Master Minute Repeater: Gold or Titanium?
The interesting thing with these 2 versions is that they both share the same dial, but offer a different spirit, due to the metal of the case.
While the Titanium looks like a concept watch, with its unusual titanium case, slightly dark, and its open dial, the Rose Gold plays another partition.
It has the modernity of its dial, a kind of industrial beauty, which breaks with the aesthetic codes on such a complication, but also the more traditional elegance of its colored gold case.
An amazing and surprising blend:
So, what MMR are you?
Titanium or Rose Gold?
Looking forward to hearing your comments and thoughts,
Best.

Well, for me,....
I prefer the "look" of the rose gold because the rose hands give the watch better legibility, and I'm a sucker for JLC's blend of rose. Even though the gong is welded to the crystal, the crystal IS attached to the case, so I imagine sound travels through ...
Both are killing pieces, Dean...
Then, it depends on everyone's taste... Classic or concept watch, in both cases, they are devilishly tempting... Thanks for your input, Dean, and Best! Nicolas
They are both gorgeous
But I strongly prefer the Ti, as it seems more "in tune", harmonizing with the open-work face. If I won the lottery, this would be high on my list of wants.
We could even think that the RG is more audacious...
Such a modern open dial on a RG watch is really audacious. But the outcome is really appealing, in my opinion. The Titanium is colder, and that amy be the reason why I prefer it, too. Once again, personal tastes... Best, Nicolas
Well, Nicolas
I would gladly accept either version (take note PuristS -- I am giving you my Christmas list early), but I prefer the titanium because it is the original and because, as you noted, it suits the identity of the watch as a concept piece. It is so original i...
We're on the same line, Respo...
But I learnt to appreciate the RG MMR, not at the point ot change my Ti for the RG version, though. Aesthetically, but not only... Because I loved a lot to see such a traditional complication treated this way... Young, and refreshing! Best, my friend. Nic...
Prefer the Ti over the RG but either version will be a dream to have come true.........
Both of them are just as gorgeous and one cannot go wrong with either. The Ti version is more causual while the RG is more formal to wear. The Ti version goes well with both T-shirts and dress shrits. I also like the Ti case which matches better with the ...
I don't have any other watch in mind
which offers a polished titanium case. I will have to think about it, but the JLC MMR may be the only one... My guess is that the polished titanium is harder to work than a brushed one. Though you still have this slightly dark color, but it was a surprise...
Sound?
Is there a difference in the sound quality, tone or volume? Personally I like the titanium, but the gold hands seem to be easier to read against the essentially grey and silver movement. They are both an interesting contrast. Thanks for the images. Andrew
As for the sound, Andrew...
I'd say that it depends on the watch, not only on the metal. The platinum is matter, the titanium is louder, and I would say that the RG is a kind of compromise between the Pt and the Ti... As for the quality of the sound, the richness, I was lvery impres...
simply amazing..
I am very intrigued by the MMR after your recent review of the titanium one. Simply amazing! But with the RG next to it, the watch takes on a completely different character! Jekyll-Hyde-ish (IMHO)... With the RG the skeleton just sort of disappears and th...
That is the interest of these comparison pictures.
Same watch, different personality. I think that it was a superb idea, from JLC, to release such original watches. A new milestone for thjis complication? Time will tell! Best, Nicolas
If I have to choose…
The TI would definitely be my choice! I really love the warmth of the RG, and the weight – but if I had to choose, the TI version is more usable IMO! Best, my friend Blomman
We're surfing on the same wave, Blomman.
I'm puzzled, literally puzzled by this Titanium version. I love its " extrem " look. Best, Nicolas
Nico will you stop..
comparing your collection with the 175 anniversary?You know I suffer when I see JLC rose Gold..... Tried it last week together with my love ,the 8 days......For once I must say that this time my vote goes for your titanium,the whole concept and look of th...
Tend to agree with you, Mo.
When I decided to go for my MMR Ti, the RG version didn't exist, as we were in July 2007. Even now that both exist ( well, the Ti is discontinued, as it seems that the whole 200 pieces were spoken for ), I would make the same choice. The polished titanium...
Hard decision
Titanium for daylight hours. Rose Gold for evening wear. Regards, Richard.
You know where I come down on this debate . . .
Nicolas, your photos are amazing!!!! I wish I could take photos like that. I love the look of BOTH, but slightly prefer the RG. That being said, the volume of the Ti is absolutely incredible. Craig...
Well, you know what we say, Craig.
We can't go wrong with either of these Beauties. Thanks for the kind words, Craig. Best, Nicolas
