A Week On The Wrist: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second
You first heard about the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second here on HODINKEE back in September, and the watch, as you would expect from a descendant from the original Geophysic – one of the most famous cult-collectible watches not only from JLC but of all time – generated a lot of excitement. The earlier Geophysic 1958 models, from 2014, which you can take a look at here if you need a quick refresher, were a real crowd pleaser, as you would expect from their very close resemblance to the original 1958 chronometer grade, antimagnetic (to 600 Gauss) watches made to celebrate the International Geophysical Year. The new Geophysic True Second, however, is more than just a celebration of the original – it is, as we reported at launch, very much a new interpretation of the idea of a no-nonsense, high precision, exact but unobtrusive tool watch. 1 OF 12 Two of the newest features of the new True Second, in fact, are pretty dramatically different from both t

Top 3 Patek Basel 2017 Releases
Here's my humble list of my favorite pieces released:1. 5372P - I prefer the rose gold dial, gives it more of a vintage feel2. 5960G - While its odd that they decided to make this in white gold, like the 5524, I like it a lot better on a strap rather than a bracelet.3. 5168 - I'm sure this will be at the top of the list for others, but the aquanaut has never seemed very substantial to me, however the blue touch is nice.Big upset - 5170P. When I first saw it looked amazing until I noticed the diamond markers, what a bummer. Sword hands, that tachy scale and sunburst dial, this could have been huge, at least for me.I'd love to hear thoughts on favorites this year.
Went to the candy store...
My AD used my floating deposit to pull in a 5712-1A which was on my short list for pieces to maybe acquire this year. I gotta tell ya, it's amazing on the wrist I think I am going to end up with one in the near future...
