Triple celebration today - Duomètre Chronograph Black Dialed arrived ...
Team,
December 14th is a very important date to me.
I got married, 43 years ago if one ask, and my daughter was born at this same day (different year, of course).
To celebrate, my black dialed Duomètre arrived yesterday and today, the 14th, I took my first pictures of it.
To any non watch addict, my behavior can be called childish but I wake up early, just as a kid I did on the Christmas day, looking for my gifts.
Here are the first pictures of this gorgeous (IMHO) chronograph:
1) Against the sunrise
2) A wrist shot
3) Another angle
4) The fantastic (some may call it "steampunk") movement
5) A B&W shot
Now, I must decide what to do with the other Duomètre chronograph in pink gold. I don't think that I should keep it.
It looks that it go to get no wrist time, when compared with the black one!
Thanks for seeing.
Cheers,
Nilo

Huge congratulations for this one Nilo
I suppose you\'re one of the happiest men in the world today. Enjoy and wear this wonderful timepiece in good health. Best wishes Alkiro
Three congratulations are in order then...
... the last for this amazing, words-can\'t-describe piece. One of my favorites - but that black dial just makes it stratospheric! Sublime pictures, and watch of course! Wear it in the best of health. Julian
Congratulations! What a way to celebrate a memorable and meaningful date.
Childish, maybe. But that's also true with this hobby. We cherish our watches with the same joy and emotion we have for our childhood toys.
Bloody brilliant!
Two duometre Chrono! Not a bad position to be in. Congratulations, the black dial looks great, fantastic choice. And congratulations to you and your partner on your anniversary! I agree, sell. You only need one, I think that having two watches with just d...
I'm unsure that it will be two for a long time ...
Need to think more about. Cheers, Nilo
Well, triple congratulations then :)
The black is in a league of its own, but I think there is room for the dial as well
There's always room for one more watch ...
But I need to trim down a little bit. Thanks and cheers, Nilo
Huge congratulations for this superb catch, my friend.
And for all these birthdays. The White gold black dial adds coolness to elegance. I fear your rose gold one is in danger. Enjoy ! Best Nicolas
It's your fault ...
You keep showing those mesmerizing pieces and ... What a poor soul can do? Resistance is futile. Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations, times three, Nilo!
And those are, as usual, some gorgeous photographs. Wear your new beauty in health, and while celebrating theses great life events!
Thank you sir ..
We go to celebrate today, babysitting our youngest granddaughter for our daughter go our with her husband! But we like to do this. Cheers, Nilo
Wow dear Nilo!! Looks like you have a lot to celebrate today December 14th!!...
... and a lot of nice motives to be happy!! Congrats on your personal celebration dates of marriage and daughter birthday and of course for this fabulous time machine you got on your wrist today. A magnificent timepiece for sure! I wish you´ll enjoy and l...
Wow! Beautiful photos of a stunning watch!
❤️ this watch very much myself and I hope I can be as fortunate as you to add it to my modest collection some day in the future. Enjoy this piece of chronograph perfection!
I'm hunting this watch since I decided to have a Duomètre ...
I need to register a huge "Thank you" to my sales lady from the Boutique and to the entire JLC team here. They hunt and deliver this piece. Major work. Cheers, Nilo
Big triple congrats my friend!
I'm really so happy for you! What a cool piece! And to get it just at the very right date is more than just a symbol, it is a divine sign ! Enjoy it (I am SURE you wil ), and wear it in the best of health! Mike BTW, all pics are great but the first one ag...
Thank you Mike ...
The first picture was a product of my anxiety to capture this watch. The Sun was raising, but I could not wait for the light to show up. Cheers, Nilo
Huge triple congrats! Now it is easy to know the birthday of this watch.
This version is one of the nicest and seems only can find it preowned or someone's unworned condition....good for you, lucky your local team can do it. I'm not that keen into hunting, too much work to locate, travel to meet etc. Rgds Raymond
Thank you Raymond ...
I have the same problem with hunting and I'm happy to have real friends that do this professionally. Cheers, Nilo
Happy day then! You're a lucky man, enjoy this beautiful watch!
Also, thanks for the picture, it is one of the most beautiful watches (ever?). Best, E.
Thank you E. ...
I don't dare to call any watch "the most beautiful" because, like in everything, there always be another "most beautiful". It is one of my most beautiful that I have, along with a few that I have the pleasure to own. Great idea for a weekend wrist scan: "...
Congratulations...
The black duomètre will be a solid reminder of all these wonderful things. How could your PG duomètre compete with that?!
Thank you Sebi ...
But paraphrasing an old advert here, "One don't forget the first Duomètre". Cheers, Nilo
Congratulation, dear Nilo!
Stunning watch! But I must say that I am leaning slightly towards the White dial/Rose Gold ... Because of the structure of the white dial! Best Blomman
I understand your love ...
I also love the "eggshell" dial of the PG. Someday I go to put the two on a single shot and we can see better. Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations Nilo. Same decision to ponder here...
I've been wrestling with losing the RG version for two years but haven't been able to let go. Dave ...
Now I understand...
It will be nearly impossible to let go the PG, even considering that it go to receive less wrist time (golden things here attract criminals like flies). Thanks for the picture of the pair. Cheers, Nilo
I got the RG when it first came out...
If the WG version would have been available at the time I would probably just have it as I prefer it to the RG. But alas it is nice to have both as they look good as a pair...very different.
Watches are even greater when they remind you of fond memories and special occasions
Big congratulations, Nilo. It's a beautiful timepiece for a beautiful occasion. I'm sure this will bring you tremendous joy. Ken
Thank you Ken ...
I need to mention this to my family on our next gathering. Cheers, Nilo
Wow, that are three good reasons to celebrate!
Big congratulations from my side too, dear Nilo! The first thing that came to mind when I saw your pictures of the black dial was: How powerful it looks! I can understand well that you are thinking about letting the RG one go. How parallels arise: The ide...
Thank you Martin ...
You are partially correct (as everything on human endeavors). Variations are the spice of our short existence and, as of now, I'm deciding to keep both until another big motivation changes my mind. Let's see if, on my meager Xmas holidays, I can do a "fam...
Congrats indeed!
And nothing wrong with having a pair of duometres - one in wg and one in rg! ...
Pheww !. What a timepiece, what a pleasure it provides to you !.. My sincere Congrats to this fantastic catch.. The 1st pic is.. well..
.. almost transcendent !.. the Black vs the gold vs the sky make a stunning shot ! But also the other pics are memerizing, needless to say ! Thus, wear this juwel in the very Best of your health ! Cheers & kind regards, hs
Tripple congratulations!
And many thanks for your amazing pics... I\'m sure more to come ;o)
Whoa!!
I have lusted over the white one in in boutique windows - but the black one truly looks spectacular!! Congrats and wear in good health!
