A picture I like a lot: Jaeger Lecoultre Master Chronograph Sector Dial and Pocket Watch Chronograph Rattrapante.

The kind of Jaeger Lecoultre I like a lot, a cool looking modern chronograph which has a link with the past: 




Here the link is obvious, on the aesthetics. The 6 / 12, the sector dial, the blue tachymeter. 

If only the Master Chronograph could be manual winding AND Rattrapante! 

Best,

Nicolas

That pocket watch

Is a real bomb! Wow, it must be quite something to handle such a historic piece

Oh yes. I was lucky to take several pictures of that one. An unforgettable moment, at the Heritage Gallery.

I am definitely with you on that pocket watch…

You know my love for these very seductive grannies 😉
Of course the Master Chronograph is not shabby at all but we are in another league…

Seductive grannies! LOL

Indeed, a totally different league. Imagine a modrn horological expression of this pocket Chrono!

Wow this pocket chronometer is a killer ! Rattrapante is such a fascinating complication love it !

the long leaf-style hands on the pocket watch!

That is something they should have opted for this Master Chronograph, indeed.

Absolutely lovely pieces, and the pocket watch a gem on its own

No message body

Agreed, my friend.

Any idea why they discontinued these sector dials?

They were easily some of the best models they came out with in recent years.

Because they were made to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Master Control 1000 Hours, in 2017. So, they were made in 2017 only.

Makes sense. Still, it’s a shame they didn’t make it permanent. This was a great design

 
 By: Boris : October 27th, 2021-23:17

They are not that rare. You can hunt one, my friend.

A manual winding Duometre chrono rattrapante with a black dial… I have a dream that one day ;-)

 
 By: Alfihar : October 27th, 2021-06:48

Funny, strangely we share the same dream... :)

 
 By: amanico : October 27th, 2021-07:39

Probably not anymore… now… unless…

 
 By: Alfihar : November 1st, 2021-06:45

I do understand your point, very well.

 
 By: amanico : November 1st, 2021-06:49

They could invent a new complication: the rattrapante screw ... shit !!! it's already done 😂😂😂

 
 By: Alfihar : November 1st, 2021-06:57

LOL!
