amanicoWarning: Hidden Masterpiece. Innovative, daring, original, this watch issued in 2007 was and still is a Revolution, an unrivaled one, at the exception of the Ulysse Nardin Innovision, maybe, but the Innovision was a prototype, while the Jaeger Lecoultre was in production ( a few pieces per year ).

amanicoThere are watches we love for their cool factor, others for their beauty, or their refinement and class. There are few watches which gather all these qualities. This is indisputably the case of the Duometre, which, moreover, adds a touch of originality due to its dual wing concept. You all know my story or journey with the Duomètre...Story

amanicoI guess I am far from being the only one to love and have a huge admiration for the Porsche 911, which will celebrate the 60th anniversary of its unveiling, next year. 60 years, already!!! I never owned a Porsche, I considered the idea many times, and I am not giving up the idea. For the moment, it is something between a project and a dream. Hence the idea behind this post...Story
