Dial of the Duometre
Hi everybody,
Does anyone know how the dial of the Duometre is made? Is this the same technique which is used on the black dial side of the Grande Reverso Duodate and the Reverso Grande GMT (any pictures of those birds)? Anyone knows how they call this technique and if it is used on other watches (JLC and other brands). I find it great looking; somewhat like the structure of paper. Lookes like they used some kind of oxidating technique?
Looking forward to further information.
Cheers,
Starman

It seems that we share some common demons... If only it could come in white metal.... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Even though I appreciate your love for white metal
I must say that for such a 1920s looking watch, rose gold and grained dial is hard to beat. It could be your first RG...cmon... Ready for Vegas? I m coming to Paris soon. Mo
