I know you have it BUT the question posed to you was "what are your modern top 5 my dear friend?"

Duometre UTT, QL Enamel 40, 5, Geophysic UT, Reverso Burgundy, Memovox Black Cal 914 and Reverso Gran Sport Chrono. Damn, that makes 6.


So since I did not see the Duo Chrono on the list of top 5 I was wondering, huh ? smile

Sunday Fantasy: Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic Universal Time.

 
 By: amanico : July 14th, 2019-01:57
The Geophysic Universal Time is in my top five modern Jaeger Lecoultre list, Gyrotourbillon apart. It is my favorite modern Geophysic. Probably because I have something for world time, but also because it houses a superb automatic movement, a modern calib...  

Beautiful view ! [nt]

Any Elf’s ? [nt]

Yes. A must. [nt]

Wow! And 4years later I took the same angled shot here!

Same watch too, during my visit in March. Agree with you on all the charm of this watch! it’s a keeper for me 👍 Best regards ...  

Between the jlc world timers and Patek which are the most user friendly?

 
 By: rip9er : July 16th, 2019-07:23
Although I absolutely love the beautiful dial artwork I can’t but think dual time/ gmt watches are more useful from a practical standpoint. Am I wrong?

I would say the Patek, because you can move the city ring, but other than that, the JLC has the advantage of its second hand which is, moreover, a dead second!

 
 By: amanico : July 16th, 2019-08:23
As for the more useful function of a GMT or Dual Time, it is simpler, and different, since you don't have the time in the whole world, but only in another time zone.

Thanks for the enlightening explanation. Ive never really paid attention to world timers as I thought they were simply dual time watches with cities etched into the dial.

 
 By: rip9er : July 17th, 2019-05:56
It totally passed over my head that the cities are not only there to set as reference city which your currently situated in.

Forgive my ignorance or forgetfulness, but what are your modern top 5 my dear friend?

 
 By: watchthatman : July 17th, 2019-06:50
I’d put the duo UTT there, along with the reverso blue GRUT blue and red. Septantieme if we can count it. It’s a tough exercise!!!! Too many out there!

Soon I hope!! [nt]

 
 By: watchthatman : July 17th, 2019-09:07

Done? You saw it? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 18th, 2019-13:03

huh...I think you forgot the Duometre à Chronographe in your top 5 list LOL...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : July 22nd, 2019-13:45
and as you have stated many times in the past, it IS your favorite modern JLC besides the Gyro 1 so I was a little surprised you forgot it on this list

I picked this up last month, really happy with every detail about it. After contemplating different worldtimers this was my choice, is a complete and clever world timer beautifuly finished and with an unusual complication. Is there anybody that has had th... 

Bienvenido aqui, Andres. Some answers...

Yes, the Geophysic line will be discontinued. Jaeger Lecoultre will play with the Polaris, not the Geophysic anymore, which is a pity, if you ask me, as I really like the Geophysic case. I don't own the Geophysic, but I admire the UT since Day One. So, 4 ... 

Great to know

 
 By: Andres_Felipe_Gomez : July 22nd, 2019-06:55
Thanks Nicolas So sad they discontinued the line.. The polaris appeals to me in a different way.. I’m happy I was able to pick it up before, at nice discount and with the 8 year warranty 😊 Just one more thing.. I noticed you visited the manufacture, is it...
