Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second – On the Wrist
Two weeks ago I spent the week with F.P. Journe’s high-end quartz creation, and then this past week, I’m back dabbling with Jaeger LeCoultre and another complication that can be a bit of a hard sell — the deadbeat seconds. I’m the first to admit that I — as with most of my fellow enthusiasts — am hardwired to love the delicate sweep of a mechanical seconds hand. The idea of a deadbeat, at a fundamental level, sounds convoluted, not to mention complicated for the sake of being complicated to most of us whose daily lives are by no means impacted by the accuracy of a ticking second hand. It would seem that my Week on the Wrist calendar has brought me a pair of challenging timepieces back-to-back.
