I hope you like the watch, as JLC gave it to me for one week. Yes, one week only, but it is for a noble cause, a road trip in So Cal and in Las Vegas.

So, each day, and for 7 days, you will have to deal with my pictures, wristshots, in situ photos and so on...

After all, I think there is no better way than taking a watch for some days to fully understand and appreciate it.

As I got it today, here are my first shots.

From the Grey Paris...

To the Californian Blue...

Stay tuned, I will do my best to post some new pictures each day, here, for one week.

Vlad's saga is starting soon.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Duomètre à Chronographe is considered one of the most captivating fine chronographs, with a desire for a future Duomètre Rattrapante iteration.
The Duomètre à Chronographe is praised for its unique 1/6 second function and distinctiveness compared to other chronographs, though one user wished for a reversal of the time and chrono displays for better legibility under a sleeve.
The author's week-long experience with the watch was a strategic move, potentially leading to a purchase, highlighting the effectiveness of extended wear for appreciation.
The Duomètre UTT's aesthetic is growing on collectors, with one expressing interest in seeing a rose gold version before making a decision.
The dial of the Duomètre UTT is noted for its excellent balance, contributing to its overall appeal.
