**OFFICIAL JAEGER LE-COULTRE THREAD (and daily pics)**

I figured it was time to have a thread like this for all things JLC (and not specific to any model). After all, the model range is pretty wide with Jaeger le-Coultre.

My backstory: I started learning about the brand, specifically the Reverso, back in 2016 when my AD invited me to a JLC dinner. Fast forward to 2022 and I finally purchase my first Reverso (Tribute Burgundy)

Here is my contribution: Master Compressor Geographic.


I bought this on a whim earlier this year. I came across a listing of it and I thought it was one of the most unique and interesting looking dual time/GMT watches. I was aware of the master compressor line but never knew about this particular model. After some research, I decided to purchase and I have been very satisfied with it and is part of my regular rotation. I spend some time trying to find a good strap to go with it, as i wasn't a fan of the bracelet. I think I finally settled on the one I have mounted now...Rubber B swim-skin ballistic in white/navy.

This one has been on my mind for the past 3 years. I keep holding out hope that they will make this a duo with white on one side and red on the other.

JLC did make a limited production version of the burgundy dial duoface in rose gold a few years ago. The reference is 398256J.

I remember when it came out, but it's gold and limited. I would love it as a standard issue in steel.

This particular model does not have sunburst finish on the dial and, apart from the burgundy colour, that is what sold it to me.

Did not look into duoface models as I wanted it as thin as possible.

Following. JLC makes some great stuff. I love the Reverso. Don’t own any yet, but likely someday.

Thanks for sharing. This is an interesting watch; I have never come across one before. How thick is the watch?

Like you, the lacqured dial of the burgundy is what caught my attention as well.

Here are some other goodies my boutique has brought out for me to look-see:

Subscribed!!! Per my post, I’m pretty close to adding a Reverso to the collection. Just going back and forth a bit on the right one…
This thread will surely expedite the decision. Keep ‘em coming!
