Jaeger-LeCoultre's Master World Geographic Men's Watch - All Places, All the Time

Wearing Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master World Geographic may make you feel like you’re able to be in more than one place at a time.

A Traditional Time Zone Map - not needed if you're wearing your Master World Geographic!

With a 24 time zone display on the dial, it is easy for the wearer to instantly tell the time in any city on Earth. The names of 24 cities, corresponding to the 24 time zones, are displayed just inside the bezel. Thus it is aptly named the “Master World.” In addition, the date (of your home time zone) is displayed at 3 o’clock and a second time zone is in the 6 o’clock subdial.

There is a also a power reserve indicator, which is especially helpful when traveling with a self-winding watch.

The watch features an automatic movement which is unidirectionally wound. Most automatic watches are wound in both directions, but Jeager’s engineers have concluded that unidirectional winding is more efficient. It also has a crystal caseback, allowing you a great view of the movement.

Despite its myriad functions and efficiencies, even this extraordinary timepiece cannot actually put you in two places at once. But you may feel like the master of your own world when you wear it.

The Panerai Luminor Daylight Titanium Men's Watch - A Mighty Watch, Less Weight

Panerai introduced this amazing new chronograph in titanium at SIHH last year.

The look is signature Panerai. Yet with its engraved tachymeter on the bezel, light blue dial, and white luminous coating of both the subdials and all minute markers, its appearance is much more detailed than your classic “clean” Panerai model. One of the best features of the titanium Daylight Chrono is its light weight, despite its 44mm size. Titanium is about 56% as dense as steel, and it comparable in its strength and resistance to corrosion.

The watch has an automatic movement, called the Panerai OP XII with a power reserve of 46 hours and a strong anti-shock device. All of which you’d expect from this brand that’s been producing the Luminor for more than 60 years.


The watch is also available on an alligator strap, which is also very handsome. The strap and bracelet can be interchanged with a tool that’s supplied with the watch.
