Amanico revisits the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre à Quantieme Lunaire, highlighting its 2015 SIHH updates. His post details two key aesthetic changes: the adoption of a rounded bezel, now consistent with other recent Duometre models, and a new lacquered moonphase disc, replacing the previous printed version. Amanico invites community feedback on these modifications, noting his personal preference for the lacquered disc and a plain dial over the partially open design.

Here it is, in its new version.

Two détails which change, on the new version.

It adopts the round bezel seen on the most recent Duometres, the small cases in rose gold or white gold plain dials.

And the second difference will immediately jump to the eyes of the Quantième Lunaire lovers: The moonphase disc, which is laquered, now, not printed.

The first générations ( 2010 / 2011 ).

The latest, in the traditional 42 mm case.

You will remember that this moonphase disc has already been used... In the Duometre à Quantième Lunaire Enamel 40, 5.

The QL Enamel:

I am curious to hear your feelings on that modifications.

I am not very fan of the partially open dials on the right and left side of the dial, and would have much preferred a plain dial.

I am quite happy with the round bezel, but I also loved the flat one, so, not a big deal.

I prefer the laquered moonphase disc. I find it more qualitative.

It is up to you to discuss the Watch, now.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The introduction of a new 42mm Duometre à Quantieme Lunaire with a rounded bezel and lacquered moonphase disc is discussed, with the lacquered disc being a significant improvement over the previous printed version.
The frequent small running changes and variations across Duometre models, including different dial textures, bezels, and apertures, create confusion among collectors regarding JLC's product strategy.
It is suggested that all changes to the Duometre line should be aggregated into a master reference post due to the prolific and fast-changing nature of the models.
The Duometre is praised as a mechanical marvel and one of the most daring and beautiful watches available to non-billionaires, despite the confusion caused by variations.
The author agrees that JLC's inconsistent approach to style and diameter changes across Duometre models sends a confusing message, preferring more significant changes like the QL enamel.

I am confused........

So are we announcing a 42mm Duo a QL or a new 40.5? Because in home page there are two posts;this one and one on the Ql 40.5 with a link that leads to this one. So a new 42mm QL with rounded bezel?( like the first 40.5,then the enamel but even the new Chronograph has it, if I am not mistaken..) -I like the new bezel,even if I don t dislike the straight one especially in my black version... -The new disc? a wonderful ++++++ the one I have is the weak point f my watch..I tried to ask for a swap bu

According to my informations, it is a 42 mm case.

I agree with you that waving in the style and in the diameter is not a clear message from JLC. I would rather prefer seeing them sticking to their model, or bringing some significative changes such as the QL enamel. I was sure you would say that, my friend. Best, Nicolas

If you make a list of the versions of the same models....

Duo a Chronograph rose gold 42mm: -Original version,then a different dial and texture,then a round bezel one,then one with apertures... Duo A QL rose gold 42mm: -Original version,then 40.5(ok this I accept even if i don t like it much in Rg,it makes sense with enamel dial),then change of dial and texture,then this version with round bezel ,then different moon disc .. So I am not talking of different metals or versions ,but little tweaks of the same watch...mmm By the way are the new 40.5 version

I don't know what JLC have under their sleeve... Maybe it is time for them to unveil a new Duometre?

I mean a real new one? Best, Nicolas.
