Jaeger Lecoultre Geophysic Universal Time.A nice picture
While I am working on the Geophysic Saga, I found a nice picture, showing the Geophysic Universal Time in all its beauty.
Here you can see the nice brushed side case, the neat bevels, and this incredible and very charming dial, with its round luminous dots.
And well, the so so strap, I have to say.
Best,
Nicolas
Thank you Nico. A GMT/world time is one complication that is missing from my humble collection.
This one ticks the box except that the legibility is not optimal IMO. The hands sometimes looks to be lost in the dial (a beautiful dial, I must say).

Well, you know the saying... We spend more time admiring it than reading it. ;) [nt]

Thanks for a beautiful picture my friend, a great looking WT. Agree on the strap change, perhaps I’d put a blue alligator rather than black😀 [nt]

At the point I ma considering getting it after my Duometre UTT and QL Enamel priorities! [nt]

The case design and dial are/were magnicient!
If it came in a sweep seconds, it probably would have taken off. (Most people didn't get it.)

Yes, Dean, you are right. But this is the beauty and the interest of this watch. That's also why I like it that much. [nt]

The case is so well done...
and it sits really well on the wrist with its compact lugs. I love the contrasting brushed and polished surfaces.
The dial of course is terrific--one of JLC's best in recent years.
The strap doesn't bother me because there is so much going on with the dial already. Do we need a Baroque picture frame to feature an already spectacular painting? Simple matte black works well here, IMO, although it would have been better with a tapered strap to 18mm rather than 21mm un-tapered dimensions.

Tapered strap, yes, definitely, but a nice calf would look even better than this too rigid croc... A very good modern JLC, this Geophysic UT... [nt]

The rigidity is a problem, very true. It is a thick strap which makes this worse. [nt]
