I like this version best
This model is the one for me. I rarely use chronographs, I often travel, and the base sector dial Master Control enchants me less than the standard black dial version. This Geographic is a very useful complication for travelers and families of travelers alike, so it may be the most useful of JLC complications after the alarms.
If I could make just one change, I would have deviated somewhat from the aesthetic purity of the watch to endow it with limited luminescence. That feature belongs on travel watches that may be viewed in lowered light of long-haul airplane cabins and far-flung locals where the dark has fallen.
Best,

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Geographique Sector Dial 2017.
I already posted a review on that watch, and some fresh pictures of the Master Control Date and the Master Chronograph with their respective sector dials. I had to post some better pictures of the Master Géographique, which, in this configuration, has a s...
A pure gem, in each of its iterations.
You could have posted this one for this past week's WS. I would have voted it the winner, preventing both Damjan and Joe from achieving their nefarious plans.
Agreed Nicholas.
Curious how the choice of hands can affect ones feelings about a watch for better or worse. Regards Kev.
Syringe shaped hands are some of my favorite...
but the same hands filled with lume would have been preferred.
Better legibility but less personality than old models
Hands are also quite specific. Not my cup of coffee. ...
Although I own & prefer the "classical" Geographic ( from 2004) I like this one, with the pretty clean sector dial & the cool blue cities..
.. I'm still a bit irritated by these hands. Guess I would go for the Chrono version.. Best, hs

This is something I wondered, Tim. I asked JLC why they didn't fill the hands, at least. They told me that the outcome was not very convincing. But I agree with you...
Your last sentence made me dream... Best, Nicolas
I liked this version the best - so I got one :)
First off Amanico, thank you for your indepth reports in the past on these trio of watches. They were very helpful in helping me make my decision! I just wanted to give my input on my decision for this version. FYI, I owned the "original" current version ...
Thank you so much for your very interesting input! Your point on skeleton hands for the Geographique is spot on.
This is the only watch among the three which can justify the choice of pointed skeleton hands. Bravo and enjoy! Best, Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas!
Here's one more picture to show the skeleton hands in 'action' ...
