Jaeger Lecoultre Duometre à Chronographe and Quantième Lunaire White Gold / Black Dial: The killing duo?

Feb 26, 2018,01:47 AM
 

Here is the picture which raises this question: 





When I look at it, I find this pair very consistent, AND I dream about a " Black Series " with the UTT ( which doesn't exist, still ). 

On the other side, I think that the White Gold Quantième Lunaire white enamel dial is above the black sibling. 

Dilemmas... 

Best,

Nicolas

The Duometre chronograph is the best use for the two barrel Duometre movement design. Moon phase, IMHO, belongs to the perpetual calendar watches. Cheers, Nilo

yes you have a very valid point there. But that white enamel dial is such a timeless beauty!

and a big big plus (which is a big con for the chronograph) is that the time is on the right (lol) side of the dial.

I agree! [nt]

Indeed. IMO the black chrono and the white enamel would be ultimate ying&yang duo(metre ;-) )

In fact I find the Duometre the ultimate JLC. Of course you have the extreme exception like the Gyro Reverso, but a mortal needs dreams...

Without a doubt...

What a Duo !.. & although I had early on geared towards the Quant Lumiere, I am sooo happy I chose the à Chronographe..

.. Well, for a 2nd Duomêtre, although I still like the Quant. Lunaire, I guess I’ll pick one of the UTTs, which is still a little intellectual vs emotional struggle.. Thx for this food for thoughts, my friend ! Best, hs

Very very hard to pick a favourite here

if both are outside reach, then probably the moon phase for me.

Not a easy choice at least for me!

Nicolas my friend! In your picture, like you said, the two together look very consistent & IMO very nice together. Almost like a set. Up until now, these are the only black dial duometres in the duometre family & both being limited edition. You already kn... 

For sheer technicality, I would often go with the Chrono...

However, most people underestimate the technical achievement in the QL's escapement-dedicated spring and how the seconds can be re-set while the balance wheel is still in-play. We've never really talked about this achievement. -Dean

A pair to dream of.
