I'm a lucky impatient guy who is waiting for his Duo to come, but a Lucky Guy to live in Paris where we have an easy access to some marvels of Horology, for sure!
Well, not mine, as I'm waiting for the platinum version which will be delivered further... For the moment, Rose Gold are the first, and a few will be delivered to some few ADs. But the important thing is to know that they are arrived, isn't it? And to exa...
Well, I was considering passing by the AD as well, but Icouldn't make it yesterday. Too bad, I'll just keep in memory the proto I had in hands. But the finish definitely looks, enhanced compared to the proto ! Regarding the dial, your macros show the irre...
I can't wait to see this beauty when it arrives.It is truly a magnificent piece and from your photos the level of finish of the movement is right there with the best of them.A wonderful achievement for JLC! Thanks for whetting our appetites again. Regards...
Oh my god. Some weeks ago I had the duometre on my wrist. Its somethig impressive. I think its an absolute work of art. With your permission, I will take the pics in the spanish forum "Relojes Especiales"
Ooops… I didn’t mention I got a crappy 200 kbps connection. LOL!!! The trip into the movement is the highlight, IMHO. There are some watches that tempt us to use them with their dial facing the wrist, but this Duometre just brings this dementia to a whole...
Hi Nicolas After seeing the watch in person last week it just reconfirms my need for one and happy I have put in a request for one. Thank you very much for the excellent pics. Bill
I think an OPEN DIAL will get another dimension to this DUOMETRE, like for AMVOX. It will be a non classical watch but how incredible,IMHO. Hope JLC thinks about that suggestion, Cheers, Patrickh
As this Duo Metre is an hommage to the old and fine watch making, I'm not dsure that an open dial will fit the spirit of this watch... I think it's better like this. But the Chrono is the first of what will certainly be a great family! Best. Nicolas
PRETTY.... PRETTY......PRETTY COOL :-D damn i love this watch, and i love the price point JLC has decided on... the watch could have came sooner.. but its a beauty and worth the wait...
A beautiful report and great pics. The most interesting in this watch is the architecture of the caliber. I really find it impressive. And what a pleasure to see a new watch with a foudroyante. We can see the difference of the final version with the previ...
Yo Nic, I've always admired your accessibility to these fine watches. Your pix and writeups of the duo is awesome man!! The movement, wow, it looks as good as Dato! Ok, how about the chrono pusher? As smooth as Dato? Sorry no offense guys, it's quite hard...
...encore,bravo! Have to agree though that the dial looks a little rough on extreme macro, but if that is the biggest issue it has been a good day. Particularly like the fact that the sunburst pattern on the bridges is centred on the 'heart' of the watch ...
… to have the sunburst pattern focused on the balance, the ‘heart’ as you appropriately call it, but does anyone think that its should be focused on the ‘brain’, the column wheel? Perhaps it depends if this watch appeals more to your emotional or intellec...
of the front side of the calibre, just under the dial? I suppose it must be as nice as the back side. I am sure you are now waiting for, except if you already have seen it or even got it in your picture's library. Thanks a lot my friend. Best, Patrickh
Hi my lucky friend, I'll try my luck at the boutique on Monday. Maybe it will be gone already! This Duometre is awesome. The pink gold version is my favorite! This is really a dream watch and may soon become the ultimate manual wind chrono for collectors,...
I think the yellow gold is 300 pieces, but are the rose and white gold going to be in regular production? I ask as I want one but won't be able to go for it this year. However, I may miss the chance if they are al limited production! Thanks. Simon
enjoyabel masterpiece from Nicolas Manufacture But I have one question... how many people were holding you while they were taking the Duometre from your wrist Damian
HI NICOLAS, Thanks a milloion on this initial preview of the REAL watch.......cant resist the temptation. on my way to get one now!LOLOLO..... THANKS... regards, BHK9
So we will be brothers in watches! LOL You won't be decieved, let me tell you... I just wanna be able to see your face when you'll see it in real! Sure that it will be ...Love at Third sight! LOLOL Best, my friend. Nicolas
Dear Nicolas, Nowsaday,you talk like Magician than like a Moderator?LOLOLO....(can see my face when i see one)? You think Duometre is like crstal ball enable one to see someone's face inside?LOLOLO...... Thanks. BHK9
I'm glad JLC have improved the finish for the delivered watch as compared with the prototype. It was already good, but perhaps just not quite good enough for the importance of this watch. Your pics really are superb. Cheers Tony P
i thought the watch was superb in the flesh and these pics just highlight the detail. the dial is superbly balanced. it is one for my wishlist. thanks Nicholas. Graham
Love the subtile introduction: "the feeling of high quality is impressive on the current Duo Metre." Current ?? Meaning present ?? Meaning new one ?? Please Amanico, stop this teasing
As for the camera, each compact Sony will give you the same result. Just be sure that it is equipped with a loupe ( symbol ) and you will do the same pics, my friend. Best. Nicolas
Thanks. it's a beautiful watch . A few comments/questions if I may:- - is it 9 hands rather than 8 (the chrono having 1 more for the foudroyante)? - was the dial texture (graininess) deliberate to bring out that old world feeling? - beautiful as the movem...
...this fantastic watch!!!! While I now you are a white metal fan, you showed us the rich color of red Gold!!! 2 questions: Is there a YG model? And second: I heard that this watch is the first in a whole family... Which will be the second one? I wish you...
