Jaeger-LeCoultre

Elegant, complcated, sporty ... yet understated.

 

My photograph leaves a lot to be desired, but not my passion for this understated and highly functional world timer. The design is a wonderful marriage between elegance and sport.

Hours, Minutes, sweep seconds, stop seconds for precise adjustments with the crown at 3 pulled out, date & day/night indictaion at 2. Second time zone and day/night indication at six with window displaying the country easily adjusted unidirectionally with the crown at 10. Power reserve indication. Adjustments for dayligfht savings... what else could you ask of a world timer?

The manufacture caliber 937 may appear a little industrious, but the finishing is nice and certainly provides good value. The watch is very reliable with no problems after two years

and keeps wonderfully accurate time within 1-2 seconds/day.

This is exactly the kind of Time Keeper I love.

A Friendly complicatin in a reliable watch.

As for the look, the previous version was a bit dressier, while this one is a bit sportier.

But in any case, a nice and understated watch.

The movement uses modern technics as ceramic balls, and agree with you on the finish.

A watch to love, and to live with.

Thanks for this Love Song!



Best,

This watch has caught my attention for quite some time, but I have not jumped yet. I think what stops me is the relative "strong" presence of the power reserve. I am afraid that its hand interferes with hour/minute hands to disturb readability of the dial a bit.

what do you think?

I actually enjoy the power reserve indicator since my Master Control Geographic is in a regular rotation and i need to wind it every so often. The hour and minute hands pass over/on top of the power reserve indicator. Also the power reserve indicator/hand is a darker color than the hour and minute hands so there is some distinction. Admittedly, the dial can appear busy, but I've never had trouble with the legibility of the primary time or second time zone. I would like to see the case improvements implemented on the new Master Hometime to the Master Geographic. Perhaps there is room for improvement in the design. I think they could do wonders aesthetically if they could display the power reserve on the back of the movement or maye even reduce its presence on the dial.

although technically it may be a bigger challenge than it seems with the rotating mass of the automatic movement.

I'm really attracted to the Master Control series.  Thanks for your pictures.  The watch looks great on your wrist!

Cheers,

First many thanks for your pictures.

The Master Geographic has always attracted and interested me; I have owned a few since its first appearance in late 90's, up until the Singapore Airline version. Since then I have continued to looking at the newest and latest version which I always found simply stunning.

I made mistakes, I went with other world timers without ever finding happiness and most of all reliability I had with my Master Geographic (s) … May be sometimes soon I will return to sport one more of those perfectly executed and extremely functional timepieces.

 

Souvenir...

Yes, the 38 mm plantinum limited edition Master Geographic is a beauty. I would love to see a platium or white gold version when they redesign the model.

It is a great combination watch- both dressy and sporty at the same time
enjoy it
cheers

Yes, it's one of the best looking and most "value-for-the-moneish" this last years, IMO.
