Jaeger-LeCoultre first used the chronometer on the iconic Geophysic timepiece, created in 1958 for the International Geophysical Year, which later gave rise to the popular Geophysic collection. Recently, the Maison has released a Limited Edition version of its iconic Geophysic True Second timepiece with an ocean blue dial, with the central cross, reminiscent oflocation-mapping instruments, as tribute to the original 1958 Geophysic model.

With this timepiece, you also don’t have to worry about not being able to tell the time in the dark, because the triple-faceted hands and minute track around the flange are coated in luminescent material. This watch gets its namesake from the automatic  Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 770 movement, which utilises the deadbeat seconds complication, or, what the Maison’s manufacture terms as the “True Second” Complication — which, in itself speaks volumes about the watch’s accuracy, This 40mm watch is limited to 100 numbered pieces worldwide, with “limited edition — one of 100” engraved around the perimeter of the timepiece.
