.. and I absolutely can relate to the version on stainless steel ;
( the Pt more Retro for me, in a way)

- Somehow quite happy, that I've put my (personal Géophysic 1958 on) order with JLC,
already some time ago.

We'll find out more, what's in the boxes, when they finally will arrive, this fall..
smile

But maybe there will be a chance to see the protos somewhere, sometime before that.

Hope you had a good, relaxed ( not red-eyed !) trip back to Paris !

Thx for your sharings and report(s) - guess, some more will come ( about HK ?)

My Best for the weekend !

A Trip To Asia. Part One, Singapore.

 
 By: amanico : June 26th, 2014-17:21
First of all, I have to say that this trip is my first trip in Asia. You can imagine how excited I was when, a bit less than one year ago, Jaeger-Lecoultre proposed this trip. From Asia, what did I have in mind? A wealthy Financial world, a very far count...  

Wow

Nice photos, especially the night photo from top :-) Hope to see you again someday and very nice meeting you in jlc boutique. The platinum geophysic is very nice in your wrist :-) Regards, Ronald

I agree, I like the SS version very much

Room 666? Guess they were expecting you! Sounds like you had a lot of fun out in HK and Singapore! -MW

It seems, yes. The HK trip was really something, yes.

The report, I still have to write it... 20 Hours in two different planes didn't let me too much time. ;) All the best, my friend. Nicolas.

Wow! It looks like you had a wonderful time.....

 
 By: Sandgroper : June 27th, 2014-01:56
I must say that I too, have a penchant for the SS, very nice, sober and chic! Its on my list;) Cheers and thank you for the nice pictures. Francois

That would be a nice addition in your collection. Thanks for looking, my friend.

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:21
I just regret you weren't able to attend! Best, Nicolas

Nico, I see you are going well in your trip........

......Nice shots beautiful places and watches.- Good luck my friend and good winds!! A hug. Juan

love that tourbillon

great looking and very under the radar watch!!

The Reverso Platinum Nr 2 is as you said, indeed. Magnificent, and under the radar.

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:24
Which makes all its interest, IMO... Best, Nicolas

Cool trip, great post!

 
 By: MichaelC : June 27th, 2014-08:32
Even if I would have preferred Alethea's wrist for all of the photos ;-) Good to see your room was ready when you arrived too. I am finding the SS Geophysic highly tempting. But I will likely stay the course for a platinum Septantieme when I am able.

The trip was like in a dream. As for the SS Geophysic...

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:27
In terms of price, this is not the kind of Watch which will disturb you to get the Septantieme... Funny, I was on to take the 70eme with me, for this trip, but at the last moment, I let it in the safe... Too many watches with me, already... Best, my frien... 

Great report Nicolas!

I am a born and bred Singaporean and I love your post! True you didnt get to visit the old Singapore at the quay areas - maybe next time :) As for the night life, I heard we declared a state of emergency for curfew at 12am due to a certain vampire in town... 

I would have loved to have enough time to visit this part of the town.

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:28
Next time I will! Yes, night life was a bit disappointin,g but your explanation makes sense. :) :) :) All the best, my dear friend. Nicolas

Thanks for your feedback, hs. The HK report will come a bit later, I still have to

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:46
Write it.... ;) I already worked on my pictures, though. As for the TT Geophysic, I am sure you will adore it. All the best, Nicolas

Hope, you had a good trip !. No rush, pls with the HKreport.. But indeed looking forward..

 
 By: hs111 : June 28th, 2014-08:42
.. to seeing the Géophysic(s) in the real ! - But maybe there will be a chance sometime & somewhere to do so, before they really will be released in fall or end-of-year.. My best, also for the WE, hs

Thnxxx !.. :)))

 
 By: hs111 : June 28th, 2014-08:49

Thank you

 
 By: Le Monde Edmond : June 27th, 2014-12:33
For the watch tour and city tour. Singapore is often compared to Switzerland I am not sure why. Besides banking - the two countries seem vastly different. As far as nightlife- come visit me in Zurich- it can compete with Paris ;) I also enjoyed your arm c... 

great report Nico !!

 
 By: GLau : June 27th, 2014-12:42
I cannot wait to see your HK report !1 Cheers, Gordon

Just arrived. Have to kiss the family, then I will work on it.

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:48
Man that wa great to see you. This last breakfast was a real pleaure. All the best, Nicolas

The climate is much different than in Swizerland, of course.

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:47
As for wrists, well, yes, I must amdit my defeat. All the best, Nicolas ...  

You managed to squeeze a lot of walking and sightseeing into that second day.

 
 By: Ruckdee : June 27th, 2014-17:55
Congratulations on that. I did a part of that route during my visit last year and another part this year the day after the function at Sentosa Cove. I can't wait to get back to Singapore again. Love this city. Most importantly to mention, it was great mee... 

Mutual pleasure, my friend. Good to see you!

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:55
As for the second day, yes, we walked a lot, to try to find some nice spots for some photo sessions. Alethea was a great and sperb guide. Thank you, my friend, and remember, you are always welcome in France! Nicolas

And when is Part 2 coming out? :)

 
 By: NT931 : June 27th, 2014-20:54
The Reverso Pt Tourbillon is truly a work of art! And indeed a lady's wrist brings out the RG Geophysic in a very different way from a guy's. Great to meet you Nicolas, and I'm glad you had fun in Singapore!

I must say that I was puzzled to see how the TT Geo RG worked so well on a lady's wrist.

 
 By: amanico : June 28th, 2014-02:57
A Revelation! Meeting you was a real pleasure. Hope to see you more often here! All the best, Nicolas

Very capable ...

 
 By: Kong : June 27th, 2014-23:48
were you flying or walking? :-) You covered quite many places within a day in this warm weather. Solid! Thanks for Part 1, looking forward to HK part now. Kong

Looks like you had a great time, my friend! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : June 28th, 2014-12:12
Must say that I prefer Alethea's wrist...! ;) Best Blomman

Great report Nico !

 
 By: Geo : June 30th, 2014-10:16
Cool to hear you enjoyed the city a lot. GEO

Fantastic experience ...

 
 By: bimbeano : July 1st, 2014-14:25
.. i have never been in Asia that far :-) ... seems really like something 'out of our world' to me .... . As for the nightlife, i think you should go to Bangkok ;-) .... How long did you stay ? Filip

I've been there, in SG and HK, for 5 days. A tad too short, but ...

 
 By: amanico : July 1st, 2014-21:34
An excellent first experience! Wait for the Part II, and the HK trip. Best, my friend. Nicolas
