If there is a watch which impressed me a lot, in the Nineties, it is the Master Geographique. The second generation came in 1996, with the cities at the bottom of the dial, while the first generation was unveiled in 1989. In the late Nineties, very early ...  

....and it is not to thick for a complicated watch! I really like it Congratulations on owning such a beauty Nicolas. Regards Edward

and the black looks very nice, but my first choice would still be the silver dial.

Perfect proportions, contrast, power, complexity, refinement, heritage, presence, and absolute size. I'm not a fan of tribute watches, but contemporary JLC should look to the key traits that define this watch and seek to implement them in new references. ... 

Like you, I have the feeling the Geographique is an icon. Unique in its kind. Very distinctive, and I am sure many of us were attracted to or by JLC with this model. Best, Tim. Nicolas

In the mid 2000s, the Master Compressor Geographic was one of the first JLC watches I experienced firsthand, and I recall vividly the impression of quality. It was so different from anything else I had seen, the dial was so rich, and the tactile sensation... 

Sister cooler. That was good to have such a choice! Best, Nicolas

that the "Master Black" series was awesome - and the Geographique, and Master Memovox were the 2 best in steel. In rose gold, the Master Perpetual on black strap was awesome. I do, also, agree that the Platinum series was great, and something I wish JLC w... 

Issued in 2002, indeed. The MUT Black was also very appealing. My fav third from this collection. Yes, Dean, I wish JLC would re do some short ( why not only 100 pieces) series of platinum watches. Not all the models, but some of them. They recently did i... 

I think it would have made a nice contrast to the rose gold case. Can't wait for you to post the platinum version. I saw this reference at an AD recently. I did not realize JLC still makes this watch. It was a consideration until I saw the Geophysics UT. ... 

Why? They both display the different time zones in a different way. The UT is a world time, the Geographique is a travel time. That would make a nice pair! Best, Nicolas

Stop right now! ;-))

and in many ways, I think the new UT probably took over where this one left off.

I remember very well when it first appeared. A truely innovative movement, a game changer for travel watches. Superb then and superb now. Thanks for sharing. Best Imran

Hi As a whole the black series was whole - but this version of the Mater Geographique is stunning. Really like the red accents on the black dial. The darkness definitely adds something. Just reminds that there's a whole series of watches from JLC that I l... 

Hi Amanico, That is such a beautiful watch. The black dial just makes it so very special. Here is another watch from that series/line - the Master Memovox. Almost as cool - and of course the only Memovox with a saphire case back , ...and here is the flip ...  

Dots... Wow... So sensual and warm. Bravo Claus. Best, Nicolas
