You can be happy for the arrival of a new watch? In my case the answer is: YES. I just received in my house the Duomètre Unique Travel Time, in white gold, limited edition of 100 pieces, mine is number 53/100.

This wonder is very well known in the Forum and I remember with admiration the very accurate description given by our Moderator Amanico.

The watch is superb! A real dream for any fan of the beautiful watchmaking! In my collection this Duomètre (the second Duomètre, I already have the Lunaire) will have a special place, one of the most beautiful watches I have, it is really a masterpiece! The U.T.T. is beautiful in all its parts, from the aesthetic, with its case balanced and harmonious, with shining dial, to the amazing world map, to the jumping numbers in the left subdial, with 7 and 9 in red, in homage to the wonderful Boutique JLC in Paris.

I bought this watch in my Boutique JLC in Milan, in Via Montenapoleone, for me the exclusive point of reference for such masterpieces. For the purchase I have a debt for a special thank you, is for JLC Italia and specially for the Boutique Manager, Mrs. Erminia Cutrì, égérie of the Maison, which, for first, gave me any information about the watch, after had in Boutique the Duomètre, has allowed me have the piece in my hands to view every detail. Without her decisive intervention, today I not would have this beauty on my wrist! In the first photo you can see the Duomètre yesterday (note the world map), before his departure from Milan with Mrs. Cutrì (in only one image, class, charm and a great example of fine watchmaking!).

I really don't have words, I'm too happy.

Many thanks for your attention. Greetings to all.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Duomètre Unique Travel Time, despite its dressy appeal, is highly functional and can be worn without issue, potentially drawing significant attention.
A collector expressed concern about the 42mm size of Duomètre watches, noting that flatter cases of that diameter might not sit well on smaller wrists, but committed to re-evaluating the fit.
The watch's acquisition from the Italian Boutique was an extraordinary event, as it was initially reserved exclusively for the Paris Boutique, highlighting the dedication of JLC Italia and the Boutique Manager.
The Duomètre Unique Travel Time is considered one of the most desirable Duomètre models due to its limited production.
A moderator inquired about how the author managed to acquire the watch from an Italian boutique, given its exclusivity to the Paris Boutique, underscoring its rarity.

I envy you! Huge congratulations.

You know how much I love this Watch. On the top of my wish list, to say all. One of the most performant and sophisticated travel Watch. But how did you do to get it from the Italian Boutique, as it is an exclusivity for the Paris Boutique??? Best, and once again, BRAVO! Nicolas.
