Team,

I wake up this morning, took some pictures and I was thinking "this is the end" or there will be more watches for me?

First "The Doors Live at The Hollywood Bow":

Now, some fresh Duomètre Chronographe pictures:

1) Over our wood swimming pool chair

2) The movement. I saw, speechless, a Duomètre movement being made at the "Manufacture".

3) On my wrist

4) B&W

Paraphrasing the Apocalypse Now line, "It feels ... like victory".

Have a great Sunday and thanks for seeing,

Nilo

Key Points from the Discussion

The Duomètre series, particularly the Quantième Lunaire with its enamel dial, represents a pinnacle for many collectors, even for those who already own a Duomètre Chronographe.
The Duomètre Chronographe is lauded as one of the finest high-end modern chronographs, with its 42mm size becoming more acceptable to collectors previously preferring smaller watches.
The Duomètre Chronographe features a unique mechanism where both the foudroyante (flying seconds) and the normal second hand can be stopped and reset to zero independently.
The Duomètre's movement finishing is exceptionally high, with collectors noting its spotless quality even under digital loupe inspection at the Manufacture.
The Duomètre's 'engine' is considered amazing, with the possibility of future acquisitions in the series still on the horizon for some collectors.

A moon phase is way too simple for ...

The amazing Duomètre "engine", IMHO. If the "lady luck" smiles, I may have one or to before "The End". Stay tuned. Cheers, Nilo

Agreed

Logically I think a chrono, perpetual or repeater would benefit the most from the duometre innovation.

Duometre Repeater?

It already exists, in a paroxysmal version:
