As per suggested: Jaeger Lecoulte Duomètre Roll Call!
Duometre à Chronographe, Quantième Lunaire, Spherotourbillon, Unique Travel Time or Grande Sonnerie, show us what you have. Let's show, through this Roll Call, how much we love the Duometre. Let me start with mine, the Duometre à Chronographe, White Gold ...
For me the Quantieme Lunaire in enamel
That’s the one I still have a weak spot for. The bright white dial and blue accents makes it very special to me.... [picture borrowed from Hodinkee] ...
I wish I could play in this post.
No Duometre for me, but darn that's a exceptional watch on both sides. M4
Liked it so much, I bought two...
The truth had the white gold with black dial been available when first introduced I would not have bought the rose gold....the white is my favourite. Nonetheless, two may be better than one Dave ...
Beautiful watch
See, this is why I don’t visit this forum very often. I call it wallet damage limitation!
Almost got this one but sadly it didn’t happen. I prefer the solid dial
Someday it will happen. All the best, Tony ...
Hah, you're not the only one apparently! Not a single owner yet of a Duometre with the windows in the dial has posted....
I wonder what if the windowed dials are actually more rare than the "limited" editions, wrist shots of those variants seems rare....
Fantastic idea
my grail chrono is the black dial. I think because it is not available new I push it back because used is used, but perhaps as time goes on they will have less availability of nice conditions pieces? May have to make it a priority.
New, used, matters less when there are so few
I think it's all about finding a good one and jumping on it when the opportunity arises. I haven't seen any for sale that weren't in great shape, these aren't beater watches. In the past month or so a few black dials have popped up which is unusual. Add t...
I noticed that
actually in December in inquired about one for sale, it had no service history, so I wanted price reduction equal to service (I looked it up, I believe 1800?) which was declined. Now I see two more on a different reseller. Those have mismatch box and one ...
Great thread Nico!
Love the Duometre, and it’s firmly on my wish-list, though not yet in hand. The splash of colour on yours is fantastic. A great reference. Had the pleasure to try one some time back. All the best, Niall ...
Definitely!
Question is, which version? Ideally several if possible via a bunch of winning lottery numbers
Yes, lots of choice.
My preference would be 1) white gold black dial, or 2) UTT with chiseled dial... but I’m saying that, I’ve recently seen a RG at a very good price, so it’s quite tempting indeed!
I had the pleasure to try this some time ago.
A fantastic reference in all formats to be fair! ...
You know I am in for this thread Nico. You and I both have a soft spot for the Duometres
Here are my 3. I plan on adding a Duometre Lunaire with the white enamel dial in the future and if JLC comes out with a Duometre in tantalum I would be ALL IN on that as well 😁 ...
No UTT for me as I have WAY too many GMTs and travel watches already. I also prefer to wear sportier, more casual watches when traveling as well 😉👍
But if JLC came out with a Duometre sports watch or even another casual/dress watch in tantalum (UTT or whatever) I would jump in with hesitation 😁
Well then, you need to PUSH this thought to Jerome and/or your contacts at JLC 😁😉💪...
I am sure Jerome still has some pull at JLC even though he is no longer there. He is head of Richemont for a reason 😉
Great thread, Nico — and great pieces, gentlemen!
I am now busy educating myself about the Duometre — what an amazing line from JLC!
Great idea! Let me join your call with my WG Lunaire
Best of health to all ps I agree with the Caption ! ...
i don't have one but my fav out of all Duometre is....
the Duometre UTT Paris boutique edition....love the texture of the dial and a very very utilitarian complication ! thanks for an wonderful picture mon amis Best, mahesh., ...
Merci 😃
Love the watch but, for the life of me, I cannot get a good shot no matter how hard I try. Especially the dial which is gorgeous.
So true, the dial is really hard to capture.
I think my cell phone wants to process the dial texture as image noise or something. Not an easy watch to photograph casually.
Exactly, most phone cameras will pick it up as noise. The best shots I have made have been with a DSLR 🤷♂️
This being the best shots I've had And the best shot with my phone. ...
Nice! That subtle snailing of the subdials in the 2nd and 3rd pics is really tough to pickup.
It's basically invisible to my phone and you need to really get the light just right.
No texture on the yellow gold dial and...
This is the closest I have been able to do using a DSLR: ...
You just need ALOT of lighting, the best source being natural sunlight which shows the amazing and grainy dial
And make sure it is not directly reflecting the crystal. For example 😁 ...
Glad to chime in as well!
Managed to get my hands on this one just as the world was getting ready to close down completely. It’s the black dial Chronographe that I’ve been chasing for a long time. My absolute favourite duo. I like the way the German silver ages in the movement. ...
I am thanking you. I was very much influenced by you on this one Nico.
I only had 1 JLC left so I’m glad to be back where I want to be with the watchmaker’s watchmaker. Thanks for the poisoning!
CONGRATS!! That is another black dial WG Duometre à Chronographe. WPS definitely has the most Duometre à Chronographe in platinum and WG (black dial) than any other forum 😁💪🔥💥
And I also love how the German silver develops a patina as well. Just adds to the charm of the watch 👍
