I love everything about the watch, aesthetics, the concept, the movement... It was a dream come true when I brought my travel time home last year, only to discover that the watch had some major issues. JLC would repair it of course, but I felt it is not right to purchase a brand new watch that comes broken off the shelf, and returned it.
I know I am not being rational and generalizing from a single incident, but as much as I love the Duometres, I just lost confidence in their reliability.
