JAEGER LE COULTRE POLARIS

Hello guys,
Apologies for the lack of updates again.
Been really busy lately and also going thru a very difficult time in my life.
Anyway, this is a simple review of a watch I worn on loan from a friend.
The JLC Polaris.



The watch itself is pretty cool and oozing with vintage charm.
Very wearable 42mm size and a domed sapphire crystal completes the package.



The dial is highly legible with minimal clutter.
The centre dial is of course a disc with the triangular pointer setting the alarm function.
Total of 3 crowns with one for time and date setting, one for setting the alarm and one more for winding the alarm function (it needs power to vibrate and create a buzzing sound after all)



No fancy engravings on the crown.


As I mentioned earlier.
The super dome crystal.


The caseback is hollowed out with some holes to amplify the alarm buzzing.


Details on the dial is nice and crisp....


Except on the close up picture of the 12 o'clock marker... looks pretty sloppy. and also the luminescence on the alarm triangle encroach out of line.
You won't be able to tell with the naked eye... So I might be nitpicking here.... 


The 9 o'clock marker done right.



Very comfy on the wrist.
Good watch for a daily wear with the alarm novelty a conversation starter.
