Introduction
First debuting in 1992, the Jaeger LeCoultre Master collection is a vintage-inspired family of timepieces rooted to the 1950s aesthetic of old with elegant dials, refined constructions and brilliantly executed movements – all benchmarks of JLC’s talents as a watchmaker. Offered here, we have the Master Geographic, an offering from within that Master collection that includes a world-time function that gives plenty of utility to its wearer. Boasting a 38mm stainless steel case and a silver dial with recessed subdials for its power reserve indicator, its pointer date and its second time zone and AM/PM indicator that both correspond to the city highlighted in the aperture at 6 o'clock, the Master Geographic showcases JLC’s dedication to finely finishing their timepieces from the inside out. Powered by the automatic cal. 929/3 movement that is encased behind a medallion-capped solid caseback, the Master Geographic reinforces the idea that JLC are the “Watchmaker’s watchmaker” with its exquisite attention to detail and stunning good looks.

THE DIAL
Boasting a stunning silver dial that is packed with information, the Master Geographic features recessed subdials for its power reserve indicator, its pointer date and its second time zone and AM/PM indicator that both correspond to the city highlighted in the aperture at 6 o'clock; Tokyo in the case of this example.

TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.

THE CONSTRUCTION
Featuring an impressively dense construction, the Master Geographic boasts a stainless steel 38mm case that combines polished and brushed surfaces to achieve its stunningly luxurious aesthetic that underpins JLC's exceptional talents as a watchmaker.
Condition
Watch is in excellent overall condition. Minor surface wear on the lugs and bezel. The dial is in excellent condition, with a pleasing slight aging of the power reserve and calendar subdial. The strap can be sized to accommodate a 6"- 8" wrist.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
A classically-inspired watch that remains understated on the wrist yet technically and aesthetically impressive, the Master Geographic is a horological masterclass as it perfectly infuses heritage-inspired design with high-level modern watchmaking.
