JLC certainly did a lovely job with this one! C
Cheers,
Jim

jim Does the seconds hand land perfectly on the seconds marker for each beat through 0-60? When i saw this watch I found a bit of variation. I love the look and style but I worry if the markers are not perfectly hit on each second it will make my OCD go o...
Hi, Mark -- that's a fair question...

The answer is that, generally, the seconds hand lines up with the markers. That being said, however, there is some variation -- so, your observations are certainly borne out by my own experience. For me personally, I am OK with this, as I find the Dead Be...
Thanks and follow up

Jim thanks Is the variation consistent at specific markers. That was what i observed. I have seen this with quartz watches as well. I know each of us have our own specific likes and dislikes and deal breakers BTW i was going to buy this watch except for t...
Well...

First of all, congrats on the Polaris. What a great piece! I haven’t really studied the second hand/marker alignment issue enough to answer your question precisely, but I’ll be happy to check it out and let you know. ;-)
