This is an incredibly beautiful and cool piece. Generates strong “want” feelings whenever I see one!

Hope you find your enamel version and Paris version soon!

Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronographe White Gold, Black Dial. 6th Anniversary!

 
 By: amanico : December 26th, 2022-09:26
There are watches we love for their cool factor, others for their beauty, or their refinement and class. There are few watches which gather all these qualities. This is indisputably the case of the Duometre, which, moreover, adds a touch of originality du...  

What an amazing post, dear Nico.

And it couldn’t be timelier as I’d been discussing (with a colleague) how he should get a Duometre and a Zeitwerk, as opposed to choosing between the two. Two watches at the pinnacle of watchmaking, IMHO. Whatever happened with your original Duometre (in ...

It's by far the best version of the Duometre

It packs a loud visual punch while remaining understated. This is proof that a simple dial change can give so much to a watch.

Let's hope so!

I hope I heard well. ;)

Ah the mesmerising Duometre!

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : December 26th, 2022-10:49
The dial and movement is as perfect as I feel it can be made! What a post, and what a watch!!!

Like the Purists !

Yep!

An untapped gold mine...

 
 By: Alfihar : December 28th, 2022-08:11

True, true!

Thank you, Z!

Wonderful homage to the Duometre.

I also share your (negative) comment about the folding clasp : quite uncomfortable on the wrist. Pretty soon after I got my watch I ordered a matching (19mm) PT pin buckle from JLC : definitely much much better in comfort! Best, Gerard

Extremely charming, the story, the watch, the man 😁

That Duomètre really is a dream! The movement design and style of finishing, even mostly machine made, is absolutely gorgeous to my eyes. However, you really need the love as the price hurts a bit in the current market. Yes it's unique, yes it is a big ma... 

No of course the 40 for the Pt Chrono WAS fair...

 
 By: RayStantzPhD : December 26th, 2022-22:27
... I was more referring to the red gold versions of today in the range of 55-60.

And in the second market?

 
 By: amanico : December 26th, 2022-22:37

Some offers are great, we'll see if these raise in the future if they bring new models and keep rising the retail...

 
 By: RayStantzPhD : December 27th, 2022-09:51
If not, that could be a way. It definitely is a watch worth lusting and saving for...

What I firmly think.

 
 By: amanico : December 27th, 2022-10:20

The movement on the duemetre is simply spectacular and unique. It has a massive vibe for some of its thick components yet also some very refined area, more delicate and unique

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 26th, 2022-13:38
Maybe I am not describing it properly, but everytime I see it, I find it very different from any movement out there

Your style is unmatched.

The platinum and black dial and the duometres to have. What a watch. Your championing of your ref has definitely helped jlc move them, without a doubt

6 years already, I can hardly believe it has been so long since you added this version.

 
 By: MichaelC : December 26th, 2022-15:52
I recall the original platinum of course, and the posts leading up to this special model. Your love for this collection is well known. I look forward to seeing the added ones in the future!

A nice goal !

The black QL coud be a good goal too.... Best O ...  

Oh yes! The Black Gang. ;)

Hope a black UTT for a Gang bang ;-)

And aventurine dial ;-)

 
 By: Alfihar : December 28th, 2022-08:24

Black or blue aventurine?

 
 By: amanico : December 28th, 2022-08:38

fascinating story, I am truly happy that you could replace it!

 
 By: christianch : December 26th, 2022-19:07
the black dial is somehow always very cool, especially when so superbly executed by JLC. Thanks to your inspiring posts I also got a Duometre this year (Unique Travel time) will give it more wrist time in 2023 Thanks ! Christian

Superb watch, wonderful love story 🫶👌👌

Duometre

I saw one f these at Borscheims many years ago. Love this watch . Kind of amazing the the split second hands look like they are are on the same pinion together but operate independently .

not Split second

 
 By: EtienneWheeler : December 28th, 2022-01:10
Thanks for clarifying . It had been a long time since I had seen one. Just going by memory . Still nice watch .

Well played! ;)

Hope is a good feeling

 
 By: Alfihar : December 28th, 2022-08:14

Always! ;)

A very nice post from the most beautiful / consistent duometer in my opinion.... It exudes love.
