Jaeger Lecoultre Geomatic, another hidden treasure.
Living in the shadow of the Geophysic, the Geomatic is a watch which should deserve a better consideration.
Less rare ( a bit more than 4300 pieces ), produced in a longer period, from 1962 to the end of the 60's, this watch is the ancestor of the... Master Control Date.
Here in steel ( 2000 pieces ),
Credit picture: Shruck the oyster:
And here in rose gold ( 773 pieces )
With its legendary medallion:
Its reliable chronometer movement, Cal 881 and 883:
And its box, papers and wallet!
A great reference!
Best,
Nicolas

Real personality.
I like these kind of 60ies watches. I could see this one on the wrist of commissaire Swan Laurence
It sure would be!
I'm curious to know, how your idea is going to be transformed into a picture, commissaire Nico...
That was to be expected.
Somehow I was under the impression you knew someone, who ownes that French masterpiece known as Facel Vega and would take a picture in his/her car My mistake. Volvo P1800 will do just as fine.
I often feel the urge to refresh my knowledge of certain languages.
In my opinion that's best to be done to visit a certain country and stay there for a few weeks. Due to work, family et cetera, that's not always possible, so I refresh it by looking at certain TV series. "Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie" I just stum...
thank you, Sir!
very crisp condition. I wear it regularly. mostly in summer with a bit of a tan its perfect.
Lots to like about this reference...
Especially the reverse engraving. At 36mm it’s also good on the wrist under a shirt cuff. Sadly, finding a clean dial is becoming more difficult.
Such a clean, simple, straightforward dial — a time machine back to the 60’s. Beautiful!
Love the case back medallion, as well — classic.
Great E399
Congrats , I am trying to source a NOS dial for my steel E399 (it may have finish at JLC service bench but I would rather avoid it). Again congrats - I love the case design (lugs) on the steel one best R
