Hi,
After originally completely dismissing the idea of a 'ticking' mechanical watch and by that I am refering to the Jaeger geophysic true seconds, I am now being strangely drawn to the watch! I may now actually consider it as a next watch.
What do you guys think of the watch, or the concept?
Cheers!
master geophysic or master control (if want a mechanical equivalent), either way is a win-win.Quote:

Thanks
I personally think the true seconds is a better looking dial and case than the master control. Movement looks better imo also.
I already have a master memovox so probably wouldnt want another master series watch.
go for it man, geophysic is cool. my opinion, do the checkout!Quote:

Technically, an excellent watch, and if it really makes you tick, then even better!
The concept of a true-seconds watch is intriguing, though. I really like the addition of the complication in an intermediate tier watch like this. The democratization of high-end complications in the past years has been really refreshing in my opinion :)
Yeah, I know what you mean. I thought it was a bit boring and bland. Then the plain face and features started to appeal for some strange reason!
I think as an overall design its a grower and a slow burner as it surely isnt a design that has an instant wow factor.
Know this thread is old but I own a JLC geophysic true second and can honestly say it is fantastic. I find myself watching the hand tick, or listening close to hear the tick,tick,tick,TICK.
If it’s quiet you can hear the ceramic bearings whirr (in the right situation).
The watch lends itself imo to NATO straps, I’ve got a collection of many and it’s subtle nature makes it so versatile.
Also love the fact it’s not ubiquitous like Rolex and some other brands.

Welcome along. Any pics? :eagerness:
Request for pics seconded. I’m a big fan of the True Second - it’s an effortlessly classy watch

Shows the frosted dial nicely, also mine is the only one I’ve ever seen without the words ‘geophysic true second’ on the face. Super clean!
