Return of a Classic Explorers’ Watch: Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958
As we hinted on Thursday on WatchTime’s social media, Jaeger-LeCoultre has announced the return of a collectors’ classic from the brand’s archives: a limited-edition chronometer watch called the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic 1958.The original Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic was created in 1958, designated as the “International Geophysical Year” in which 67 nations from the East and West cooperated, during the height of the Cold War, to undertake a series of scientific explorations of the planet’s unexplored regions. The watch was designed to be a companion on these expeditions, many of which took researchers to harsh terrains and climates, so it utilized the era’s most advanced watchmaking technology.

Patek mind games: separating the money from the watch
I've been collecting watches for about ten years. I've had over 100 watches of almost every brand, from Anonimo and Marathon to Doxa and Panerai. I always come back to Rolex. For a long time, my dream watch was a 5512 and I've been wearing one now for about 6 months. But lately, I became spellbound by the 5711.

Being able to spend $30K on a watch has been messing with my mind a lot.
