JLC: Geophysic True second.

Recommended Posts

frapzzor

After reading the story @ Hodinkee (https://www.hodinkee...sic-true-second)

I'm somewhat in love, and even though the movement seem to be a minor ingineering wonder this should be easy to rep, just slap a quartz movement in there and no one will notice the diffrence, if they don't turn the watch around that is.

loving the clean look of the dial and the sleek hands. If they deside to rep this I'll be first in line.

 

And hopefully they'll rep the Geophysic universal time aswell.

what do you think gang? do we think they'll rep this?

So much want! The ss 3 hander and rg world time are just stunningly understated and marvels of horology... dead seconds is such a pointlessly awesome complication

So they are now charging a fortune for a mechanical watch which can mimic a quartz tick. Unbelievable.

yeah I would never pay 9000$ for a watch that looks like a quartz. but you got to hand it to them for how overcomplex they've made it. it would be easier even for them to just slap a quartz movement in there and a sticker of a mechanical movement on the back then to go the long way. but in the end that should make it easier to rep!

You made a topic, now you have to keep it alive for a least 3 years. :D ( reverso 1931 style ) and maybe they'll made a super quartz rep.

So like a Seiko Spring Drive. :o

Nice pics, I quite like the Geophysic, it's very clean in design as well. I love the map part of the watch. I'm wondering as well if there'd be a replica made of it and who would produce it.

I wore a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Date (say that 5 times fast!) for years.

 

It's been retired ever since I had it on one evening when I took a spill on a motorcycle.

One day I'll probably use the ETA inside it for something else...case is scratched up bad as one might imagine tho

Bumping this thread so rep factories don't forget. Please rep this watch. especially the Universal time. I think the rotating worldtime ring is pretty unique.

Great looking for making 2 reps out of them.

For JLC - 60 additional, mechanical parts to make it look like a quartz ticker, than call it true second?

The ticking second hand goes on the nerves and it is the only thing that keeps me away from the quartz reliability.

Sure, I like to look at the beauty of mechanical wonders, but one thing is to look and another is to pay for, maintain and keep them running like they should.

Race drivers also change tires after a few rounds around the circuit, it´s just not for common mortals.

Has anyone made a rep of the universal time? I tried one on the other day and that is what brought me here. What a fantastic piece.

The more my tastes mature, the more I really like the JLC's. Right now I have an eye out for the Master Ultra thin reserve which is repped.

One sold over on RWI in M2M no idea about what is working in it (not much I would think) but the rep do exist
