Three pictures of the Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon.
Unveiled in 2017, this Geophysic was a good concept: A world time, with an orbital Tourbillon, which means that it turns with the dial.
My only concern is that it shows that when you enlarge a case too much, you loose its harmonious proportions.
Indeed, here, the case is 43, 5 mm big and 14, 87 mm high. The maximum this case can support is the Geophysic Univzrsal Time, with a diameter of 41, 6 mm, in my opinion.
The domed lacquered guilloché blue dial is eye catching, though.
But my main concern is the automatic movement. For a watch of that level, or you house a superb automatic movement, or you go manual!
Best,
Nicolas

Just because you can do it doesnt mean that you should... And in some ways, this is how I would summarize this watch.
We demand more Geophysic pieces in the vein of the true second and WT!
