Hometime
It's really the only true travel watch that you mentioned. the other two are great world timers - use them to phone around the world - but they are poor travel watches. For a travel watch you need to know two things: time at home (on a 24 hour basis) and local time. Everything else is superfluous.
On the Geographics the large dial is "home" time and the smaller dial is "local" time, which is the wrong way around. The hour adjustment should be on the main dial to capture local time.
On that basis the Hometime is the watch for real travelers.
Help on deciding... (Master World Geographic, Geographic, Hometime)
Not until recently, I realize that my collection of watches (well, just two watches) is insufficient to accommodate me in all social environments, work included. Currently, I own a Rolex Air King and a Mido All-Dial. Both are quite sporty in stainless-ste...
Hi, Fuigo, let me welcome you, first
As for your question, the answer is quite difficult, as I see many differences between the Géos, and the Hometime. Let's say that the Hometime looks dressier, when the Géos are more suitable in every occasion, dressy or casual. But this is only my personn...
Thanks and more...
Thank you Nicolas, for the quick response. In fact, I was leaving towards Master Geo, but your post made me think twice. I do enjoy my Rolex Air King. It is a straightforward watch (exactly the reason I got it for). You are also right in pointing out that...
Hi Fuigo
I had almost the exact same debate as you 2 years ago. At the time, I was wearing a Cartier Roadster XL Chrono and some base Panerai models (actually still wearing them). I wanted to graduate to a drssier watch and fine Manufactuer which offered great val...

Good Point...
You bring up a good point. In fact, after doing more researching on the web, I see this notion expressed by many. Hometime is on my list of candidates for its simplicity in design. For me, that is always an attraction. In regards to the previous generatio...
One more opinion - Master Geo
Well if it is simplicity or ease of reading, either the HT of the Master Geo would be a good choice over the Master World. The Master World Geo seems to me the only world timer of the three since you can see all the cities/timezones at once, but I can see...
Finally...
Thank you for all the comments! I finally made my decision and gone for the following. I will post pictures of it when I can. Meanwhile, please enjoy the photographs that I got from JLC's official website....
Exactly this one, Fuigo?
It is a Boutique Edition, in Titaniu^m, with a special grey dial. Or is it the current Master World Géo? Never mind, the most important is that you made, IMO, the best choice: YOUR choice! Please, post more pics of your beauty! Best. Nicolas
Okay... Here you go...
Today is the first day of work in Taiwan after a long Lunar New Year celebration. Things are a bit hectic, so I didn't have time to use my nice SLR to take the photos. Please bear with me while you view the following photos taken with my Sony P&S....
Well, Fuigo, this Master Wolrd Géo seems to be in good company
With a Portuguese Ref 5000, and a White Milgauss! Thanks for having taken the time to post these pics. Best. Nicolas
