Greetings and welcome to the world of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Today's I'll be your guide to the highlights and features of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Geographic 39 millimeters in stainless steel. You can see this automatic winding world time timepiece from Jaeger-LeCoultre along with the entire family of Jaeger-LeCoultre complications and simple watches. On our website govbergwatches.com. Now this timepiece was one of the sensations of SIHH 2017 when Jaeger-LeCoultre rolled out its new family of steel cased 39 millimeter master sector dial watches, of which the Geographic seen here may be the most useful and universal.

Let's start with the outside and work our way in. A classic low-profile Jaeger-LeCoultre steel pin buckle for easy, on-the-fly adjustments is made into a beautifully rich navy blue alligator leather strap minimally bolstered as it approaches the swell of the lugs. It features a dark monotone stitch and folded edges. The case is wonderfully nuanced featuring a hairline polished bevel about satin finished case flanks, polished lug tops. You can see the contrast between the polish of the bevel, the polish of the crown for the reference ring, the polish of the double-stepped bezel against the satin grained finish of the case flank, which beautifully links case band to case band, lug to lug.

Now the dial is the star of the show with this watch, as with its two brethren within the 2017 catalog. It's the combination of the sector demarcations that visually segment the dial using transferred black and blue highlights. Of course, the watch features baton-style hands with syringe extensions at center. Beautiful cobalt blue with a Lontz seconds hand. The watch is easy to read at a glance and it features, perhaps the kind of complications, certainly the most practical, a second time zone, but not just any second time zone. This is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geographic system. Dual time watches are outstanding, yet they do force you to do a little bit of math as you jump time zones or change your reference to follow friends and business associates.

World time watches offer you all the world's time zones simultaneously, but they can be puzzling to read and chaotic in appearance. The Geographic system rationalizes it, doing both the math and allowing you to have 24 principle time zones just like the globe itself. Now let's say I'm in Philadelphia so my reference time is New York, but I want to see what time it is where my business associates in Los Angeles are residing. You can see how the reference time, which features a 24 day-night indicator at its 9:00 station, automatically does the math jumping to the correct time for Los Angeles. So I start with synchronized reference in Central Time and by jumping to my new reference city, the watch does the math for me moving the time zone adjustment forward or backwards. Now there's another feature that I can engage by crown out one detent. Now I can set that reference time zone independently should I wish to set the time zone without moving the world time reference ring.

The watch features on it case back a site arguably as beautiful as the dial, perhaps even more so to those with an engineering bent. Now this is Jaeger-LeCoultre's caliber 939 automatic. The watch features 34 jewels, automatic winding via una directional action with high efficiency, high tech ceramic rotor bearings for better performance and reduced maintenance. All of it pivots on 34 jewels oscillating at a modern four hertz or 28,800 vibrations per hour.

It does feature the dual time functionality. It does feature hacking or stop seconds that allow you to synchronize the watch to a reference time by halting the seconds hand. What it also features is ultra thin construction and beautiful finish in the form of linear coat [dejenev 00:04:36]. You can see the textured striations across the bridges and the skeletonized golden winding mass, as well as heat blued kiln oxidized screws for assembly and you can see that there's a tight prolonge engine turning across the base plate.

Moreover if you note the balance assembly, you'll see that the balance index is free sprung. All of the adjustment for the rate and timing of the watch being done using variable inertia balance bolts on the balance itself to take and hold a precise regulation at the onset after service as well as in the long term as bumps, vibrations and disruptions affect the time piece on the wrist.

As with all Jaeger-LeCoultre calibers, save the caliber 101 micro movement, caliber 939 in this Master Geographic has passed the 1000 hours proprietary test of case step chronometry as well as power reserve and durability.
