I Suppose It Was Only A Matter Of...
... Time.
The all new JLC Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time
As if having a Gyrolab balance wasn't enough, JLC's brain trust added a flying tourbillon at 4:30. Other than Aukland suffering some incursion, the dial is pure poetry.
At 43mm's, it might be just the right size. Limited to 100 pieces, I suspect the price will be a bit high, but let's face it, all one-hundred examples are already spoken for.
Given the fact that a Geophysic never had a tourbillon, there may be a lack of DNA in this piece. Looking forward to Amanico's take after SIHH.
HAGWE!

First thought......strange. Second thought......very strange!
Geophysic wrist watch! Tourbillon. Seems to me like a great "harvester" with a 12 cylinder Ferrari engine. Anyway, who I am to say.
I'm not too sure about these ones....
My favourite tourbillons are the examples hidden by the dial, until you turn them over!
Well, the Geophysic never had a world time either.. So why not a tourbillon.
But I am looking forward to seeing it at the SIHH... With impatience. For the moment, I reserve my comments. Best, Nicolas
This is what I was referring to in my post below...
Frankly it doesn\'t do much for me - the Geophysic is, to me, a sort of a tool watch; a tourbillon doesn\'t generally fit that conception to my mind. Poor Auckland! I do like the rest of the dial treatment, though. One thing that\'s curious is that all th...
Well, GP made a WW.TC with a triple bridge Tourbillon on the caseback.
A complete beauty, I must say! Ref 99350: Pic Source: Amanico's post last year - www.watchprosite.com Cheers! Tony ...
Aha! I knew it!!!
Thanks Tony. That sure is gorgeous. And I just knew it had to be one of those statements cooked up by the PR department. Next year there will be a special edition: the first ever black-dial flying tourbillon world timer with a titanium case and Gyrolab ba...
Girard Perregaux, in the Mid 2000's.
A superb tourbillon three gold bridges on the back. Then, in 2009 / 2010, GP came back with the WW TC Enamel Tourbillon. Best, Nicolas ...
GIMME THE ENAMEL ONE NOW!!!
Please please pleeeeeez.... Gosh that is just fantastic! Thanks Nico! Best E.
on the back, that's where the tourbillon should always be!
But maybe the flying one is actually trying to escape!
I would normally have guessed...
that it would be sub-$100k. However, the platinum will probably bring it to the mark. I'm more excited about the old Compressor bracelet being re-introduced in the Geophysic and Master Control lines, as evidenced by the "soft launch" of the Master Blacks ...
Yes, I guess / fear the same thing. Agree on the introduction of bracelets.
Even if I am not a fan of them, it is a good thing / smart decision. Best, Nicolas
With All The Reissues, I Am Surprised That...
... There has never been a Memovox with the inner-dial decorated by a cloisonne mosaic. Not that I've seen anyway. Have you? - Scott
Does anyone own one?
I have some questions to anyone who has handled or own one of these pieces.
Setting the minute hand
Unless i am missing something, it looks like there is no way to accurately set the minute hand? That might really bug me....
