Funny, Tim. I brought mine with me in July when I visited the Manufacture. And Stephane Belmont wore it for a whole day.
Sadly, I accidentally deleted all the pictures I took there, but I will post some more I recently took.
All the best, and thanks, Mr #83.

Habemus Duometrum! A hands on review on the Jaeger Lecoultre Duometre à Chronographe, White gold.
Forgive me for this " Habemus Papam " horological version, but I couldn't resist to do it... Yes, I have many reasons to be happy, very happy to FINALLY own a Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronograph. When this Chronograph was unveiled in 2007, it was love...
Huge congratulations on getting this wonderful Duometre.
I know you have been pining after it for some time, so I'm sure it has arrived to you with much satisfaction, which comes through in your writing. A terrific piece, and easily one of JLC's finest [attainable] efforts. Cheers, John
Big big congratulations. We all know how much you wanted this
and the white gold Chronograph is a great choice (for s start). So true...we are mad and the moment we achieve one dream, we long for the next one
Nicolas, Happy for you that you find another one which pleased you so much.
Happy end and enjoy this Beloved "Duometre à Chronographe" for the Best. Effectively, it is rare to want twice a same calibre. A Great JLC calibre indeed. Cheers, Patrickh
Huge congratulations !!
You have written much about your love for this and am very glad you found one in such great condition Best regards - - seeks
Big Congrats on getting this one you have been waiting for!
Thinking to re-acquire Dato?
Wonderful story, Nico!
Huge congratulations, wear the watch in the best of your health! I think you have right: the concept of the Duometre is made for the chronographs! Therefore I am agree with your choice! Why didn’t you order the same watch: in platinum case with white grai...
Congrats
still remember the first time I saw the watch. Very strong statement. Well done! Dirk
Beautiful watch and well worth the wait. Congratulations.
Typical of you to be thinking of the next one before this one is warm on your wrist. Regards Kev.
Very happy to see that Duometre found it's way home
It's been long wait but hence more sweeter Big big congrats my friend Duometer is and was must for your collection and you made great decision Bravo and cheers D
Congratulations, my friend.
It's good to see you have now unveiled this very special watch.
Great news !!!
you have been talking about this moment so many times ..... and finally you've got it So happy for you mon ami Fifi ;-)
Amazing Nicolas, very happy for you!!
You are fully forgiven for the habemus papam, great joke that made me laugh Wear it in good health, thanks for the review and for sharing the news with us! Best, É.
I am very happy for you Nico !
very very happy Congrats !!! You deserve this one. You were focused and you got your prize ! Bravo and God bless that friend of yours . Cheers Robin
We waited for it, this review
And congratulations, it's great. And this duometre is a killer.
Les bonnes nouvelles!
Fantastic Nico! I am amazed you kept it under wraps for so long. It is a true beauty with that black dial. The complexity of the different chronograph counters is something not matched by many other maisons. I like it very much; if only it were slightly s...
Congratulations, Nicolas...
Clearly, the duometre chronograph means a lot to you, and that speaks volumes given the wonderful collection of watches in your possession. Enjoy it and don't think about "what comes next". Just give yourself plenty of time with this reunion. Marc
Good watches come to those who wait!
Is the NATO a test? Somehow it works for me. Once again, wear it in good health! Best, É.
Congratulations my friend, wear it in good health and happily.....
Great watch and fantastic concept, in my opinion typical "oser faire" spirit which is a JLC hallmark. Cheers Francois
Great Duometre
Hi Great watch - black dial is wonderful. Can understand that that while you wanted one you didn't want the same. Also get the need to add another - there is always the next watch, no matter how wonderful or how long we've searched our latest one. Enjoy y...
Congrats on returning to Duo A Chrono ownership
My jaw still drops everytime I see one! I was very fortunate to be able to see a frosted silver dialled version in HK a long time ago, and it oozed class and cool. And now your new WG version is beautiful. The RG hands are perfect against the black dial (...
White metal case chrono with rg hands?
Like this one? Well, I prefer to go for another Duometre, probably the UTT. I will certainlt end with the QL Enamel. Best, Imran, and thanks for your kind words. Nicolas ...
Ah I should have been more specific
White gold, BLACK DIAL, and rose gold hands Beautiful Longines chrono btw
Actually, the homepage has shown me another watch, although not WG
jml_watches posted his Urushi Seiko, and even though it is SS, the combination reinforces how much I like this combo! Thanks for making me think more, due to your post
Any time I hear / see / read "Duometre", the first flash in my mind is "Nicolas"
That is a true statement. You are and have always been the Duometre authority since it was initially launched. Of course I knew the regrettable story of the first one. I knew the hunt was ongoing for a replacement. I did not know about the uniqueness of t...
I wouldn't wish...
what happened to you even on my worst enemy, just a sad story and I feel your loss and pain especially for such a unique and beautiful watch. But I must congratulate you on your positive attitude and moving on with your new addition, it is also very beaut...
Very nice reading and congratulations :)
We've been following your journey towards a future Duometre in your collection and this is very nice reading your summary, what fueled your appeal etc... I totally share your interest for this watch, aesthetically and technically. Especially since the Chr...
Aahh.. here are the story, the emotions, the pain of a loss but then a new page of another version of this breathtaking icon.. YOURS !!
.. My friend, this time the crocodile really had guarded the prey for a pretty long time.. How nice to share this heart- warming story with us ! Dear Nico, my sincerest huge congratulations to you of being able to fulfill this journey ! I am very happy fo...
Yes, it is an all new chapter, indeed. Now the thing is that I have two ways to go... The way of fine chronos, and I will have to dig a bit more.
And the Duometre way... Thanks for your very kind words, as always. Nicolas
Finally!
That's really great news to see this white smoke rising. It has been a long quest and story of passion. My best congratulations that is come to a good end! Now for the UTT! I know you want that one as much as the Chronometre. Enjoy it a lot! Martin
White smoke 💨Finally!
We have been waiting for this moment for years... very happy for you that you finally have got the missing link (so to speak) back on your wrist!! Congratulations 🍾
Congratulations, Sorry For My Delay!
Nicolas, I cannot help but send enormous congratulations. It's an inspiration to see a dream realized - especially such a long-lived dream as this! Your world is back in balance ;-) My white gold DaC, #083, sends its regards to your #095! I was inspired t...

Very very happy for you, Nico!
Your new Duometre is a beauty! Powerful and cool as you very well describe. Un fuerte abrazo, Alex
massive awesome congratulations
If I may share my feeling, all duometre are unique and deserves to be part of a collection. Each duometre version has unique feature that suits it best. The Spherotourbillon and the Grande Sonnerie are to die for even to die for several times. However, I ...
Congratulations
Bravo...It pleases me see a Duometre back in your collection after all this time. When will we see a photograph of it on your wrist?
