An in Depth review on the Géomatic
By: amanico : March 18th, 2009-00:38
When we speak about Chronometers, we can't avoid the Géomatic, a nice and very elegant watch released in 1961. JLC communicated a lot during the life of this model ( 1962 - 1970 ), which actually was not produced in an impressive quantity ( 2000 pieces in...

Thank you Nicolas, i really enjoyed reading this post ... a very nice piece of history, a very nice looking vintage too, a watch you can instantly fall in love with ! In the ad it says something about " l'homme d'action " , so now we can understand your t...

One question, on the automatic movement, there is a wheel on top of the barrel, at 9 o'clock in your picture, that seems to have semi-circular cutouts in it. Any idea what it does? A

Sorta
By: aaronm : March 23rd, 2009-21:09
I assume it is part of the automatic mechanism, maybe related to disconnecting the manual-wind during automatic winding or something? A
soooo nice

if money can't buy happiness, it can surely help to grab nice watche superb and well documented review.
I'm typing this answer with my Geomatic on my wrist
By: Dje : March 18th, 2009-13:02
Hi Nicolas, Congratulations for the fantastic work done . Your review is a must. I'm even more happier to write this with my Geomatic on my wrist. I notice that I have the same dial as yours, even if my watch is apparently slightly younger (case made in 1...
This is an outstanding review
By: emcquillan : March 18th, 2009-13:06
... especially for someone like me who is a relatively new admirer of Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Geomatic and Geophysic are beautiful watches that give me some historical perspective and appreciation of the current Master range. Great picture of the Gyophysic ...
Back to the 60's
By: Starman : March 18th, 2009-14:32
Reminds me of the shape of my father's and grandfather's Eterna's. Those 60's shaped watches still look very familiar to me and I'm happy to still seeing them back in the today Master Control collection. My prediction is that this style will return to som...

Your post is simply impressive, and I want to thank you it so much. A great review with lot of nice pics and adds about an elegant, soberb and great watch. I´ve enjoyed this post a lot. And seeing the hard job made for this post, I must "quitarme el sombr...
Dial abnormity!
By: HerrK : March 19th, 2009-02:19
Dear Nicolas, I do not know whether you have noticed it already, but your Geomatic seems to have a dial abnormity. On all watches by JLC I have seen (including Geomatics) the hint for using Tritium on the dial by placing a T next to SWISS MADE is done sym...
Cool, isn't it?
By: amanico : March 19th, 2009-23:12
I saw that, Herrk. That what's make it so special. As a coincidence, I know the whole life of this watch, and its first owner. As for the ads, we thought exactly the same, and I couldn't help smiling when I saw some relations between watches and some acti...
wow, very nice review Nic. i really like these geomatic watches...
By: FanFrancisco : March 19th, 2009-08:35
thanks very much for the wonderful review, Nic. you have told us you wanted to put up this in depth review for geomatic for long time ago, it finally came up. you know i have been long waiting for this. it was not disappointed to me at all. anyway, no one...
The Geomatic is every bit as compelling . . .
By: Dr No : March 19th, 2009-10:03
. . . as the other great chronometers of the era, Nicolas. I find the manual winding dateless Geophysic to be especially interesting . . . do you, or does anyone else on this forum, happen to own one? Cordially, Art
An other great review!

As always, another enthralling review. This Géomatic is beautiful and very elegant watch. I like the doomed dial a lot! Thanks for sharing Sébastien

another poof of the savoi faire of jlc back in the days
By: georgeszaslavsky : September 16th, 2011-12:35
Another great vintage watch from jlc that I admire. Well balanced proportions of the dial and hands, great movement and great legibility make of this watch a perfect one.
