Jaeger Lecoultre Master Control Géographique ( 2020 Collection ). Some thoughts.
In Summer 2020, I could review almost all the new Master Control watches at the exception of two, the Master Control Date, and the Master Control Géographique, which were not there when I spent a whole afternoon at the Paris Boutique for a photo session. ...
Strong offer and a real classic
Seeing the photos, it seems it's hard to tell the time of the steel version because of it's silver hands and dial.
Nice refinements

Thank you!
I have been talking about this for years…no idea why it can’t be…and honestly it probably doesn’t even have to add much cost. To the companies: the WRONG city (for me) PREVENTS me from buying your world time watch. There are a few out there which I would ...
Great review!
I never knew of this first version, I love it! Look at the case. After that, my black dial, which is a keeper. -Kevin
Awesome post
I share your thoughts on a new black or blue dial. The red accents really pop against a darker dial.
I like this new 2020 series very much.
For me JLC made everything right here. To be able to choose your own cities indeed would be great. They would only need to offer 8-10 different discs. I'm thinking of the Rolex Day Date, where you can also order the days of the week in different languages...
This is version 5 (you forgot one)....
Not counting the Compressor Geographic with depth gauge, this is the 5th generation with this one left out of the mix... (V3) ....(courtesy of Chrono24) ...
