Just for the pleasure...
I had the chance to cross the way of these 2 Black Beauties, today, at the JLC Boutique...
So, I took a series of pictures, but for the moment, just one which means a lot.
On the Left, the Duometre à Chronographe, in White Gold.
On the right, the Duometre à Quantième Lunaire, in White Gold, too.
When I first saw the Duometre à Q.L in Geneva, at the 2010 SIHH, I was very pleased by nthe watch, and deceived by the moonphase.
I'm still pleased, even more, with this black dial and the white metal case, and very nicely surprised by this moonphase.
A lot has to be said about this watch, these Black Beauties, so, I will work on my pics and on the text, and will come back, later.
Best,
Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-05-20 13:50:05

great photo
Very nice teaser Nicholas! Both really beautiful pieces. Looking forward to seeing more, best my friend. Christian
I am in my Duometre period, currently.
I took several pictures to prepare one or two topics about them. It just takes time, and if I have a moment, will try to take other pics of the Q.L only. There is indeed a lot to say about these Duos! Thanks for your nice words, Christian. Best, Nicolas.
Ohhh.. One more time .. I will hold my breath .. :)
.. and enjoy pictures and future text in anticipating sweet pain , but also joy ! Looking forward of course, Thanks for this absolutely wonderful pic, - contributing to a sleepless phase, where the knowledge and the recent posst & encounters with other so...
It is incredible how a black dial changes the face of the world, hs.
Something tells me that you won't disagree with me... Once you tasted the " dark side ", it is difficult to come back. Best, my friend. Coffee? Best, Nicolas
TO: The Black Lord.. Lost knight already .. :)
.. I consider myself, (un)fortunately. Since seen this Dark Mysterious Lady, - well and also in addition the Chrono in black, - Yes, it's song can be very tempting, definitely for me, BUT for the moment .. - Peu de Patience .. - Absolutely agree, my Lord,...
I was just going to say something along those lines...
There's no shortage of movement decoration here, and these 2 pieces (I am told a particular expert) exceed ANYTHING PP or Lange have out....but you would know better Nicolas. It's these pieces that I hope JLC will keep as slow-release, continually adverti...
I'm sharing your observations and thoughts, Dean.
About the Duometre, I was told ( in October 2009 ) that there were a few hundreds made ( à chronographe ), and my guess is that JLC wants to see this Duometre lasting quite a long time. I don't see why it would be different for the Q.L which is a mor...
this is what I want!
I love the watches. And, the good news, is that they are SO far out of my reach that I can thoroughly enjoy them without worrying about breaking the bank. That is because they are TOTALLY beyond my financial reach. So, keep them coming Nicolas! As a side ...
Well, Sancerre, getting or not getting it is not the most important.
Knowing that some Beauties exist, in this world, is already a feast. Well, it is better if you can get it, true. Pleasure is not a question of money: I can't afford an Aston, but each time I see one in the street, it makes my day. As for the Vintage, yes,...
Hmmm The one on left...
Have I seen that before? Looks familiar and still my favorite of the two. Perhaps evnof the the line. And agree the moon phase is a improved on this one. Best Christian
Dream, Reality, Fantasy...
I have to replace my Duometre à Chronographe in platinum, which is part of the watches which have gone, sadly... The Black sister could be a great alternative, for sure. Unless I go on the Q.L, or even better, on both. Don't really know which one is ...
It will be more interesting to have a series of full pictures, rather than just one.
Will do it as soon as I have the time to work on them. Best, Nicolas.
Very pleasurable indeed.
Absolutely awesome picture of two stunning black beauties. Interesting to note that the Chronographe is still available. The tough part is choosing one over another. Wonderful executed but one thing that bugs me is the plate 'No xxx/200' on the dial side....
I agree that it would be better if the plate mentionned the movement number ...
Rather than the LE number, which I don't care at all, or, better said, I would have preferred seeing that these 2 black are limited in production than in Edition. But, for once, it is not a too high LE, which is a good thing. Best, and thanks for your enc...
Great shot..
and you composed the shot encompassing the two most interesting parts of the dial from both pieces... Love the Chrono and admire the moonphase...ARGH..too bad my banker will not allow it! Nice one counselor!
Wait to see the other part! :) And the 2 movements side by side, too.
There are truly some very interesting things on these 2 black Beauties. I'm often deceived by the moonphases, but here, I'm fascinated by its design, its feeling. Best, Nicolas.
Just beautiful!
Great shot of two lovely pieces. Do keep postin'em for us, Nic! We love'em.
Looking forward to it Nicolas
JLC has done a phenomenal job on these two pieces! Rahul
The Duometre line rocks, truly.
My absolute favourite line among all the JLC families of products. There is such an interesting homogeneity on these watches! Thanks, Rahul. Best. Nicolas;
Its my favorite too Nicolas
And that is saying a lot! But alas, it is not affordable for me. Well it is, but then I would probably have to allocate my annual 'watch fund' to it, and there have been too many great pieces, haha Any chance they will do one in steel Nicolas? After all, ...
In steel, the Duometre? No, Rahul.
JLC, when they released the Duometre, in 2007, clearly stated that there will not be a Duometre in any other metal than a precious one. The Perpetual Calendar you're speakingf about doesn'tg have the same level if finish and decoration, it is targetted in...
I'm currently working on the topic, my friend.
Seems I'm engaged on the long version. Best and thanks for the nice comment; Nicolas.
I don t like this black Duometre watches...
hi hi.... Seduced since I saw the black chrono, mesmerized when I saw that blue disc on the QL, daydreaming ever since...... Best looking watch case in a while,best feeling when on the wrist all the time I strap it on,exciting all the time.... Did I menti...
Without revealing my future post, I must say that the WG Duometres ...
Are easy AND lasting Loves, while the Pt Duometre à Chronographe is more understated, discrete, but not less appealing. The RG is a nice compromise: Less understated, warmer. The WG? A killing piece! Best, my friend. Nicolas.
As I said before..
The RG Chrono has an elegance that comes from the grained dial that is umbeatable for me.....retro and modern,with presence and beauty. There was almost no reason to go for a RG QL even though its a marvel,because its a very similar watch in feelings and ...
Hmm ,we'll discuss about the similarities between the QL and the Chrono, Mo ...
It is not that easy.... To say all, it is really tempting to get the pair, even in blacck. Still have to work on my post... Will be a long one. Best, Nicolas.
