Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Good. This watch has been enjoyed as a regular wearer. It shows visible signs of use, including surface scratches and light swirling across the polished steel surfaces. There are no deep structural gouges, and the watch retains its distinctive aesthetic.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The blue lacquered dial, featuring an engraved map of the world, is in excellent condition. The luminous hands and hour markers are pristine. The sapphire crystal is clear, providing an unobstructed view of the intricate dial.
Case & Bezel: The 41.6mm stainless steel case shows consistent surface wear from daily life. The high-polish bezel and brushed case flanks exhibit light marks that reflect its history of use. The exhibition caseback remains clear.
Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: This timepiece is currently fitted with a high-quality aftermarket leather strap. Please note that the original Jaeger-LeCoultre strap and deployant buckle are not included with this watch.
Technical Specifications
Reference: Q8108420
Case Size: 41.6mm
Case Material: Stainless Steel
Dial: Blue Lacquered with Engraved World Map
Movement: Calibre 772 (In-house Automatic)
Power Reserve: Approximately 40 Hours
Water Resistance: 50m (5 bar)
Notable Details: "True Second" dead-beat seconds hand (ticks precisely once per second), Gyrolab® non-circular balance wheel for improved efficiency, 24-city world time ring, and 1000 Hours Control certification.
What Makes the Geophysic Universal Time Special
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Universal Time is a watch for the technical purist. Its most striking feature is the "True Second" complication; while most mechanical watches feature a sweeping seconds hand, the Calibre 772 is engineered to tick precisely once per second. This "dead-beat" second was historically found in marine chronometers and scientific instruments where absolute precision in reading the second was paramount.
The dial is equally impressive, featuring a world map with matte-finished continents against a deep blue lacquered "ocean." As a true world timer, it allows you to read the time in 24 time zones simultaneously. All functions, including the jumping local hour hand, are controlled via the single crown—a testament to JLC's engineering prowess. Despite the aftermarket strap and the aged box, the watch itself remains a sophisticated piece of horology that stands out for its mechanical uniqueness and global utility.
