Design code of the Duometre
I have a quick question. Is there a design code restricting the Duometre watches to the current two small dials layout?
I understand that technically anything is possible should the Manufacture want to do it. But in terms of conceptualization and aesthetics, does JLC consider it a possibility to release a Duometre with central hour and minute hands with the extra functions on the side? Or must the dial of all Duometre watches in the future be more or less like the ones we are enjoying now?
Thank you.

They should rethink the conception of the movement, Ruckdee.
If they want to have a main dial dedicated to Time. Which explains the design of the dial. And I really feel it is part of the charm and the signature of the Duometre Family members. So, I doubt we'll have something radically different, in terms of dial l...
Could you see it differently designed, from an aesthetical point of view?
There is something very " surrané " which sticks very well with the spirit of this Watch, don't you think? Best, Nicolas
Now the design is quite imprinted in my mind. It will be hard to remove now.
And speaking of spirit, having two dials does go well with the model name and the movement design. I was just thinking about what other complication will be implemented next and how they can fashion the dial if not the way they currently do. I would ventu...
I believe that JLC has revealed...
that they can do almost anything with the 3rd subdial (lightning seconds - fast; 24-hour time - slow), and I'm sure that they "could" do a center dial...but then it would be almost any watch - except with a beautifully finished movement. On the other hand...
No surprise, Dean. I agree. JLC has a pure champion with the Duometre.
A Champion which can compete with some other beasts of the category... Best,, Nicolas.
