interesting thread....
... i was thinking about the tourbillon because as you've rightly mentioned, there is something missing in the catalogue of JLC in tourbillons. BUT most importantly, the main weakness was in the design of the tourbillon, the cage, etc... IMO with the duometre, the tourbillon will fit naturally in the dial. Of course, comparison with the FP journe will be inevitable, but it will be interesting to see how JLC can pull this one out. If they add a GMT feature or something else to spoil it ( they did add a perpetual foudroyante in a mellow moon complication ), in that case, its hopeless... back to gyro II 
And you, Nicolas, back to your lamp, with or without oil ... Lol...

Sunday Stupid Silly Post: MMR Obsession.
While visiting my Hard Disk, I noticed some pics which reveal a true MMR Obsession... I see Master Minute Repeater everywhere! On a Diesel Engine: On the frontgrill of a german car: On an italian roof: But also ... As an advertising on some buildings. How...
Gorgeous, too bad...
... we cannot hear it Such an eye candy anyway Do you have something in your HD on the Rg version? Have a good sunday too
Thank you genie!...
... Rg to go for me! I can only imagine this watch under the sun, in natural light, it should be a killing!
I confirm.. :)
I was lucky enough to see it on a friend's wrist some months ago... And yes, under a natural light, it is amazing! The RG is a kind of compromise between Tradition ( RG ) and Innovation ( this stunning ruthenium open dial ). Awesome. Best, Nicolas, you kn...
Very well said...
... i saw it once, and the way the dial played with the natural light, was simply unforgetable. Rarely a watch impressed me as much. The Rg enhanced that feeling give it a bright warm feeling. In a perfect world, i can imagine it with the duometre case Yo...
We can always try! :)))
More seriously, the thick case made me go on the titnaium version, which is more " conceptual " in my opinion, than the platinum or the rg. Can't agree more with you on the Suometre case, by the way...One of the nicest, if not THE nicest JLC case. Even if...
ok, let's ask something more plausible....
... even if i dont see how you are lazy with 34'000 posts Clearly they are holding a winner here, so what about a duometre tourbillon for Xmas? Doesn't it make sense, with power reserve dedicated for the tourbillon. My nose is telling me that we'll see it...
To fill a gap, between the Master Tourbillon and the Gyro I or II?
Or the MGT GC which has a flying Tourbillon? Why not... I fear we won't see any new Duometre before 2012, 2013... At the exception of a white metal declination of the Duometre à Q.L. Now, that would make a very interesting dedicated thread, to know which ...

They may also put it at 6, at the " foudroyante " place...
As for the perpetual foudroyante on the Duometre à Q.L, I tend to disagree with you, even if I perfectly see what you mean. Why? Because the main goal of the Duometre à Q.L is Chronometry, and I see the moonphase much more like a pretext, here. Wait a bit...
Can't wait to read it...
... actually, i am about to trigger on that piece. Amazing watch, the moon looks really fantastic, and i love how it all works, the aperture, etc... The report made last year about it is quite good at explaining it, because it really needs explaining actu...
Well, you're describing an already existing Duometre...
Which is the Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie... With its hammers on the left side of the dial... Best, Nicolas.
i was joking, thinking what could make a tourbillon....
.... look ridiculous! Here you go! Fantastic watch actually the whole safe with 3 watch is... Agggghhhh... Nice to dream on sunday nights! We'll have all the time to get back to reality on monday morning )
Great Photos of my all time fav JLC.
Thanks for sharing. I see you are also an Audi enthusiast! I have been a fan of Audi's understated elegance and ingenuity for some years now. Best,
Thanks ...
Yep, my current Audi is one of these very rare cars I didn't change after 2 years... I need to make some repairs on mine ( A 5 ), but what a car! As for the watch, I would only say that it is a keeper in my book. Best, Nicolas.
The MMR is to die for..
Thanks for the post which brightened my otherwise dull Sunday. Cheers Ed
While you at it can we see the MC 8 days QP Skeleton in Platinum!
My recent thread has me thinking of what would be a watch that best represent in Platinum and I remember your post about the incredible detail work of the Master Control 8 days skeleton in Platinum. Please Please Please BTW do you have any color metal at ...
Mama mia! You own both the RG and Plat version?!
I would add this watch to my list of Noble watch that should only exist in Platinum. Best Tyler
Gorgeous shots
That is one fascinating watch! Had the pleasure to see and hear it on the wrist of one of our Purist friends last year. One of the two skeletonized watches I know of that I really like for not being heavily engraved. I especially love the frontgrill shot ...
You could have much worse obsessions
or addictions for that matter. How could you not be obsessed with this MMR????? It's like a beautiful neck to a vampire. Love the creative photos, Vlad. Best, respo
Truly an amazing piece...
one for my dreams only :-( Both are just stunning, but I definately prefer the white metal version. Great post ! Thanks Nicolas. Drew
you're infecting others!
damn gorgeous--one of the most attractive minute repeaters that I have ever seen..... J
You can slap me stupid silly anytime Nicolas...
I love the MMR ever since your review... I had the opportunity to play with the RG at BHB and wow... great shots of a great piece... art and tech on a wrist......

Well, HS...
Yes, I drive an A 5 Coupe since Nov 2007, for my greatest pleasure. You too? As for the MMR, this is the ind of watch which brings you a strong, intense, unforgettable pleasure and excitement. I already wrote it, but I can't forget that the first nights j...
Yes, something shared..
- indeed, same Audi A5/ dark metallic blue, for me ( since 2008) - pleasure to drive still. Thanks for the pleasant & kind note and the MMR pics- design & quality great ! - definitely not anything near to this magnificent time- piece of yours in my realm,...
you are not stupid at all, Nico, but who is the stupid one...
...that is the one who is reading your post - we are stupid simply because i don't think i can't sleep well after seeing such stunning pics of MMR (especially the gorgeous advertising pic)... LOL! stefan
