Jaeger Lecoultre Travel Watches: Which one is your favorite?

Geophysic Universal Time, with its new movement, and its dead second? 







Polaris Chronograph World Time, with its titanium case and its association of complications: 



Or the latest steel Memovox Geographique World Time, with its unique combination of a time zone and a world time: 



One thing is sure, world time watches are dear to Jaeger Lecoultre, and given the diversity, it is a good thing for us, if we want to find ours. 

I still have to see the latest Polaris Geographique World Time, but my heart will wave between this one and the Geophysic World Time which I find very interesting and appealing. 

And you? 

Best,

Nicolas

My take

I have been in a market for a world time for some time but none click or check all my wants as of yet I like the Geophysic but the dead second is something that for me is a big negative Not sure why but i just do not like it. I really like the Geophysic T... 

Geo UT...the best of the bunch IMO.

A special movement and complication elevates it above the rest. Cheers, John

A turn-off for some, but a private pleasure for others.

I understand the objections. The accelerated, staccato tick-tick of a mechanical watch is special, but a dead-second complication is a private pleasure for the owner, IMO, which has a certain appeal. Not to exclude anyone, but a watch for a connoisseur, f... 

Seconds hand of the Geophysic

I finally got to see two different Geophysic UT in person while in France. One one seemed to be lined up perfectly but the other one -- certain markers not exact alignment. IT was off the same amount at each marker every 60 seconds. Some of the ticks hit ... 

+1 with your choices.. & As I already am the happy owner of the Geophysic UT, which I’ve taken several times for travels..

.. I am pretty sure to also choose the Polaris Geographique WT, which I really find cool. And I also can’t wait to see it in real ! Best, hs

Dead Seconds Question

 
 By: mark1958a : June 25th, 2018-09:38
At each click.. Does the seconds hand align exactly with the seconds marker on the dial? In some of the videos i have seen it looks like some of the second markers and hand do not line up and I am not sure if that is real or due to the angle the video was... 

Can't speak universally, of course...

...but of the specimens I've seen (probably 3-4 pieces), they've all lined up precisely with the minute marks.

Don't line up ?

You have seen the seconds hand and the marker not line up.. is it off the same on each tick or only at some of the markers ?
