Yes, I did and I think it looks terrible!

Um, I wish I hadn't 😅

 
By: TeutonicCarFan : May 21st, 2024-19:56

So concoction is an accurate description then... 😉

 
By: India Whiskey Charlie : May 21st, 2024-19:58

excellent choice of word 😅😂

 
By: Sebi : May 22nd, 2024-11:23

+1 !

 
By: pkonos : May 24th, 2024-12:01

I have to agree... Deliciously adapted.

Way too busy....

 
By: InHavenPro : May 21st, 2024-20:02

I much preferred this one:

 
By: amanico : May 21st, 2024-20:08
Once again, we had more, for less. ...  

totally agree!

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 21st, 2024-22:33

what do you think of this in other colour?

 
By: Gelato Monster : May 22nd, 2024-00:21
Black? salmon? Reverse Panda?

Black would be great. Or Red.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-02:19

Which model was this? Never seen this.

 
By: rip9er : May 22nd, 2024-04:43

Polaris Geographique World Time... LE of 250 pieces, issued in 2018.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-05:47

I really wished they had expanded this exact layout...

 
By: watchme : May 24th, 2024-15:49
with different color schemes. A Polaris "Geographic World" (as it's layed out) is SUCH a great complication and the new version just looks a little "wonky" IMO. This is a true "business beater." -Dean

Very well said, mon ami.

 
By: amanico : May 24th, 2024-16:03

Such a great watch. What a pity that they didn't offer it with a bracelet.

 
By: LeCollectionneur : June 19th, 2024-17:24

Well, I am sure something is possible, here.

 
By: amanico : June 19th, 2024-20:53
...  

 
By: LeCollectionneur : June 20th, 2024-03:39
How? I was told by an AD the bracelet from the other Polaris models does not fit.

Damn, too bad. Which is surprising as I thought it was the same case, if 42 mm...

 
By: amanico : June 20th, 2024-04:50

It is quite frankly terrible

 
By: ChetBaker : May 21st, 2024-20:26

I’ll be the odd one out, I’d wear it

 
By: K-Lo : May 21st, 2024-20:30

You are really odd. :))))

 
By: amanico : May 21st, 2024-20:40

Should we be surprised? 😉

 
By: India Whiskey Charlie : May 21st, 2024-20:43

Naaaah. Not at all. ;)

 
By: amanico : May 21st, 2024-20:44

Hey 🤣🤣🤣

 
By: K-Lo : May 21st, 2024-21:18

Yes?

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-02:19

The odd guy sometimes comes out on top 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🕺🕺🕺💃🏿💃🏿

 
By: K-Lo : May 22nd, 2024-03:45

That can happen. ;)

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-05:47

I actually like it haha

 
By: m2 : May 21st, 2024-20:49

Another odd guy. ;)

 
By: amanico : May 21st, 2024-21:00

The green perpetual and the grey date are more attractive than the Geographic

 
By: GWIS : May 21st, 2024-20:55
Pictures from Hodinkee ...  

If only the perpetual had an alarm... I agree on the grey date.

 
By: amanico : May 21st, 2024-20:59

But it'd be approaching the size of a hockey puck!

 
By: jml_watches : May 21st, 2024-22:22
The old Master Control perpetual calendar with alarms were chunky enough back in the day. While they look great & I like the idea - the numbers I see on watch sale sites always concern me -as there must be something that makes people to keep selling them.... 

I believe it’s the size…

 
By: KMII : May 22nd, 2024-02:03
They don’t flatter all wrists and are not the lightest. Some like it that way, others less so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, true but the Polaris is chunky, so that will not be a problem.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-05:41

imagine the grey without a date

 
By: Gelato Monster : May 22nd, 2024-00:17
at least they can design the gate window and Hour 3 Marking with better harmony

hmm what if monochromatic green (uk reverso) in cold metal? they grey should stay as multi shades as it is

 
By: Gelato Monster : May 22nd, 2024-00:24

Or the grey with an alarm...

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-02:32

An alarm on a Polaris…

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-04:30
What a strange idea you have my friend… You'll end up in rehab... or exile... Consistency is no longer JLC's concern... You don't understand anything about current design and profitability....

I don't want...

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-05:10

You must…

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-05:22
That’s what they have said 😂😂😂

I must Nothing.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-14:06

Obey ;-)

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-14:08

You don't know me that well....

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-14:12

AHAHAHAHAH

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-14:13

that would be funky cool

 
By: Gelato Monster : May 22nd, 2024-09:45

Yes, I would well see that, too.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-10:23

We are few… rare mad men

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-11:44

And with great taste.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-13:02

AHAHAHAH

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-14:08

I love the Polaris line but this one gives a headache

 
By: pmh6000 : May 21st, 2024-21:04

I don't hate them but, once again, I have two complaints

 
By: andrea~ : May 21st, 2024-21:24
1) too big 2) too expensive

Reverso is their Oyster

 
By: Revilo : May 21st, 2024-21:53

So another movement from the master control line migrated across to the Polaris line, I wonder what's next

 
By: jml_watches : May 21st, 2024-22:24

That's it. The Polaris WT Geo was more interesting.

It’s incredible how can Panerai make us laugh 😂

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-10:00

You meant Polerai?

😆

 
By: Gelato Monster : May 23rd, 2024-05:39

too contemporary at the same time loosing more and more of polaris charm as well as characters

 
By: Gelato Monster : May 22nd, 2024-00:19

The grand maison seems only to make new movements for watches over $100k. I like these new polaris dials but using the old tiny movements is endlessly disappointing.

 
By: Fastwong : May 22nd, 2024-01:50

The golden ratio...

It has become The Expensive Maison.

With the « New » JLC... we can't rule out the risk of them even trying to milk a bull....

Hahahha, good one!

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-19:59

Saison! :)

Probably a product of the squeeze as much from the parts bin as you can…

 
By: KMII : May 22nd, 2024-02:05
Mentality? I understand the sentiment but is it a beneficial one over the medium term? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Excellent question...

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-02:21

CEOs don't care about the long term... they'll have moved before...

Indeed 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s they way companies goes…

I fear you are right...

Business as usual

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-14:12

I want to like it but could never read all that…ugh.

 
By: gregcarraram3 : May 22nd, 2024-02:32

Saw it on the dinkee, and it gave me hope for career as a watch designer

 
By: Lankysudanese : May 22nd, 2024-03:32
(If this can make it to the market)

Lol

 
By: Alfihar : May 22nd, 2024-05:56

Good one.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-10:24

If only….

 
By: cfn : May 22nd, 2024-03:52
JLC had omitted the power reserve… The Geographic is a classic JLC complication amd in that perspective the merge of the Polaris and this complication, it makes a certain sense. After all, we’ve seen it in the Reverso and the Master Control lines. I once ...  

A solid case back would have been preferable.

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-05:11

That rotor is minuscule

 
By: ChetBaker : May 22nd, 2024-05:23

Proportioned to the movement size...

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-05:39

Exactly - both tiny

 
By: ChetBaker : May 22nd, 2024-06:03

40 mm, less thick, solid case back, alarm...

 
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2024-10:24

I wish they would have left the 9 and 3 out and placed the power reserve and a date in those positions.

 
By: rip9er : May 22nd, 2024-07:01
Right now the dial looks too chaotic without any symmetry.

It's okayish

 
By: ripper444 : May 24th, 2024-20:05
Dial was designed by a drunk person but color scheme is cool!

Wow, drunk designer?

 
By: amanico : May 24th, 2024-20:05

No. Way busy.

 
By: iamawatchnut : June 19th, 2024-15:39

I’m against the crowd here

 
By: descartes1 : July 3rd, 2024-08:03
I recently tried it at the boutique in Milan. I found it quite convincing in person. The dial color and material is electric and I love the complication. Also, the layout seems less busy to me in person. The strap is also quite nice. I would buy it for su...
