Team,

I wake up this morning, took some pictures and I was thinking "this is the end" or there will be more watches for me?

First "The Doors Live at The Hollywood Bow":

Now, some fresh Duomètre Chronographe pictures:

1) Over our wood swimming pool chair

2) The movement. I saw, speechless, a Duomètre movement being made at the "Manufacture".

3) On my wrist

4) B&W

Paraphrasing the Apocalypse Now line, "It feels ... like victory".

Have a great Sunday and thanks for seeing,

Nilo

Key Points from the Discussion

The Duomètre series, particularly the Quantième Lunaire with its enamel dial, represents a pinnacle for many collectors, even for those who already own a Duomètre Chronographe.
The Duomètre Chronographe is lauded as one of the finest high-end modern chronographs, with its 42mm size becoming more acceptable to collectors previously preferring smaller watches.
The Duomètre Chronographe features a unique mechanism where both the foudroyante (flying seconds) and the normal second hand can be stopped and reset to zero independently.
The Duomètre's movement finishing is exceptionally high, with collectors noting its spotless quality even under digital loupe inspection at the Manufacture.
The Duomètre's 'engine' is considered amazing, with the possibility of future acquisitions in the series still on the horizon for some collectors.

The amazing Duomètre "engine", IMHO. If the "lady luck" smiles, I may have one or to before "The End". Stay tuned. Cheers, Nilo

Logically I think a chrono, perpetual or repeater would benefit the most from the duometre innovation.

.. Only thing, I guess: If I ever were to achieve & reach the class of the Duometres, I would rather try to get an add\'l Quantieme Lunaire, such as the Enamel one ( or maybe, if found a QL in WG/ black dial).. - Just played again a bit last week, another time again.. Best, hs PS: here just some other quick Duometre greetings a QL Enamel Duometre UTT chiseled dial, & a QL Enamel..

Your pics are too good to stop acquiring new pieces (I say selfishly). And these Duometre pics are no exception. Wonderful pics of a great, great watch. Cheers, John

Did you know that the seconde foudroyante AND the " normal " second hand were both stop and re settable to zero? The moon phase is an aesthetical pretext, nothing else. The main goal is accuracy, and... Let's not forget, the enamel dial! Best, Nicolas
