Just picked up the rose gold version of the Geophysic 1958, 1 of 300 for $7K and still has the 100m WR. Gorgeous. Of course I have confirmation bias but there are many subtle details from the pebbles of the white dial to the lume pips on the rehaut. The latter is a practical interpretation of the 1958 original which had them mounted on the underside of the crystal and were subsequently lost when the crystal was replaced.

Hi Bill. On the outside looking in, conservative they may be, but the quality and integrity is certainly there. So far as JLC is concerned, I wonder if being known by many as simply the "Reverso" company is more of a curse than a blessing?

Great video Bill. I agree with you, the draw for all three wathces are the movements. I really enjoy the true seconds feature of the second watch. I am a big fan of simple, easy to read dials, and I love the dials on the first two because they are simple. What I don't understand is the lume on the hands of both of those watches. I think they would have looked much better without the lume. The Geophysic Universal time looks great, although a little pricey (after all it is a JLC). The Montbanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum has a similar look at half the price, but the Montblanc movement (MB 29.20) is also automatic running at 4Hz and is based on a Selita SW 350-1. Best regards, Brian

Very interesting, Bill. I do like that basic three hand Geophysic. I love boring watches and find great satisfaction in wearing a watch that can do it all - light work on the farm and a nice dinner out! It's a surprisingly rare thing, outside Rolex! It seems auto me s though JLC downgraded the Geophysic line with the Master Control line that effectively replaced it. And the prices went up! I'd be interested in your view of the movement changes.

Hi James. The Master Control line did absorb some of the Geophysic line, but did they also use the same movements? Take care, Bill

Everything that Angus said is a far better explanation than I could give. The unique aspect of my DTZ Parmigiani is that it also has dual night/day indicators for those of us who live in the world of am/pm. Lyrique is working on a Zulu time pilot's watch where a 24hour hand is absolutely necessary. In my pilot days, all communication (including local) was in Zulu time using a 24hour reference. Miss the wild blue yonder...🥲 Take care, Bill
