Hi all,

I really like the look of these atm, and have spotted a few around the £5k mark (2005 model). Have they dropped in value recently, or suddenly become very unpopular? I always thought they cost a lot more and am now very tempted!

Would also be interested to know what they're like to live with if anyone owns one.

Thanks,
Nick

One just arrived on Blowers - they don't seem to be very well loved perhaps as folk tend to associate the brand with more elegant pieces - no reason why JLC cannot develop a reputation for great sports watches but that model is very chunky and so may appeal to a smaller number of people - I looked at one in the Place Vendome boutique in Paris last Saturday amongst some other pieces

I paid sub 5k for this 2008 mint 1 owner in Rose Gold ......not everybody's cup of tea but I like it

It makes the SS one at Blowers look expensive

Hi I have just purchase a 2009 JLC master compressor chronograph.

Very similar to the Geo, I personally love it wears very well somewhere between dress and smart casual IMO.

I had the Compressor Memovox, it;sa nicely made watch but not very 'Jaeger'. The chrono is the one to have IMHO.

The complication of the Geographic is lovely to operate, I was playing with one an older one at the boutique event last night.
