Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic ® 1958

A tribute to science and watchmaking precision

Right from its founding in 1833, the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre has asserted itself through technical advances

that soon earned its timepieces benchmark status in terms of sturdiness and precision.

Within this context, is thus hardly surprising that at a time in the mid-20th century when the scientific community composed of researchers from many different countries

was preparing to undertake a program of major scientific explorations as part of the International Geophysical Year,

Jaeger-LeCoultre decided to associate with this unique initiative by creating an exceptional precision instrument: the Geophysic ® watch .

  In 2014, Jaeger-LeCoultre pays tribute to this legendary timepiece by unveiling two exclusive watches the Geophysic ® 1958 – a model in steel and in pink gold - and a model in platinum.

A synthesis of the research and technical expertise of the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre, these timepieces are driven by an automatic movement boasting tried and tested reliability and resistance.

They feature a diameter of 38.5 mm, taking account of contemporary preferences while remaining entirely true to the design of the original model with a pure, highly legible dial.
