If there is a Chronometer we don't often speak about, it is this one. Indeed, when we think Chronometer and Vintage JLCs, two watches are most often mentionned: The Geophysic, and the Geomatic. It is certainly not because of its rarity: A bit more than 3 ...  

Prototypes! ;) Happy 90K, dear friend! That is a serious number - looking forward to the 100K! Best Blomman ...  

Some of their day-date Club watches, non-chronometer? Best Blomman

If I remember correctly, some Club came with an outsourced movement. So, not sure the day date " Club " used the Cal 906. Best, Nicolas.

Caliber 1906 which is a slower movement than the Caliber 906. 21800: 28800: Best Blomman ...

.. not quite the appeal, I would be looking for ; BUT: for the Chronometre collector maybe unavoidable I can imagine, that the intrinsingly micro-structured Dial will play with light & sun rays .. Two little Qs: - Any chance to see a wrist shot?? - we're ... 

Like here.... Shall I put it in the list of " the pièces to see " next time you come? ;) Best, Nicolas ...  

Guess, this grey blue one is very nice on the wrist, as well ! - A bit under the radar, but intriguing, I predict ! Thx and Best, hs

As for the dial, it is pretty cool. Thanks for your feedback, my friend Dean. Nicolas.

For me interesting, indeed, how many variations there were, if I'm not wrong: Square, more rectangular, dials: silver, grey/ blue, black (??); then Date, Day Date etc .. This 2400x series was quite ubiquitous, it seems Thx for the share, Best, hs

Thanks for reading, and for your kind words, Michael. Best, Nicolas

The overall design is a good one frome that era, the caliber well... does his job... but the dial... that dial !!! lovely effect, strong graphical output, needs to be seen IRL, and thank you for that. cheers François

... The Red Seconds Hand? It reminds me of a vintage Omega I saw the other day and it had a blue seconds hand. I don't know why, but I love watches that have a uniquely colored seconds hand. Does that make me a bad guy? All the best, my friend, - Scott

Thanks for sharing all this. Best, Didier

Doggone it Nico, now I have to look for one of these too? Cazalea
