Description

Considered as a benchmark for watchmaking in 1958, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic® model can withstand all kinds of tests, whether they be for its anti-magnetic or anti-shock qualities, its water resistance or its chronometric precision. The watch was designed for the scientists of the International Geophysical Year in 1958, an unprecedented scientific endeavour. Readopting the aesthetic codes of the historic 1958 models, these new Geophysic watches are presented in a case with modified dimensions. This round watch with its pure forms encloses a high-performance self-winding calibre.
