The price hurts? I think it is a real bargain. We had this discussion with the Manufacture when they released it in 2007. 40 K Euros for the platinum version was a real bargain for that it was. Maybe even too low.

Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronographe White Gold, Black Dial. 6th Anniversary!

There are watches we love for their cool factor, others for their beauty, or their refinement and class. There are few watches which gather all these qualities. This is indisputably the case of the Duometre, which, moreover, adds a touch of originality du...

Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronographe White Gold, Black Dial. 6th Anniversary!

What an amazing post, dear Nico.

Thanks for your comment, mon ami. It is part of the watches which were stolen to me, in January 2011.

😔

Alas, alas...

THE JLC to want

It is really eye catching. I cannot get rid of it, and believe me, I take a lot of long times admiring it.

I understand better why you see double... it's because of looking at the Duometre... I thought that alcohol abuse was the cause ;-)

It's by far the best version of the Duometre

A successful package, definitely. I just hope that Jaeger Lecoultre will develop this line as it deserves.

Let's hope so!

And something tells me they will. ;)

Hahaha I guess a little birdie from the Maison told you ;)

I hope I heard well. ;)

Ah the mesmerising Duometre!

Merci, mon ami. Jaeger Lecoultre has a gold mine with this line.

I am just perplexed as to how they are still so undervalued for what they are.

Exactly. But more and more people will get the interest of this watch, I am pretty sure of that.

Undervalue is cool for Duometre lovers

At least, they will go to honest and true watch lovers.

Like the Purists !

Yep!

;-)

An untapped gold mine...

True, true!

JLC is sometimes but more often strange

We have to go on convincing them.

I am even ready to pay with my body for that ;-)

Definitely a unique watch from every horological aspect, a piece for purists. No fault here off course but my heart stops when I see the PT model... Happy birthday and more to come!🥂

Thank you, Z!

Wonderful homage to the Duometre.

The double folding buckle pinches my wrist. The pin buckle is much better, in my opinion. Thanks, Gerard and enjoy yours!

I heve both... Pin and double folding buckle and prefer the folding one ;-)

For safety reasons or for comfort?

Both... don't have a problem with th comfort of the folding buckle

Extremely charming, the story, the watch, the man 😁

The price hurts? I think it is a real bargain. We had this discussion with the Manufacture when they released it in 2007. 40 K Euros for the platinum version was a real bargain for that it was. Maybe even too low.

No of course the 40 for the Pt Chrono WAS fair...

And in the second market?

Some offers are great, we'll see if these raise in the future if they bring new models and keep rising the retail...

What I firmly think.

The movement on the duemetre is simply spectacular and unique. It has a massive vibe for some of its thick components yet also some very refined area, more delicate and unique

It is really original. One of the finest modern Chronographs, and one of the most original, for sure!

Your style is unmatched.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Kevin.

6 years already, I can hardly believe it has been so long since you added this version.

Well, I first had the platinum in 2008 till January 2011, then got the White Gold Black Dial on the 26th of December 2016. So, basically, it took me 6 years to replace it...

6 years already!! Crazy how time flies in good company! Happy birthday! A great watch, definitely! Best, E.

Yes, time flies at the speed of sound. Thank you, E.

I was so close to getting one a couple of weeks ago but ended up with something else. This will be my goal for 2023. Hopefully Elon Musk will just shut up and Tesla stock recovers a bit.

LOL! I keep my fingers crossed for you. It is a MUST HAVE.

A nice goal !

Oh yes! The Black Gang. ;)

Hope a black UTT for a Gang bang ;-)

With a tantalum case.... Hmmmmm...

And aventurine dial ;-)

Black or blue aventurine?

Both ;-) Who can do more can do less

fascinating story, I am truly happy that you could replace it!

I remember you recently got the UTT. Another dream watch for me, as you well know. ;)

Superb watch, wonderful love story 🫶👌👌

Merci beaucoup, Mike.

Duometre

Not split second hands. The silver one is for the second ( time ) and the gold one is for the Chronograph.

not Split second

We are still in the hope that one day, JLC will make it, indeed.

Maybe soon.... The split true second... The split true second... The split true second... The split true second... The split true second... The split true second... The split true second... The split true second... A dream !

Well played! ;)

Hope is a good feeling

Always! ;)

But when hope becomes reality it's good... we can then turn with satisfaction to new dreams.

A very nice post from the most beautiful / consistent duometer in my opinion.... It exudes love.

One of the 13 or 14 here in this configuration. Incredible.

I'm still waiting for your count of Duometers by category ;-)

It is safer if you take care of that. ;)

Never learn to count 😬
