It is an intellectual watch
At least it makes me think.
Such things as:
- why are there big holes in the dial?
- why put a huge pusher on the case that ideally only needs to be used every three years?
- why the pointer date that's so hard for us old guys to read?
- why such a huge case for such an elegant watch?
- why the redundant moon phase displays?
I much prefer the chrono, except it lacks a date display. I'm not smart enough to remember the date without my watch, so for me it's a must!
Certainly a beautiful machine. Perhaps the next version will combine the features I prefer. 
Better start saving my pennies now.
Duometre QL question
Can anyone explain the rationale behind keeping the 1/6th sec counter on a watch without a chronograph? Isn't that the kind of complication that one wouldn't want constantly running?
The main goal of the QL is accuracy.
1/6th of second goes in this direction. Here is the link which will explain you all: jlc.watchprosite.com = Best, Nicolas;
appreciate it
Nicholas - Appreciate the other link and I agree that for all the emphasis placed on accuracy, a moonphase lacking in (relative) accuracy is a bit of a let down. I will also say that the letdown is only in principle, as I never wear a watch with enough fr...
+1 to the watch being great, but...
I personally would opt for the chronographe, since it has a more "functional" reason for having the 1/6th counter IMO. Plus I am not too keen on a 1/6th counter constantly running.
The Q.L is a more " intellectual " watch.
ChronoMETRY and ChronoGRAPHY are very different. The last is more spectacular, the first needs some time to fully get and appreciate it. I'm preparing something about the 2 Duometres, by the way. But, to each his own, of course. Best, Nicolas.
I love the Lunaire
I think the juxtaposition of the preternaturally SLOW moving moon and lightning fast seconds, make this watch very interesting....

Don't start asking reasonable questions Dr. Bill
You won't have any fun. I have to say, your questions are very valid... I just feel an emotional delight looking at the watch.
Some answers...
1. The big holes on the dial if youare referring to the two power reserve indicators are in fact a nice touch. The power reserve-indicator-triangles actually move to create the illusion that the pointer is moving. And it naturally shows a bit of the movem...
