Geophysic
Launched in 1958, the Geophysic was one of the three models unveiled to celebrate the Maison's 125th anniversary, along with the Memovox Parking and the Memovox International. The objective was to produce ""a watch model able to withstand even the toughest conditions and meet the highest standards, particularly in terms of water resistance, anti-magnetism, and precision timing"". It subsequently became a symbol of excellence for the Manufacture.
Equipped with the chronometer-certified manual-winding Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre P478/BWSbr., the watch is fitted on a new black calfskin leather strap.

HERITAGE
A GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC VENTURE
Not only was the Geophysic launched to celebrate the Maison’s 125th anniversary, it was also unveiled to coincide with the International Geophysic Year, a global scientific event reuniting experts from 67 countries from July 1957 to December 1958. As Jaeger-LeCoultre wished to take part in this extraordinary project, which was the starting point for international cooperation in Antarctica, the Manufacture developed a timepiece meant to display its extraordinary savoir-faire.
