JLC SIHH 2011: The Duometre à Quantième Lunaire in white gold.
The Duometre in one of the most exciting and interesting offer, from " La Grande Maison ". First introduced in 2007, the Duometre revisited the Chronograph, and opted for a Foudroyante. It came in Yellow Gold, Rose Gold and Platinum. In 2009, another fant...
Dark Knight .. Elegant strength.. Quite special !
This is very .. well- remarkable, fascinating, myserious a bit.. Although not in the position to really comment,so just convey feelings : - For me, this piece quite dramatically herewith changes personality, to a stronger, yet elegant edition. Yes, someho...
I'm still struggling to know if I prefer the smooth black dial or the grained one.
I'm a big fan of the grained dial, but, at the contrary of the Duometre à Chronogaph, there is no white metal grained dial Duometre à Q.L. So, to me, the only choice is the WG version, when it comes to the Q.L. But I'm thinking about the Chorongraph, and ...

Well, I also discovered that it was one of the most interesting watch ...
To write about... So many things to say, so many sentiments to feel, so much pleasure... Next stage, a comparison post between the Pt Duometre à Chronographe and the White Gold one, with some macros of both dials. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edit...
*** sigh ***
Why do the good ones have to be limited editions. There's no boutique here so I can only hope that I'll get to see one at some stage. Regards, Richard.
The Duometre à Q.L is not a Boutique exclusivity, even in WG, Richard.
So, keep the faith! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Forgot to ask - although 'trivial' and mundane in a way ..
Just for completion, comparison and my curiosity: - the list prizes for Duométre á Q.L. In RG/ YG, I remember to have been around 25/26,5 k ( post from 2010 by Dje, if I remember ; but maybe that meanwhile has been moved upwards..), which is putting the W...
All the Duometre à Q.L ( and the à Chronographes, by the way )
Saw their price increase, since the 1st of April. 8 / 10 %. So the difference between the RG and the WG is around a bit less than 20%. Best, Nicolas.
What can i say.....simply superb....
no words can describe my admiration for the Duometre line and now for this black QL... Thank you for the clear great shots Nico... I love it. Mo
One last comment...
it is peculiar how this model doesnt come with the deployante buckle.It is very strange as many models from JLC come with it and especially at this level. All the Duometre family comes with it apart from this WG version.Is there a reason for it? Consideri...
You're right, Mo.
Well, you have to know that, if I remember it well, ALL the Duometre à Q.L saw their price increasing this year. If I'm not wrong, the YG and RG are more towards 28 K euros, now, while the WG is 32 000 Euros, which makes a difference of around 15 %. I wou...
I must say that the deployante..
is not extremely expensive like other brands.....so maybe ..in the future... You are right though,the gap is around 4k and it has the simple buckle.a bit much but.....maybe WG is more expensive?Or a little premium for the LE?Or the dial requires more work...
The gap is even smaller, I think, between the YG and the WG.
JLC is not the only one to ask for a premium on their WG watches. I don't think all the brands do it, but a lot have this strategy. So it may be due to the metal, to the L.E phenomenon, too. As for the buckle, yes, I saw it again, 3 days ago, and loved it...
Thanks, EWC.
Are you located in Boston, by the way? This name sounds familiar, to me. Best! Nicolas.
Yes
Yes we are right in the middle of downtown Boston on Newbury Street. Thanks again Joshua
awesome piece...
... black face on white metal has become my favorite combination now stefan
Strong and fatal combination, indeed!
It is like if this combination made the piece more evident, easier to appreciate... Best, Nicolas.
Talk about Dark Knight! :)
What a beauty! Guess Mo is going crazy over these photos! Don’t know what to say about this watch that has not already been said. It’s absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing this one, my friend! Best Blomman
You HAD a dream…?!
Does this mean you pulled the trigger on this one, Mo?! Best Blomman
Who knows?!?!?
Lets see what fate has for me.......but anyway I HAD this dream since I saw it!!!You know the feeling right??? Mo
He, he :)
You mean cookies like this, HS?! :: )) Dark cookies... Best Blomman This message has been edited by blomman on 2011-04-26 13:23:46...
A vvvery nice dark side .. (Almost) speechless ! :)))
I knew, you have been on the dark side for quite a while .. ( but I equally know, you have endangered the light side as well, If I remember correctly .. - haven't you ?) - Fun, ehh ?? Nice to meet you there, under the umbrella of Our Dark Lord ! Thanks fo...
OUCH! Your photo of there memos gives me the worst sting.
Such a strong and confident collection. Add the DSA and it will be an invincible collection. Here's to many nightmare of mine. Best Tyler
Wow, amazing!
With this 'choir' you have very few excuses left to miss or be late for an appointment! Ever tried to have them ring all together!?
Humm
I will take the two last right " black cookies". The seem so lonely. I'm starving and they may placate my cravings for a few weeks. He he. Cheers
Thank you all for your kind words!
But my intention was not to draw focus from the Duometre à Quantième Lunaire! Just as a comment to HS’s post… ... Sorry… Will post something about Dark Knights in a separate post. Best Blomman
A watch to think about, Blomman.
As I previously said ( and I think it won't be the last time I will say it ), the Duometres, in my opinion are among the nicest offers from JLC. One of, if not MY, favourite JLC family. Best, Nicolas.
I totally agree with you, Nicolas!
My only problem is that you will get many Memos for the price of one Duometre… My stomach can’t take any more noodles..! Best, my friend Blomman
Unless you do a strict selection in your collection ...
Let's see how... You keep the fundamentals, you sell the rest, you find the funds, and you jump on the Duometre. Simple plan, isn't it? Best, Nicolas.
I was saddened too by the recent constant absence of Platinum from the JLC novelties
Both last year and this year. You are right in pointing out several points, such as the global economy's state, the premium for Platinum, which causes the already minority who is able to afford such pieces to diminish even further. But i find that it is i...
Well, Stephen, for you, there will always be a solution.
The Duometre à Chronographe, which is available in platinum since 2008. And if you want a platinum watch from the 2011 collection, the MGT Tourbillon is for you. Nonetheless, I agree with you that I would be pleased to see more platinum watches among the ...
Sacre bleu mon ami!
( is that how you spell it? ) But the MGT 43 is remontage automatique!! How dreadful to even think of it! Alas, nothing for me. Yes the chronograph is nice, i still get to see it here and there during my travels, but i'd like to see something totally new,...
Sacrebleu. Yes. The Duometre à Chrono is not totally new?
It may be one of the most original chrono conception! The grained dial of the pt version is awesome, and if you're in search of a certain exclusivity, go for the Boutique Edition, with its uniqe white dial. Next year? Yes, my guess is that there will be s...
Merci for the language help!
Although i think i'm reading that the use is obsolete in France already? The concept of the Duometre is very unique i will agree, but i think it's not what i am looking for exactly. Well, i do wish to own more JLC, but for JLC when i think of it, i think ...
A great pleasure in reading your work this morning Nicolas
I realize I've just noticed that its dial doesn't have the 2 "windows" through the dial behind the 2 power reserve hands (as for the pink gold version). What I find most stunning is the contrast between the black dial and the all blue tone moonphase disk,...
This Chromatic partition is impressive, indeed. Strong and beautiful.
The WG is so different than the colored gold versions, now. Thanks for your input, Mark. Best, Nicolas;
Great read...
and I held off on this post as I love the QL (just not the Foudroyante) and wanted a quiet moment to enjoy the post and the photos. Having seen it in January along with the Chrono, its a great piece and a lot of bang for the buck. Thanks for the backgroun...
Perfect timing
Many thanks for sharing Nicolas, hope to get even more information about this Beauty going forward! Today my AD received his first WG version so I had pay him a visit... attached some extremely lousy pictures taken by my mobile (sorry, not a iPhone user)....
Thanks for your enthusiastic input, Ambos.
Here is a more detailed post on the Duometre à Q.L: jlc.watchprosite.com seems that the black dial makes a big difference on our appreciation of the Duometre à Q.L. Not that the colored gold versions were not to love, but a white metal Duometre à Q.L was ...
Nice Nicolas...
So many watches...So little cash :-( You need to do something about this. -- Richard.
Actually, Richard...
There are not so many watches which drive me completely crazy. The Duometres are among them. You see, I immediately have more cash! Best, Nicolas;
This Wg Duometre QL is still haunting me...
ever since I tried it on, a couple of months ago. Still not sure if it is the kind of watch for me though, but it is one that I can't get out of my mind. Thanks for the report and pictures Nicolas. Best, Goh
Is this a watch for me?
That is an excellent question, my friend. If it depends on your lifestyle, this Duo is very polyvalent. I mean you can wear it formal or casual, there is no special problem. But it may depend on many other factors: This is the killing question, but a damn...
Very beautiful watch but,...
I like the rose gold better. it's because the front is partially skeletonized, I love that aspect of the dail in the rose gold version. I also would have liked to see a platinum version, white gold is just to fragile. Thanks for the post! Cheers SamEE
I'm happy you wrote that, Sam.
I loved the Duometre à Q.L at first sight, and it was last year when the colored gold versions were introduced. While I much prefer white metal cases, I must admit that the colored gold wroks very well on the Q.L, giving it a very nice retro touch. T...
Duo are one of JLC best creation
When I see the WG Duometre, it is unappealing to me, maybe the gold chrono hand is too strong, the black dial is very contrast with the case, just bit boring. but this WG QL is totally different, what change them is the blue moonphase, looks much more ele...
Can't agree more on the natural appeal of the Duometre.
Aesthetically and mechanically. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Best, Nicolas.
I Like THe yellow Gold Version
I like the Yellow Gold Version More~!!, i wanted a Boutique Version of No.8 but it was sold and i can't get anymore, they'll lookout for a No.88 for me, so i'll be just waiting,~ Thanks
Congratulations in advance, Chew.
Please post pictures as soon as you can. It is always a pleasure to see a Duometre à Q.L, being in RG, YG or WG. Great news! Best, Nicolas.
