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 would re-instate - 250 pieces of each new model in platinum with hinged case backs (except the 34mm MUT), white subdial hands (great for legibility) and navy straps. The last model to be launched was the Master Compressor Memovox - which was a VERY heavy watch (and I think the Master Grande Memovox the year before, if memory serves correctly). But today's slightly larger pieces: Master Ultra Thin Date, MUT 41, MUT Moon would be welcome additions in platinum with the blue dial/strap combos.
(Funny enough, when JLC launched the Master Blacks, they all appeared on honey-brown alligator. I initially hated it, but after 2 or 3 years of looking at them I warmed up to them - even going as far as wearing black slacks and shirts with brown shoes and belts.)

Jaeger Lecoultre Master Geographique Steel Black Dial pictures.

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 ...
This one looks very nice.....

I always liked the Geographique

and the black looks very nice, but my first choice would still be the silver dial.
This Watch Has It All

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. ...
Very Much The Case For Me

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...

I like the black dial as well.

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. ...
Stop it!

Stop right now! ;-))
I like this one a lot...

and in many ways, I think the new UT probably took over where this one left off.
This is an icon of modern horology

Black series was exemplary
By: jml_watches : November 4th, 2015-13:28
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...
Love that series

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 ...
