You raised a valuable point about the TT Geophysic and the fact that it houses an automatic movement rather than a manual winding one. I can only agree. They made a cool watch,
While it could have also been a GREAT one.

Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Rose Gold Minute Repeater. Some Sunday picture.
A rectangular shaped minute repeater, that's quite unique. That was the case when it was launched in 1994, it is still the case nowadays. A real challenge to house a minute repeater in such a small case. But for Jaeger Lecoultre, when it comes to imaginat...
This is another example of the kind of watches that has build the JLC reputation.
Unfortunately it also shows us an audacity that the brand has somewhat lost in the recent years.
Yes,these are some good examples.
The new Cal 770/772 are certainly really nice and I hope that more of this will come in the next years.
IMO, those six commemorative pieces
which celebrating the 60th anniversary of reverso from 1991, represent the golden age of modern JLC. Each has a completely new and in-house movement, that realize a different complication, comes out at a relatively “affordable” price and an appropriate am...
Yes, still there’re innovative yet attractive models from JLC.
But what I mean is they somehow lose the spirit of a “watchmaker” compared to the 1990-2000s. For example is the TT reverso central second along with the TT geophysics, both using automatic movements just derived the soul of these historical models. Is it...

What I wouldn’t give to own that. I love Reversos and with that complication - amazing. Regards Kev.
👍 Happen to agree!
Though I deeply admire this entire series. I had a hard time choosing between the Chrono and the Geographique 🤔 . I ultimately went for the Chrono because of the exposed movement and the relative uniqueness of the shaped chrono caliber.
Superb watch and great Reverso
Also a great size - think the GT size has had some great complications in it, not only the 60th anniversary series, but also Duo, Date and more. The two from the series that stand out for me are the 60eme with power reserve and date and this one. Somethin...
I love this watch !
Minute repeater remains on my wish list and there are very few relatively affordable models for such complication and the Reverso is one of them (with the Portuguese for instance), hence it is on my wish list, even though I have never heard it. I love the...
