A Duo of Duometre à Chronographe: Platinum or White Gold?
By: amanico : May 1st, 2014-00:20
Since the Duometre à Chronographe was introduced in White Gold in January 2010, I was never able to tell which one I prefer, and I'm still, four years and a half after, waving between the platinum or the white gold. You already know these pictures: So, I ...
Hard to tell...

mmmmm maybe but only maybe Pt slightly over…but again,two different watches,two different feels….. Is the plat really 20 k more expensive?I don t recall that…..but,price lists have gone mad in the last few years… Mo
More impartial toward the white gold piece
By: rnaden : May 1st, 2014-01:09
For me, it's always been the more attractive one. Not to say the platinum version is bad, but to my eyes, the black dial and the different colors of the hands for the time and chronograph is a very nice combination, especially the rose gold on black. At s...
I was very happy with the Pt...

If only it was not stolen... But once I have to live with that, I must say that I cannot tell... I would slightly prefer the WG, too... Which has a superb strong look. Best, Richard, and thanks for your input! Nicolas
Some (painful) pictures...

Sorry about thisNico….I really wish you to get you duometre soon…..You deserve it more than anybody. Mo ...

WG is clear winner for me aesthetically speaking foremost and price-wise as well It would complement your Lange piece greatly ;) Best Damjan P.S. You are called Mr. Black aren't you so.... ;)
both?

to bad finance is often an issue.. :-( The white dial gives it more of a dressy look, as far as you could call this chrono a dress watch, but the white dial PT case combo makes it look more grown up/adult. The WG/black dial is more sporty, more youthful. ...
Both is of course the ideal solution, but not too realistic...

Although I know some guys who are collecting Patek 5070s in all the metals... Why not doing the same with the " A Chronographe "? Aaah, and by the way, yes, the WG UTT is a highyl recommendable one... Still stuck in my mind. ;) Best, Nicolas
Well, I'm late to this thread

Damn time zone differences! Everything has been well pointed out, including the only weakness of this watch to left wrist wearers. If I am to spend Nicolas' money, and BTW, I have been told by other purists who we won't name, they I spend everyone's money...
Reading you and seeing your wristshot, I was thinking...

That the Duometre à Chronographe is a fine ( one of the finest ) Chronographe in Platinum, and that the WG version adds a certain coolness which is dangerously attractive... Thanks, Joe, for your feedback! Nicolas
Speaking on a purely hypothetical level.. Humble me would go..
By: hs111 : May 1st, 2014-04:18
.. for the WG, black- dialled version, out of 3 major reasons: 1/ I simply love black dials, and I also like the smooth surface, maybe weak argument, but I also like the QL in black more than the other(s) Also this black / WG combo has a unique coolness f...
WG/black for the SEXINESS...
By: DTL : May 1st, 2014-23:16
It is the most beautiful version of possibly the most important modern JLC. Is the Duometre Chrono destined to be an icon?
Yes, DTL, I have this conviction.
By: amanico : May 1st, 2014-23:46
What do we have, here? A new case, a new movement, dedicated to the new Watch, a new dial, an original concept ( the Dual Wind ), a very well thought Watch which, for once, gives as much place to the Chronograph as to the Time ( and not only a chronograph...

Those who know, know...those that don't, don't need to know.
Lovely review of these two beauties.......
By: Sandgroper : May 2nd, 2014-02:29
As you say Nicolas, this is not a small watch and with its large dial aperture, the Platinum with the white dial looks much bigger than the White Gold with the black dial. Of course I am biased as I own a WG with black dial. For me, besides the looks of t...
It is important to read an owner's feedback on this watch.
By: amanico : May 2nd, 2014-02:40
I hope to be able to do so, in a not too distant time! Yes, you are right, each of them has its own character. At the point that I would dream to each both of them. Elegance on one side, elegance and coolness on the other side. Hmmmm! Best, my friend, and...
You know I had the platinum for a short while
By: Asimut : May 2nd, 2014-08:10
Where it did get wrist time and even some dead-sea abuse ;-) But, I totally went for the white gold. I just love the contrast - guess I'm not a big fan of white dials (only one in my stable!) Now, the best Duometre for me is the UTT and the best looking c...
WOW!
