Jaeger-LeCoultre

Possibly.

 

In my experience, this a watch with unbelievable complications that hold their own regardless of the dial:

- Ability to set “away time: to any unique hour and minute.

- Instant jump hour for away time

- Rotating globe to show the away time zone

- Shaded sapphire disk around the globe to show whether it is am or pm in the away time zone

- Zero reset for seconds hand like a Lange Sax-O-May

A watch with any one of these complications would be impressive, but to pack them all in a single watch could only be done by JLC.

I suspect the watchmakers at JLC did it to remind the world what a powerhouse they are, if only they are allowed to do what they are capable of. I think they jumped the shark on this without management realizing what they packed here. Pure speculation because the watchmaking was 10/10 on this watch but the marketing 2/10 in my opinion.
