Great Report Nicolas
wonderful Model and I enjoy the design of the machine What do you think these photos in HONG KONG? :) Thank you very much WTA ...
Well, I think it is perfect for your wrist. ;)
Who is this silly guy, in the background, taking a wrist shot? :) :) :) More seriously, the Suometre à QL Enamel will be my Asian Trip Part III. What's not to be madly in love, here? Best, my friend. Nicolas

Thank you for the live pictures!
I have been looking forward to seeing them for quite some time! This is one of my favorite releases not just of the last year but of the last 5! Absolutely stunning and shows the masterful craftsmanship of JLC!
Don't you think it deserved a special treatment?
Now, it is time to fully discover it. And I am sure we'll have several other opportunities to discuss it. I agree with you, it is one of the hits of this year. A feast. Best, and thanks for your input! Nicolas
Almost ready to order it...
....it's just too nice to let go.... PS the 40.5 mm is perfect in combination with that grand feu enamel dial if you ask me.
What I think, indeed. Such a dial deserves, in my opinion, a smaller case.
40, 5 mm is perfect. Best, and please, keep us updated! Nicolas.
Sadly the acquiring of this watch
has failed due to an impulsive buy involving a Cartier (will post later when the Cartier rolls in). So no more budget for the JLC for now :-(
Why " Sadly "? If you didn't go for it, that is certainly because you preferred
The Cartier. So, no need to be sad, but to be glad! ;) Best, Nicolas.
impulse purchase
So no I do not preffer it over the JLC, but the Cartier has got some very special functions which are uncommon for a clock. In about 4-5 weeks I can show you more
+1 on what my current choice has been: WG/black.. But if I look..
..at these terrific pics, that one scores in more than 1 point: - the email grand feu - the diameter of 40,5, which I would prefer.. if I ever were to decide.. LOL ! - the subtle colored tid-bits ( with red 5m indices & else) - I like this version of the ...
This enamel version will provide some nightmares to the black dial owners.
I think JLC is close to perfection, with this one... I still regret the wording ' enamel grand feu " on the dial. It was not necessary, in my opinion. Other than that... A dream piece. Thanks for your feedback, my friend. Nicolas
Question
Does th date pusher advance the date and moon together, once you have set the moon independently? Thanks Joe
Very tempting.
The 40.5 case makes all the difference for me and who can resist the enamel dial! Luckily I managed to get a wrist shot of yours .... a constant reminder.:) Best fernando ...
I think we will be many to not be able to resist... ;)
It works very well on your wrist, too! All the best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Beautiful, but...for me 41.5mm would have been better
An awesome piece. I do have a slight issue with the case size since IMO the original Duometre dimensions are simply perfect. In this piece, I would have preferred the 41.5 mm size. IMO the bezel of the 40.5 mm case seems slightly too thin relative to the ...
Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with the original 42 mm case.
But this is only because of the enamel dial that I think this is the right size. Generally, 42 mm for me, please! ;) Thanks for your input, John, much appreciated. Best, Nicolas
Fantastic report as usual...
...of this stunning timepiece, thanks Nicolas. i still prefer the Quantième Lunaire in WG with black dial, the most beautiful Duometre so far, in my opinion. cheers, chris
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the white gold
with black dial. I think the placement of the subdials on the enamel 40,5 is a bit crowded. They either need more room to breathe, or there should be some overlap between the 1/6 second and the other two. Also, in the JLC photos the black indices and nume...
Subdials
seems to me that the subdials have the exact same lay out as with the 42 mm dials...(space-distance wise) anyone?
It wasn't actually that the subdials are closer, now that
I see it on something bigger than my phone screen. It's that we can see the outline of the subdials on the enamel, and there's no outline on the non-enamel 40,5, or on the white gold and black. This increases the breathing room for me between the top two ...
Yes, now I see what you mean, with the white gold outline of the subdials.
And their absence on the black dial. This is the second thing I noticed on the enamel dial, the first thing being the... Enamel! :) Thanks for the precision, my friend. Nicolas
A 40.5mm case is nice for a change.
But for me personally, I would also have preferred a 42mm case once again. Thanks for sharing your report and pics Nicolas!
Honestly, I much prefer the 42 mm case for the Duometre, in general.
But I find this Enamel to be a delicious exception. No doubt, here, the white gold black dial is a very cool version. For sure. Best, and thanks for your feedback! Nicolas
My impression on this watch...
Well I have pros and cons.... I had the chance to see it again...
My Impressions...second try
Well I have pros and cons.... I had the chance to see it again... It is a wonderful watch, really,the dial makes the watch in this case. It could be one of "the"perfect watches,where the technical features of the cal 381 (with all its marvellous merits)ma...
Agreed on the wording. " Enamel Grand Feu " was really not necessary.
It is clear that it is an enamel dial. Like you this is the only Duometre I accept in this smaller case. The lunar disc and phase is a plus, I agree on that point too. Well, I thikn that for an owner of the black dial ,the dilemma exists. For those who do...
I need enamel too :)
Its a dilemma now... as this watch would require some fundings ,not just an exchange...well I need a lot of motivations... Next few months there is a lot of thinking to do.....that writing is putting me off though...enamel is class,elegance,understatement...
I do hope that they will remove the wording, too. This is my biggest issue with this watch
But, I fear, not enough to not SERIOUSLY consider it... Best, Nicolas
wow, that's really beautiful
40.5 is actually closer to my usual tastes and the enamal dial looks just wonderful. Could've done with less writing on the dial but that is not a deal breaker. Very tempting! Best Andreas
If you love the Langematik Anniversary, then you will adore this one. ;)
As for the tempting side of this Watch, I must confess that I Vladed myself. Best, Nicolas ...
Do you have any fetish with no.5?
in your last picture the watch is showing 5h05 pm, 5 seconds and 5/6th of second, on the 5th day of the month.
