Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic Universal Time. Because we miss the world!
At least with this watch, we have the whole world at one glance, on our wrist or in our eyes. That's the magic of these world time watches... They give us some freedom when we miss it the most. Best, Nicolas ...
I wanna play, too
One of the top world timers for me. Thank you for the reminder, Nicolas! Cheers, respo ...
Not meaning to pry, but the globe strikes me as something that might have surfaced in New England. (I spent 35+ summers in NH, and spent a decent amount of time in
book barnes and antique shops on the Maine coast.) The object just screams "Melville!" at me, so I'm curious. No harm if you'd rather not say. Congratulations, again. That globe is far more rare than the watch!

I've read quite extensively about the movement, that it is derived from the autotractor series, the incredible true second mechanism and that the idea behind including the function in the Geophysic line was to demonstrate JLC's efforts for increased accur...

Dear Nico, thank you for pointing me to your review. Didn't know this one.
The information on the accuracy of the Geophysic 1958 came from Hodinkee www.hodinkee.com at 1:21. Thanks again, Hendrik
Very nice watch. Wonderful picture. 👍
Your really a Connoisseur in world time watches my friend. It is good to be focused in your collection. 😊 Geross
I prefer the steel bracelet and here's why...
The steel bracelet helps counter the weight of the watch and has quick micro adjustments like Rolex's Easy Link. It is also close to a 'beads of rice' type bracelet which is very comfortable. The bracelet end links do extend past the lugs where as the str...
