Top 10 Introducing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph 25th Anniversary Replica Watches Young Professional

As you can see, the three brand new dial options are Electric Blue, Military Marble, and Tiger’s Eye. But before we speak more about the newest dial options let’s see the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Big Duo Small Second watch. It is available in a stainless steel case and also steps 47mm by 28.3mm and can be 10.3mm thick, which means it is very modestly sized. It has two faces – hence the Duo name – driven with one motion, allowing it to show time in 2 time zones. Water-resistance is 30 meters.The movement inside is the hand-wound JLC Calibre 854A/2, which is a somewhat straightforward movement that defeats at 3Hz and is made out of 160 parts with 19 stone. Power reserve is a standard-range 40 hours.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Big Duo Little Second watch includes two dials that the wearer may flip between together with the watch still on the wrist (in the event you’re not familiar with all the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso concept). The main watch dial is in silver and includes a vertical brushed finish and a hands guilloche centre with a small seconds indicator at 6 o’clock. The hands are blued for an extra touch of elegance. All in all, like most other Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watches, the primary dial of this Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Big Duo Small Second oozes lots of Art Deco cool and elegance.If you reverse the situation around, you will be greeted with the next Travel Time dial. On the standard Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large Duo Small Second watch, this dial includes Clous de Paris engraving and a handy day/night indicator. Now, however, there are three new dial options featuring exotic stones. Let’s enter these three brand new dial options at the moment.
If you are searching in the $5,000 to $10,000 range and are searching for an everyday watch from a fantastic brand with a distinctive yet vintage charm, any one of those three will likely fit your bill. Slim pickings or not, these sector dial Master models from JLC were easily some of my favorite new models exhibited at SIHH and will probably prove to be quite popular in the approaching months.One of the most visually impressive watches of SIHH 2017 was the first “universal time tourbillon” by Swiss Jaeger-LeCoultre, and it is predictably bold and really quite expensive. Before the SIHH 2017 watch trade series, we debuted the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon watch here. Our David clarified how this “top notch” Geophysic constructed on the contemporary retro-inspired collection of watches which is, in turn, based on a variety of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches in the 1950s. Unlike the standard group of Geophysic watches using their “true second” (dead-beat) ticking seconds palms, the 2017 Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon combines a world-time complication using an “orbital” flying tourbillon – in a somewhat visually stunning manner.While that the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon watch is neat-looking in images, you need to observe this watch at operation to appreciate it. First, there is the ritzy solid-platinum situation that’s 43.5mm broad. It is comfortable on the wrist and also clearly more eye-catching than the majority of the remainder of the Geophysic set – particularly the three-hand versions. Obviously, that the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon assembles on the normal Geophysic Universal Time (hands-on here) that is a smart combination of a watch nerd-themed, in-house-made automatic movement using the “true second” ticking seconds hand and the world-time indicator.
The 2017 Jaeger-LeCoultre Master trio all endure roughly the same sector dial design, skeletonised baton hands, and black markers together with light blue accents. With a straightforward but comprehensive two-tone flow, the outer element is brushed while the inner ring is grained, and the effect is lovely. The sector markings are black and the date display uses a white date wheel using glowing blue numerals. The palms, much like all 3 versions, are a skeletonised baton style that appears black in person but reveals as blued steel on JLC’s website.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Mater Control Date’s 39mm-wide instance is merely 8.5mm thick, as a result of the slender JLC 899/1 automatic movement inside. The 899/1 is a 4Hz movement with a 38-hour power book given by a single barrel. On wrist, the Date is easy-wearing and beautiful, with a slender profile and excellent legibility. This 12-hour chronograph has a 30-minute sub dial without a date. The equilibrium of this dial layout is not to be understated and of the 3 new versions, the chronograph actually sets the blue accents to best use. The outside tachymetre scale along with the chronograph scales are all left in this cool, saturated light blue. Combined with the stark legibility of these black accents and the baton hands, the blue handles to bring a young flare to the look.
The general look is surely vintage-inspired, but much like some of the new-vintage layouts for the Reverso, these sector dial versions stand on their own and the chronograph has a mass appeal that’s hard to contend with. It is 39mm wide and rocking JLC’s signature Geographic GMT complication, the Master Geographic shows two time zones (along with AM/PM in the away zone). The second timezone is selected using a town disk at six along with the crown in 10. If you’ve ever used this complication you’ll know it is a practical and easy-to-manage GMT function that borrows just enough out of a planet timer to be greater than your casual GMT.The dial layout is more asymmetrical (using the offset am/pm indication), but I think this is the trendiest of the three versions. The sector dial blends nicely with the complication, and I think the GMT is only the ideal functionality to get a yearlong everyday watch. The other and all the Geographic complication is that it works both when changing time zones for travel, or assessing other time zones when connecting with coworkers or friends.Those that understand JLC’s offerings understand that they have a good deal of beautifully made watches under $10,000. Therefore, while the price point of those sector dial versions is appealing (particularly against the backdrop of SIHH), the actual achievement here’s the accessible sizing as well as the designs which are both lovely and distinctive among their sisters. While I am certain that a few will take umbrage with the deficiency of lume or the highly vintage-inspired hand choice, the design works really well when viewed as a whole.
If you’re hunting in the $5,000 to $10,000 range and are looking for an everyday watch from a fantastic brand with a distinctive yet vintage charm, any one of these three will likely fit your bill. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date will retail for a price of $5,700 USD, with all the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Chronograph selling for $8,000, and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Geographic claiming $9400. Slim pickings or not, these industry dial Master versions from JLC were easily some of my favorite new versions exhibited at SIHH and will likely end up being very well known in the coming months.One of the most visually striking watches of SIHH 2017 was the first “universal time tourbillon” by Swiss Jaeger-LeCoultre, and it’s predictably daring and indeed very expensive.

Prior to the SIHH 2017 watch trade series, we debuted the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon watch here. Our David explained how this “top-of-the-line” Geophysic constructed on the modern retro-inspired group of watches that is, in turn, dependent on a variety of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches from the 1950s. Contrary to the conventional group of Geophysic watches with their “true second” (dead-beat) ticking seconds palms, the 2017 Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon combines a world-time complication using an “orbital” flying tourbillon – at a rather visually stunning manner.While the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon watch is neat-looking in images, you need to see this watch in operation to love it. First, there is the ritzy solid-platinum case that’s 43.5mm broad. It is comfortable on the wrist and clearly more eye-catching than the majority of the remainder of the Geophysic set – especially the three-hand models. Obviously, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon builds on the normal Geophysic Universal Time (hands-on here) which is a clever combination of a watch nerd-themed, in-house-made automatic motion using the “true second” ticking seconds hand and the world-time index.
Jaeger-LeCoultre asserts that guilloche-style machine engraving can be used for the look of the oceans on the “Earth dial” that is at the middle of the world-time display disc. It’s not a particularly useful dial facility, but it’s visually attractive and is precisely what some folks believe makes the Geophysic, nicely, the Geophysic. Other Geophysic watch set themes along that exact same vein include little points of luminant applied around the periphery of this dial.On the wrist, so you receive a coherently “actual” tool watch with the added appeal of decoration with the blue lacquer-covered guilloche partial-globe, precious substances in the platinum case, and of course, mechanical exclusivity in the haute horology motion. Of course, this all comes at a cost. Future versions in less precious metal might cost a bit less, but the limited edition of 100 bits mention Q8126420 Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time Tourbillon in platinum is priced at around $145,000. Bucking the current trend in watchmaking where ‘older’ is hot, but ‘too-old’ isn’t, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso spent the year celebrating its 85th birthday using the Tribute Calendar declared at SIHH 2016 — a totally modern, yet closely preserved icon which we recently had a chance to encounter in 18k rose gold. Even those a little more weary of the omnipresent Reverso will probably understand that the execution of watches like this one is precisely why the line has come to define Jaeger-LeCoultre, for better or worse.85 years is a long time. And in all that time since, the Reverso has largely escaped significant alteration to the double-sided swiveling case construction and art deco design terminology, yielding one of those impossibly classic watches that just never gets old — quite literally and figuratively. And while it is horribly easy to lose count of the myriad of versions we have seen over the years, one thing is certain — that the Reverso is a veritable time capsule, beloved and readily counted amongst the ranks of different icons such as the Rolex Submariner, Omega Speedmaster Professional, or even the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak — just this watch predates the aforementioned by several decades each.

Originally a wristwatch made for explorers and scientist in the 1950s, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic was reissued last year as a limited edition. Now the name has been applied to a new line of watches conceived with the same philosophy of functionality and vintage-inspired styling. The Geophysic Universal Time is the most elaborate of the Geophysic collection, featuring a simplified world time function and deadbeat seconds.

The entry-level Geophysic is the True Second wristwatch equipped with the calibre 770 that shows the time and date, along with a deadbeat seconds that ticks along at one second intervals, just like a quartz watch (remember to check out our detailed review of it).

The simplified world time

Powered by calibre 772, the Geophysic Universal Time has the addition of an easy to use world time function. A traveller has to first set the time, along with the 24-hour and cities discs, so the time in every time zone can be read via the disc.

Separately the hour hand can be set to local time, both forwards or backwards in one hour increments via the crown. In short, the hour hand can be set each time the wearer’s time zone changes, without affecting the synchronised cities and 24-hour discs. And the hour hand can be set independently of the minute hand, so time synchronisation is not affected when crossing time zones.

The whole world on the face

While the world time function has been simplified, the dial is elaborate and attractive. Depicting a stylised map of the world, it’s lacquered blue for the oceans, with the continents in gilded relief. Up close all the elements of the dial are neatly executed and finished, with the applied hour markers and logo deserving note.

Though simple in form, the hour markers are faceted on their edges, as are the hands. This gives the dial a sense of quality that flat markers and hands cannot achieve. Similarly the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo at 12 o’clock is applied, adding to the sense of depth on the world map dial.

Calibre 772

From the back the view of the movement is typical of Jaeger-LeCoultre. The movement is decorated attractively, albeit by machine. All the bridges are finished with Geneva stripes, as is the solid gold rotor, though the stripes on the rotor are more mechanical in appearance, with harsh, well defined graining.

Just below the rotor the bridge for the deadbeat seconds mechanism is visible, with the tiny spring that gives the seconds hand its one-second tick visible through an aperture. Because the deadbeat seconds is an addition on top of the movement, the watch is somewhat thick, at 11.84 mm high. Like the movement in the basic Geophysic True Second, the calibre 772 inside the Universal Time is fitted with the Gyrolab balance wheel. Shaped like the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo, the Gyrolab has adjustable weights for regulation, as well as a profile that gives it less air friction when running.

Specs and pricing

The case is 41.6 mm in diameter, and available in pink gold or stainless steel. The Geophysic Universal Time will cost US$25,000 in pink gold and US$15,000 in steel, before taxes. In Singapore, the prices are S$36,900 and S$21,900 respectively, including tax.
