Duomètre : PART I - Past and present
Hello everyone. The " Precision Maker " of the " Watchmaker of Watchmakers " I coming soon... But what should we expect from the Maison that dreams of being Grande... at least a Duomètre... probably... There are still few days to wait... after years of wa...
Thanks for the great post!
I have never really considered buying a Duometre, but I should! They are fascinating and the finish of the movement looks great. I look forward to the JLC announcement on Tuesday. All the best, Jon

Fantastic post ...
...about one of the most fascinating watches from the last 20 years. Seeing all these various references I still believe that the very first models (with the solid dial) were the best. My dream Duometre was certainly the Tourbillon that I once saw in the ...
Thanks
The first QL was not a solid dial… Which tourbillon ? With or without moon ? The chrono is THE DUOMETRE for me considère the concept. A very good choice ! Best Ø
