Thanks, Ian, for your input
When I saw the Amvox II at the end of 2005, I was completely mad about it, and it is still honeymoon, Ian.
My purpose with this post was not to say that one is better than the other, but only to give an Hommage to both of them, an Hommage to their qualities, their originality, but also an Hommage to JLC Creativity.
Of course they are very different, but they have their won ( and strong ) appeal!
Enjoy your A II, Ian, and go on dreaming on the Duo Metre.
It is indeed a very nice dream!
Best,
Nicolas

One complication, 2 different watches, but a same philosophy.
- The complication: The Chronograph. - The Watches: 1/ The Amvox II, with its particular vertical trigger pivoting case, which is used in place of the classic Chrono pushers. 2/ The Duometre à Chronographe: "One watch, 2 brains " as for the 2 barrels, eac...
The duometre :)... by faaaar!
Though i got to admit that the chrono mechanism is quite interesting, original,... one down side, u will end up have a perfect finger print on ur watch when activating the chrono, and another when stopping it. The thing that bothers me the most though is ...
So, Karim, wear gloves
You will avoid the fingerprints, and you will e in the spirit of the watch, imagining that you activate the Chrono while driving your Aston... And now, what do you think? Best, Nicolas
u know the driving leather gloves...
... they let ur finger breath ... Anyway u put it, ur gonna get ur finger prints at noon and at 6 o'clock. Focusing on the duometre right now, my mind still on it. She is on the top of my JLC list. That's the one i want put my finger on... and in RG! K.
Duometre, for sure Nicolas.
Call me conservative, but I'm not very much fond of concept watches. Duometre is one of the best examples of true horology in the current market. And it is also a good lesson for high end brands that inovation in movements is always possible. Despite its ...
Both incredible watches but the Duometre is simply spectacular!
Its not just the design of the dial, and the complication of its movement, but I really am impressed with the accuracy of its chronograph display.
For me, the choice is...
Both!... But, as I think that I can´t have all in this live (LOL) I must say my choice... In this case my dreams are "duometres". And I must say too that the strap that you choiced for your beast is really awesome... Best mi hermano. Emilio. PS: I´m come ...
Beautiful pictures...!
Thankfully I am fortunate enough to own both of these amazing chronos but put a gun to my head and I must choose the Duometre. It is just a joy to view in motion.
AMVOX
was my choice. But trust me Nicolas, of course I want both. Especially the Duo in gold....WOW its just flawless. Your P Duo looks great on the navy blue though! I love that combo.... Flawless photos as usual my friend Cheers Ian
Wow, I don't think I'm up for this challenge...
...especially on a Monday! Although, I suppose it is already Tuesday for you, Nicolas. I love both these watches, so picking a favorite from between the two is a little torturous! Reasons I'm for the Duometre: harmoniously balanced dial; flying seconds (S...
Tough call, Nicolas . . .
. . . as these are two very different watches, and even though they have both parentage and a complication in common, they don't seem directly comparable in my view. Being a very casual person, I would gravitate towards the Amvox, but that's a purely pers...
What a pair!
It is so nice to see these two considered together and photographed so beautifully. For me, they both represent what is so exciting about Jaeger LeCoultre: the harmonious marriage of horological innovation and breathtaking design. Even though it is diffic...
