A very interesting and comprehensive post regarding a model that, to this date, has been a favorite of mine.
I continue to be enamored by the Duometre line. Ever since my first encounter with the Duometre à Chronographe I have felt that it is exactly what it is advertised to be. I am honored to still possess five. In the contained listing of the models produced in the Duometre line, left out were the original limited editions of the Chronographe and the QL in yellow gold cases with antique while dials. Also left out was the UTT original release, the white gold with enamel dial (the Paris boutique edition).
As advertised the time keeping is superb as the concept of the dual-wing is very effective as explained in this posting.
I have been one of those voices that has been pleading with anyone in the organization, including Catherine, to expand the Duometre line and not just with different dial colors. I even suggested a new model and asked for the honor of spending an hour or two with a watchmaker/engineer to see if my idea could work (sadly that didn't happen). I am not sure if my conceptual drawing still exists but I think that it was a good idea that lived up to the concept of separating time function power from the power supply for the complication.
With the release of new Duometres within the next few days, I am sure that will be temptation. I am faced with the predicament of clamoring for a new model for years and now having to step up to the plate to put my money where my mouth has been. 
Cheers

Duomètre : PART I - Past and present
Hello everyone. The " Precision Maker " of the " Watchmaker of Watchmakers " I coming soon... But what should we expect from the Maison that dreams of being Grande... at least a Duomètre... probably... There are still few days to wait... after years of wa...
Thanks for the great post!
I have never really considered buying a Duometre, but I should! They are fascinating and the finish of the movement looks great. I look forward to the JLC announcement on Tuesday. All the best, Jon
That is an interesting write up.
I thought I was reading another person writing about JLC. But I guess you would most probably see his reply soon. I am however surprise Doumetre was not price in the 80-100k range as I always thought they were when it was launched in that era where many w...
I agree that the Duomètre is a model with a definite singularity.
Your wishes will probably soon be granted - not in terms of split-seconds and tourbillon models - but in terms of price... It's the now famous Golden Ratio.

Thanks
Several of us have begged JLC to maintain / extend the Duometre line. A few of us suggested this or that improvement. But for years the manufacture - and it's not the only one - hasn't really paid attention to enthusiasts... clearly preferring to give int...
I do agree that the use of ambassadors and the over attention to social media personalities blinds me with angst, I don't believe that the choices made by JLC is not dictated by them (well, I hope not).
I do believe that the emphasis on Reversos (a line that I also have sampled more than just a few) over the last few years was dictated by its popularity and clearly a marketing decision. A nod was given to the other lines but the Reverso was the targeted ...
Fantastic post ...
...about one of the most fascinating watches from the last 20 years. Seeing all these various references I still believe that the very first models (with the solid dial) were the best. My dream Duometre was certainly the Tourbillon that I once saw in the ...
Thanks
The first QL was not a solid dial… Which tourbillon ? With or without moon ? The chrono is THE DUOMETRE for me considère the concept. A very good choice ! Best Ø
