Jaeger-LeCoultre

Here is a watch you've already seen in the last weeks as Nicolas already presented it. You think you got enough? Not me!

The launch of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre series a few years back was a striking event as the watch concept is really innovative and tempting for watch fans. The chronograph that initiated the family is a great piece and the Grande Sonnerie that followed is just amazing, maybe the pinnacle of modern horology.

The Duometre a Quantieme Lunaire launched last year adds another option to chronometry amateurs. The watch is all focussed on precision and setting precision. The watch appealed me hugely but the pink gold colour was a bit too much for me and the open dial and moon phase were not at my taste.  jlc.watchprosite.com

The white gold version launched this year brings back the colour theme seen last year with the white gold Duometre a Chronographe. It's easily the best looking Duometre launched so far IMVHO. Yes I've been stuck and am still.

Yes this watch is the perfect Darth Vader's watch. It is also certainly a treat for the precision timing fan I am. I can easily imagine how pleasing it must be to check the precision and reset it if necessary.

Of course the similar chronograph version could seem more appealing but the fact is that I'm not too appealed by chronographs (except perhaps the most traditional ones).

The watch is perfect on the wrist. The black dial offsets the large size. The short lugs help the case fit the smaller wrists.

The depth of the dial is just hypnotizing. Look at it and you will end up in the depths of the blackest ocean, or cyberspace…..

In fact this watch is unique in its dial architecture, thanks to its original calibre. It is at the same time unique and supremely modern while cased in a very traditional body of white gold.

The watch may seem hard to read but the reading is extremely easy once you get used to it, to its organization, to its founding principles. In fact it is a simple watch.

Yes this is my watch of the year. It is not a Patek Philippe 5550P and it adds little in principle to the Duometre launched last year, but in this white gold black dial version, the plain dial and the overall look make it perfect for me. The look has become secondary behind the horological principle.

So please here is what I require from you. Please buy them all ASAP, so that they get sold out and I can forget it!

Thank you by advance.
