For the pleasure of the eyes: Jaeger-Lecoultre Duometres UTT / Spherotourbillon.
What's your favorite? The magic of the spherotourbilloning Duometre, or the friendly Unique Travel Time?
Having played with both, for a longer time with the UTT, I prefer the UTT.
For its friendly complication, even if I must confess a certain partiality when it comes to Travel Watches.
And you?
Best,
Nicolas

The UTT for me
Simply because i'm not a fan of this big opening on the dial. And the Sphero isn't mesmerizing as a Gyro. Among the "Duomètre" collection, the "Duomètre à Chronographe" remains my favorite ! Best Fabio
I am a bit like you. I much prefer the Gyro One to the Sphero.
As for the " à chronographe ", well, it is the first of the family. A totally new watch. A big plus. Best, Nicolas
Simple for me.. As the Gyro I is one of my ( theoretical) Tourbillon Grail Duometres:
+1 on the UTT, but before the Duo QL black dial, pls. !.. - Great pic, needless to say, BTW ! ) Cheers & Best, hs
Same here, except that I would happily complete the UTT with the Chrono and the QL

UTT
as it is very well balanced and a nice interpretation of a useful feature. What I like in the Sphero is the way the Time dial is decorated. Otherwise, I never understood the Sphero, except to do it more complicated just to do so. Of course, the Chronograp...
To do it more complicated is the essence of horology.
If not, we would stick to Swatch watches. ;) I understand your preference for the A Chronographe. Horologically speaking, the A Chronographe is the most interesting: New case, new dial, new movement... New concept. Best, Mark. Nicolas
Of course
and there is also a way of getting pleasure from watches with just something which is different to look at, even if it doesn't bring to chronometry or else. I like flying tourbillons much more for instance: it doesn't bring much either but felt the Sphero...
I have to say I prefer the spherotourbillon. I watched youtube videos of both,
and in every contest sphero won out for me. I love the cut away that frames the sphero, and I love it even more on the sphero moon model. And I love watching he sphero. The UTT is a watch I love for both it's duometre charm and the fact that you can set i...
Thicker, which is naturally understandable. But not bigger, compared to the UTT.
The tourbillon dance is something magic, I won't dispute that, but I prefer it on the Gyrotourbillon One. Ok, give me the case of the Duometre, and the dial of the Gyro One ( with all the horological content ) and I will be very happy. ;) Best, Nicolas
One Item I didn't mention in favor of the UTT - the digital hour on the second time.
For new features I would say the UTT beats out the sphero. But watching that thing dance around, I don't think I'd ever tire.
Yes a cool detail on the UTT. I don't like when everything is digital and jumping.
But just the hour, that's cool. As for the spherical, or gyro, tourbillon, that is something very fascinating. Best, my friend. Nicolas
