![]() ![]() It seems to be more of a watch which could take a beating but is better left on the sidelines if things get really crazy. Given that it’s water resistant to 100m (though, neither of the crowns screw down) and presented on a leather strap we can assume that it’s not a particularly sporty watch, even if the case is made of titanium. Now, that’s not entirely the watch’s fault, it does very much depend on the person wearing the watch to decide what they want to use. Indeed, other than timing how long it takes to brown my toast in the grill out of curiosity, I couldn’t find an extensive use for the chronograph, and I didn’t use the world time at all. Though, having said all that, you might find yourself wishing for a situation where you could make good use of the complications that Jaeger-LeCoultre so lovingly put inside the watch. As an all-rounder, it’s a great effort this. The watch I had made good use of a blue dial, it could be dressed up easily, which is something I did throughout my two weeks, or it can be worn very casually with a polo shirt and jeans. It’s a well-proportioned piece, everything there seems to be in place and has a functionality to it, it’s not just big for the sake of big, even the thick lugs are right at home here. It may be 44mm in diameter and 12.5mm thick, but because it’s constructed from titanium and has a very wide brown leather strap, it’s surefooted and comfortable on the wrist. The first thing to say about the Polaris Chronograph WT is that the mass of the watch belies its size. Then there’s the one I’ve had, the range-topper (as the dealers described it), the Polaris Chronograph World Time. It comes in several different flavours from the standard twin crown three-handed setup (or there’s a three-handed date), the Polaris Chronograph, the world time Geographic and the legendary Memovox with its chiming alarm setup. ![]() The Polaris, which started life as a variant of the Memovox, was unveiled earlier this year to the applaud of fans all over the world. Back in SIHH of this year, Jaeger announced it was re-introducing an old variant of a watch as a new model line. For the past two weeks, I’ve had on my wrist a special watch from the likes of Jaeger-LeCoultre, one of the most prestigious brands out there and certainly a favourite among collectors. ![]()
