Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor Pro Géographique. An old picture.
A picture taken while we were covering the Deep Sea Chronograph some 9 years ago, now.
The " Pro Geographique " was unveiled a bit before, and was a true conversation picture, due to its characteristics ( mechanical Depth meter ) and its size ( 46 mm +++ and a thickness which is way above what we are used to see and wear.
This one belongs to a good friend of mine, he used it as a tool watch, a daily beater, and he is not a professional diver.
Some will say that such a professional tool doesn't need to offer / be a Geographique, nor a GMT. I would say why not? It is sometimes better to have more than not enough.
I would well see something new to come, a new interpretation of a mechanical depth meter, with a less big system and in a more modest size. 44 mm would be better, and with a more restrained thickness.
Titanium is good for me. It allows to have less weight, more comfort on the wrist.
What about your feelings?
Best,
Nicolas

It never appealed to me but it wouldn’t because of its size.
It would be interesting to hear from someone who has one and uses the functions and could give an informed opinion. Regards Kev.
One of my grails!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Interesting beast. Thanks for sharing my friend! Best. René
