Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire Comparison

amanico presents a comparative visual study of three Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire models, showcasing their distinct characteristics and design evolution. He invites readers to share their preferences among the White Gold Black Dial, White Gold Enamel, and Rose Gold Magnetite Grey dial versions, offering his own insights into what makes each unique.

The White Gold Black Dial was released in a limited edition of 200 pieces, in 2011. The case is 42 mm big.

The White gold Enamel dial is a limited edition to 200 pieces, too. It was unveiled in 2014. It case is 40, 5 mm big.

The last one was revealed in 2017, the Rose Gold Magnetite Grey. Not a limited edition, rather a limited production, with only 60 pieces.

Here, the three side by side, showing their differences and similarities...

The White Gold black dial version was a kind of love at first sight, for me. Till the white enameled dial version came. Since then I know this is the one I want.

The smaller case is very à propos for that dial. It enhances its natural elegance.

The Magnetite Grey is my less favorite, because of its partially open dial. A pity, because the combination of the case and grey dial is awesome.

What about you?

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The white enamel dial version of the JLC Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire, particularly the 40.5mm case, is highly favored for its elegance and contrast, with some collectors preferring it over the black dial and open-worked versions.
The open-worked dial of the Magnetite Grey version is less popular among some enthusiasts, with one describing it as giving the Duomètre an 'evil face' look, potentially impacting its appeal.
The white gold enamel dial version was introduced in 2014 and is a limited edition of 200 pieces, confirming its rarity and desirability.
The smaller 40.5mm case size of the white enamel dial model is noted to enhance its natural elegance, making it a particularly well-proportioned option.

Yes, I " need " a white enamel dial in my collection, and the choice of a Duometre will feed my appetite for that family of watches... Thanks! [nt]

Email is not a Limited Edition?

I don't see it listed on the JLC website.

PS: Apparently you are right. I made a search on the JLC Website and nothing. Will ask if it is not confidentially in production... [nt]

Thank you!

I can also try and ask in Paris tomorrow while passing by the boutique. It's incredible piece and enamel dial would be cherry on the cake (I prefer white metal, and closed dial one is available only in rose gold AFAIK).
