Why I Bought The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time
In 2015, a trip from Amsterdam to Brussels led to the discovery of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time, a watch that left a lasting impression due to its striking design and innovative features, including a world-map dial and a unique deadbeat seconds function. Although initially deterred by the watch's price, the allure of its craftsmanship and the Gyrolab balance wheel, which enhances energy management and accuracy, remained in memory. Years later, a compelling offer for a new-old-stock Geophysic Universal Time prompted a purchase, fulfilling a long-held desire for a travel watch. With its 41.6mm steel case, the watch combines athletic elegance and practicality, allowing for simultaneous display of 24 time zones. The thoughtful design elements, such as luminescent hour markers and a visually striking dial, enhance readability. The watch is celebrated not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its exceptional finishing and functionality. Now, as a cherished addition to a collection, it embodies timeless sophistication, ready to accompany on adventures across various time zones.
