Like Craig, I had to make some serious restructuration of my collection, Respo.
Before grabbing it.
It took me 14 months before being able to put the trigger on this one.
I took some pics of the Titanium MMR since I saw it, amalyzed it, quite every day, and at the end, I was convinced, totally convinced that it was a piece for me.
The only doubt I had was to know if I would go on the platinum, or on the titanium.
I know there are some strong fans of the platinum, but I find the titanium a bit crazier, and the platinum a bit wiser.
When a watch is so strong, so mad, it really needs some mad pics.
Bernard understands it perfectly ( please check Bernard's posts about the Freak, it is awesome! )
Yes, there are very big connections between cars and watches, and both of them work very well together, IMO.
Thanks for your input and for your nice words, my friend.
Best,
Nicolas
2 Years with the JLC MMR
Time flies! I spent almost 2 years with the intrigant JLC titanium MMR. 2 years of intense pleasure and use, as everywhere I went in the world, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, England, Marocco, it was with me, on my wrist. Here in Taormina: In Trieste, on...
O yeah ..... what's not to love ....
to see such an extraordinary piece in all this life situations makes me only to tip my hat for you you are true watch connoisseur our dear JLC Moderator ... Now with another Torquemada (Craig LA) around sleeping days are over :0) Congratulations and my pe...
Not only two Torquemada, but at least 5, Damian
As POY.FR , Jester and Mo own one, too. And if you read them, they seem to be crazy about their MMR. Your hope is shared, my friend. We'll try ot make it real this summer. Best, Nicolas
MMR...
My favourite "skeleton" watch bar none. A truly fantastic watch - thanks for sharing again Nicolas, you are indeed a lucky man to own such a piece. As for your wife's pleasure in the middle of the night, ahem, too much information my firend!!! LOL Cheers ...
I thought about it, and I have to say that with the Freak,
The Titanium MMR is my favourite open dial. An introduction to skeeton watches, indeed. I may even say that since I won this one, I paid some interest to skeleton watches, indeed. 2 different styles, as I see the open dial much more like a Concept, while ...
Ur story tells us everything EXCEPT...
... what happened to the guy with the sea dweller that tried it on and scratch it .... lol.... Did u put him in the engine and strapped the watch to the nose of ur car ?? Gr8 gr8 watch nicolas, and the way u wear it and live with it, is THE right way of d...
Absolutely, Karim
There is a big difference between being careless about our watches, to wear them in any circumstances, or to let them encaged in a safe. A watch is an object of pleasure and desire. They are made to live with. I can tell you that I missed it a lot during ...
Doubtlessly a true connoisseur...
Prodigious pictures of this fine instrument. You have, as yet, not failed to impress me with the pieces in your collection. Perhaps a group photo of your JLC family in the future?
I wil have to work on an idea, before posting a Group Pic
It would be interesting only if I find something interesting to do, witrh this pic... I had this idea in mind, but till I don't find the pretext...I will wait a bit. Thanks for your nice words, even if I tink that I much more deserve the Title of " Amateu...
The watch poet strikes again!
I just love to read your (always) inspired posts, Nicolas And what to say about that tiles “Made in Treviso ”? A great match! Best regards from the (too ) hot center of Brazil! Marcelo This message has been edited by marcelo on 2009-04-01 05:03:35
It's easy to find the inspiration from a nice piece, Marcelo
Much more difficult when the piece is ugly, don't you think? The decorum is also important when you take a pic, and I see that you pay attention to every detail! Thanks for your nice words, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Still and always beautiful
Ah Nicolas, this MMR still drives me crazy. It remains THE unattainable ONE for me. Great photos of your wrist and the MMR in their travels. I always love your fascination with strapping watches to the grill of your A5. You and Bernard seem to have this c...

Joy, Passion, but also Confidence, Stefan
You need a lot of confidence in your watch and in the brand to use such a complication almost like a daily beater. That's the strong point with this watch, my friend. No fear, no nightmares, onyl pleasure! Best, Nicolas
Stunning...
an amazing piece which you gave me great pleasure in playing with and listening too last year..:o) Here's to the next GTG. Andy.
Great write-up Nicolas!!!
I heard the Ti MMR in action last December at the Purist Christmas Party. It is, without exception, the loudest MR I have ever heard. Truly an exceptional piece. Your active enjoyment of this stellar watch is an example for all of us to follow. As I state...
I'm so happy for you that you got one, Craig
As I said, we are at least 5 here to share this same intense pleasure with this gorgeous watch. This is a crazy watch, indeed. One of my very favourite... I wish you the same timeless happyness, my friend. Best and thanks for your nice words, Craig. Nicol...
overwhelming
thanks you for sharing Nicolas. Your collection gives me a lot to save for, and dream about! I agree, why not a photo of all your JLC's together...? Just incredible as always- Cheers- Ian
Thanks, Ian
For your nice words. As for the Grpoup Shot, will have to think about it. Just have to find a good idea to do it. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Your MMR is a true passepartout!
Your pictures are stunning! Being the one in Morrocco my favorite. I can only imagine how upset you were after it received a ding on the bezel, but I am very happy to hear that you got it back from servicing and that the ding is now well in the past. By t...
That's another interesting and good point, Alex
You can wear it with Jeans, or with a Suit, there is no problem, the MMR has its place everywhere. A truely polyvalent watch. I cvan tell you that the 3 first nights, I didn't sleep a lot. I was completely submerged by its magic. And till now, still under...
Such an awesome well kept time keeper Nicolas!
This is probably one of my top fav JLCs. Thanks much for sharing. Wear it in a great health and B well my friend, Matrix.
One of the most spectacular, for sure
Even if, these days, the Gyro I is haunting my nights. Deliciously... Thanks for your nice words, Matrix. Best, Nicolas
Was a big fun to take all these pics all around the world, AT
And even in the most improbable places. That's why I love it so much. Although complicated, not a watch to keep in the safe! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Beautiful pictures as always...
...and nice memories filled with warmth. Thanks for sharing with us. Vitaly
One of the best post lately hermano...
I´ve enjoyed a lot this true love story... I was reading the post and I was feeling the love and the passion that you feel daily with this marvel. You really know that I admire this watch. You must go with this beast in our near GTG.... some pics deserves...
It is waiting for you, Emilio
As a few other surprises.. And, like you said, you'd better not wear nay other watches... See you soon. Best, Nicolas
Both you and that watch...
...are living life the way it was meant to be lived. Thank you for the dream. N
Well, don't know, Neil, But
Thanks for the nice thoughts. I think that if you have the chance to own this watch, it is worth wearing it. An immense happyness. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Indeed, Nicolas!
What's not to love? The watch is so beautiful it nearly brings me to tears. I love its strength of design, and the way light plays in the depths of its dial; I love the sunburst effect on the movement's finish, and the colors of the blue screw heads and p...
You perfectly described this complex watch, Daos.
This is a watch you nedd to spend many time to fully appreciate its complex construction. The dial is just fascinating, and depending on the angle you see it, you discover new details, new colors, new levels. This is really amazing. To not wear it is a sa...
Thanks for sharing...
your watch and adventures. The MMR is such a fantastic design. Very masculine and completely its own. Minute repetition is my personal favorite watch complication and I hope to add one to the collection one day - not sure I have the wrist for a MMR though...
Nikolaj, I can tell you that it is not a problem
Of wrist size... Seriously, I have an average sized wrist, and absolutely no problem at all, for me, to wear it. I spent a lot of time to find MY Minute Repeater, and I began with a Portuguese, which was very nice, but I didn't hear it easily. So, when I ...
Nice piece it is for sure. But ‘imo’ you ought to upgrade to a REAL WATCH
With easy I can understand the intimacy one has with his repeater, but isn't time for you to enjoy a Real Watch? *MDR*...
Nice Loupe, POY, but what about the watch? :)))
Show us this Beauty, my friend, and not only this signature! Best El Tonio.
LOL, POY.
Good memories, on endless and passionate discussions about the Platinum and the Titanium. I loved that! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Best skeleton watch
I agree with the sentiments of others. Your pictures are beautiful, but the best part is you aren't afraid to wear the masterpeice and enjoy life!
the flagship?
hi nicolas, I was out of town and just coming bak to our forum. wow, what's such a stunning piece. congratulations for sharing your passion and this awesome post! but, I didn't know that JLC would have a joinventure with AUDI? Is there a scoop? LOL. olivi...
The Lord Of The Rings is the JoinVenture, my friend.
If you consider the Master Grande tradition Tourbillon, my friend, you should think about it... Best, Gollum.
Can't agree more emcquillan.
What is worth a watch you don't wear nor enjoy? Best, Nicolas
2 years already?
Time sure flies by so quickly! Great to see you still love your MMR as much as Day 1. Couldn't have gone to a better home! Cheers, Anthony
Thanks for the nice words, Anthony
Of course I love it like day 1! Now the question is to know if I deserve it... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Same here Nico, like day 1. One needs to own and live with a repeater
to understand how special it is. It is to me, the one and only complication can bond with. And, JLC in all, 'imo' did a perfect job with the MMR. Ok, in my case it is even more than perfect as 'Tonio' looked after me ;-)
And if I remember well, we both got it quite in the same time, POY .
So, it is almost 2 Years for you, too, isn't it? You perfectly said it: The appraciation of any watch can only be done if you live with it, We should take pics of our 2 beauties, side by side, my friend. On the front Gril of my car? Best, Nicolas
Yup! But you seem to have forgotten
where those combo shots with the Audi came from ;-(
Another original angle to admire the MMR
Quite bestial, don't you think? Best, Nicolas...
