Execellent MMR quick view,Sir Moderator!
Sir Nicolas,
Pt.version of the MMR is already a cut above,yet this Ti version launch this year shakenthe world of horology.As experince complication are usually in PTor gold,but JLC introduce it in Ti.
Ti's appearance MMR's appearance like you describe Grade5 with polish,something everyone has not seen in real life.and again the "Dullness" has been eliminated from the Ti's impression.
What a breakthrough....JLC.that's why i mentioned earlier Due credit goes to JLC in view of their innoation and the daring behind the implementation of innovation.
Your article were narrated very execellent,just like one of the commentator put it--you sell it well,congrats!Mr.Moderator.
Thanks for the efforts!Nicolas>>>

MMR TITANIUM, THE IN-DEPTH REVIEW >>>
In 2003, I began to pay some interest to the Minute Repeater Complication. There were some watches in the market, as, for example, the classic and gorgeous IWC Portuguese, still "affordable", I mean, when you compare it to others, like the Patek or Vacher...
Here, The Press File of the MMR >>>
You should read it entirely, it will allow you to learn a lot of interesting things in the conception and the realisation of this Masterpiece:...
great post
Thank you amanico. I absolutely agree on your assessment of this piece. I had the pleasure of wearing the platinum version in Paris last year - WOW. I have yet to see the other version. In some ways I prefer it for its more modern design. The colour of th...
"old" post but so GREAT !!!
WOW !!! I know that's an "old" post but forgive me I'm new here. When I've discovered this article, I've read it avidly, from the begining to the end, then I've read the press release (very interresting as well). Then I went on the web to look for record ...
Indeed, Pascal,
A true love story between her and me, for a bit more than 2 years, now. Even if I know this watch very well, even if I spent a lot of time analyzing it, admiring it, I'm still totally fascinated by it. That may be a good sign! Best, Nicolas

Excellent....
Hi Nicolas, Thank you Mr Moderator for sharing with us so well your love for your Master Minute Repeater! The watch is gorgeous and you sell it well! It's a dream for many of us but nearly made it come true. Keep on track my friend it's a great work. Than...
Its a great watch! As much as I didn't like the roriginal platinum model I really
think the designers at JLC did an excellent job with the titanium version, the way the opened up the dial is gorgeous. Porte la en bonne santé as they say
WOW
Incredible pictures of your minute repeater. THat is an exquisitie watch and thank you for taking the time to review and take such incredible macro shots!! Did you sell the IWC or is that your 'beater' repeater? haha
Thanks, Nicolas! Great review.
You are tempting me quite a bit with all these gorgeous pictures. I will have to revisit this beauty again at my AD! I have noticed that the gongs on this watch don't seem like they were made the traditional way. Instead of the traditional round extracted...
Thanks very much, Amanico, great pics and very nice text to read. I do have to point out..
though, my persistent caveat about making sweeping generalizations about repeater models (and brands) ""Compared to other Minute Repeaters, these 2 are acoustically above the Parmigiani, the Breguet, the AP even in Titanium, and the IWC ( Well, I didn't t...
Thomas >>>
My proposal was to compare what is comparable, of course I didn't compare my MMR ti to a Grande Sonnerie or a Carillon watch, you're totally right, that is not the same range of complications nor prices. If I offended anyone here, I'm sorry, Heart is ofte...
Nicolas, when you close your eyes and listen . . .
. . . which version seems more musical to your ears? Curiously, Art
Interesting question, Art, about musicality of the Minute Repeaters >>>
I had many opporunities to play with the Platinum MMR, alone, and simultaneously with the Titanium. In the Boutique, or Shops, that's not very evident to make the comparision, BUT, I had the chance to spend a whole Week End with a friend who owns the Plat...
Tooo much for me to handle thanks Nicolas
It is like being at a candy store. Seeing the watch on you and hearing the concert it produces was a real joy. Thanks for the review and the great picture. Bill
Yowsa! VERY VERY NICE.
I wholehearted agree on the IWC MR. Probably one of the prettiest complications on he market. The JLC is a compltely different watch and I think you can easily get away owning both watches.
WOW!
Thanks for the review and pics. I have to agree, this is a wonderful watch. I had the pleasure to play with the titanium version last month at the Wynn AD and it is truly beautiful and incredible sounding. Such loud chimes! Congrats on a masterpiece.
Amazing, thanks Nicolas!
I appreciate the owner's insight into this rarely seen timepiece. I have to admit the platinum MMR did not impress me much considering the hype surrounding it when it was launched but the titanium is a whole different story. Ironically the titanium MMR di...
Wow what a review.....
incredible piece, pics, review..!! What more can one say..!! I was lucky enough to hold a platinum one recently but couldn't hear it...one day I'd love to hear one in the flesh. Thanks Nicolas, Andy.
Funny I've taken almost the same path!!!
except that I'm still in love w/ my RG 5240: Actually I brought her along to the Launch of the original Paltinum Master Repetition Minutes a few years back. Have to admit during the dinner I compared the 5240 and the JLC and I wasn't impressed. It was bet...
Fantastico, Amanico!
Thanks, Nicolas, for the great review and superb pictures. That titanium is such a beautiful watch. I can understand you taking pictures of it because you won it, but how did you get those pictures of the platinum? And please don't tell me you own both! L...
Nicolas, one day
when I grow up, I'll get a MR too Was really nice to see her in person last week! Asi
Thanks Nicolas,
Very nice review, and curios about the sound of this beautiful watch, your a lucky man Cheers, Michel
I'll let you play with it, Michel, if you come in Paris! >>>
Thanks, Michel. See you soon, maybe! Nicolas
Thanks for the wonderful review Nicolas!
I actually had the opportunity to see this piece in person when I was in Las Vegas couple weeks ago and I was drooling Congrats on your 1st review here, and keep up the great work! Much appreciated! Cheers, Anthony
I too love to listen to the sound of the MMR ...
... and watch the hammers striking! Day by day I sit in front of my computer screen resting my hands and waiting for the MMR screensaver to start. Than I pull the trigger and klick the start button, watch the lever work its way down on the outside of the ...
Funny, Herrk, I also uploaded the same screensaver >>>
And I also play with! BTW, wonderful screensaver! Thaks for your nice comments, much appreciated! Let's see if you will appreciate my next review, I will post quite soon! Best, Christian! Nicolas
Quite soon? Thank cannot be the Duo, can it?
I'd love to see some closeups on the movement finish of a production model. Good choice by the way! Cheers Christian
LOL, I'm afraid not, Herrk >>>
I' ll have to wait a bit for my Duo Metre, as I ordered it a month ago, after thinking the pros and the cons for several months... No, this will be a review, about ... Ok, I can say it, because if all works well, I put it online in a few hours...The Amvox...
Not a fan of the AMVOX line? Well, maybe ... but
that did not discourage me from getting an AMVOX1ti at a time when I was lead to conclude from JLCs press statements that there would be nothing that will come closer to the Polaris than the AMVOX1. You will know my concerns against the AMVOX1 from the ti...
Ooops! Nicolas, I did not know that you were defending Magalie against PROPER!
According to my sources PROPER (for those who did not know: the Office of Pro be, P rosecution and E nforcement of the R ules of proper watch design) charges her of breaching the rules of proper watch design by making use of inconsistent and random design...
You'd better be prudent, Herrk, I srongly prepare Magali's case >>>
And you will have a surprise... I think after you'l agree that Magali doens't derve any punishment, but a lot of congratulations... Yes, Yes... Wait a bit, I prepare the Hammer and you'll see! LOL Best. Nicolas
Nicolas! It has always been the greatest pleasure ...
... to win those cases were any defence has thought to be futile! So I am eagerly awaiting your defence! But lately I have got the impression that you may have been disregarding what Marlowe said: Never fall in love with a client! Best to you Christian
Really terrific. Merci beaucoup!
Is the MMR in titanium better finished than the platinum version (or what we can see of the platinum version, anyway)? For example, the hammers look a bit rough on the platinum version but appear perfectly beveled and nearly black polished on the titanium...
I didn't have this impression, jt bradley >>>
I think it's more due to the dust on the crystal ,rather to a less well finish on the platinum version. But the thing is also that JLC made some evident efforts to realise this open dial on the titanium model. As the finish is different, some can think th...
That was a very interesting read
and the photos are No1....many thanks kindest regards, Jack
