A Duometre Dream since it was unveiled at the end of year 2013, and a dream of trips.

Some pictures taken during my trip to Los Angeles.

In the plane:

One of the most sophisticated Travel Watch, with its jumping hour and minute hand you can se by increments of one minute.

And.. Its superb movement:

On the top of my wish lit. All brands included.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Reverso Squadra World Time, while a very cool watch, wore large due to its square case, even with a comfortable articulated rubber and titanium bracelet.
Despite being 7-8 years old, the Duomètre Unique Travel Time's design remains remarkably appealing and fresh, making it a timeless piece.
The Duomètre's dial texture is highly appreciated, and its independent timezone setting capability makes it one of the best travel watches available.
The movement of the Duomètre Unique Travel Time is consistently praised for its exceptional aesthetic beauty.
A collector recounted a negative experience with the first two Duomètre Unique Travel Time pieces received in Portugal, which were non-working nightmares, leading to the sale of all their JLC watches.
For true fans, owning just one Duomètre is insufficient; the Unique Travel Time and the Quantième Perpétuel Enamel are often cited as essential targets.

No, alas. My priority was the Chronograph. I am still running after it. But I borrowed it from JLC for an on the wrist review, and traveled to So Cal with it. [nt]

I like those duomètres with a non skeletonized dial.

The movement has an aesthetic beauty. Hope you find one soon... George

Finding one is not easy with only 100 pieces, funding it is even tougher, nowadays. [nt]
