Good Question

 

I actually enjoy the power reserve indicator since my Master Control Geographic is in a regular rotation and i need to wind it every so often. The hour and minute hands pass over/on top of the power reserve indicator. Also the power reserve indicator/hand is a darker color than the hour and minute hands so there is some distinction. Admittedly, the dial can appear busy, but I've never had trouble with the legibility of the primary time or second time zone. I would like to see the case improvements implemented on the new Master Hometime to the Master Geographic. Perhaps there is room for improvement in the design. I think they could do wonders aesthetically if they could display the power reserve on the back of the movement or maye even reduce its presence on the dial.

This is exactly the kind of Time Keeper I love. A Friendly complicatin in a reliable watch. As for the look, the previous version was a bit dressier, while this one is a bit sportier. But in any case, a nice and understated watch. The movement uses modern...

This watch has caught my attention for quite some time, but I have not jumped yet. I think what stops me is the relative "strong" presence of the power reserve. I am afraid that its hand interferes with hour/minute hands to disturb readability of the dial...

although technically it may be a bigger challenge than it seems with the rotating mass of the automatic movement.

JLC makes some great watches

First many thanks for your pictures. The Master Geographic has always attracted and interested me; I have owned a few since its first appearance in late 90's, up until the Singapore Airline version. Since then I have continued to looking at the newest and...  

Thank you PoyFr

Yes, the 38 mm plantinum limited edition Master Geographic is a beauty. I would love to see a platium or white gold version when they redesign the model.

you are right

Yes, it's one of the best looking and most "value-for-the-moneish" this last years, IMO.
