Yes, you are right, sometimes this black dial turns charcoal. Classic, instead of dated? Good, my friend. Really good.

Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronographe: 4th Anniversary.
If there is a watch which is among my favorite, with the " keeper " status, the Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronographe certainly is one of them, one of the ten watches, all brands included, which will probably stay with me forever. The Duometre is a spe...
Awesome
If I may say this one is better color match to you (it is got more confident and trustworthy as well as heritage feel) , than the lost white dial.
Without doubt... a great watch...
A watch that shows the true horological giant that Jaeger LeCoultre is....
I’ve always loved this one Nico!
Great to see you give it the wrist time it deserves! All the best, Niall
Superb Nico , a very keeper
Me too, 4 years yesterday... I like it more and more. ...
I like your second Duomètre much more
than your first (lost) version. And I don't understand what your problem is with the case? It's a very beautiful watch with a mesmerizing dial, a stunning movement and encased in a beautiful case. I wouldn't change anything about it. Nothing at all. I wis...
I kinda like it though. The simple lines and surface give it that “prototype” look and I mean that in a good way. Imagine them finally getting the Duometre to work and they gave you that raised eyebrow look when..
You ask about bevelling on the lugs ;-) That case is for that first batch of Duometres.. a pure look if you will
A watch with 2 brains
It is one of my grails too, which I hope to have one day. This piece is a thinking man’s piece. I can imagine you would fiddle with the chrono while thinking...or admire the movement each night before sleeping. The guilty pleasures of owning such a magnif...
Which would you pick?
If you had a budget of US$38k for a dressier piece in precious metal and leather strap. Could you recommend me some please? I need some ideas. My current wishlist in this range are: 1) ALS Up/Down 2) Rolex Cellini moonphase 3) FPJ Chronometre bleu Thanks ...
Can you recommend me a few more Holdenchamp
I think you and I have very similar taste. Something below $38k usd. I’m still scratching my head. The FPJ CB has eluded me and it is jawdroppingly lovely. Warm Regards, Mike
Ah yes!
I would prefer a 3 handed piece. The rest is an open criteria for a dressier piece. Called the AD yesterday and got waitlisted for the FPJ chronometre bleu. Thing is, the price is AUD$40k now which seems inflated again.
Thanks so much
I have reached the point where my wife is eyeing every purchase like an alpine eagle. The purchase will have to be as stealthy as possible.
If I could only keep 10 ! (Paraphrasing of course)
Haha. We understand you when many wouldn’t. For modern watches I think this is the first watch I associated with you, first one that comes into my mind. Do you think it’s time to re-engineer the entire movement or just to change up the presentation (case,...
Thank you for sharing this lovestory, Nicolas. This post really helps
People to learn more about this piece and yet is very personal and emotional. I think its interesting that the dial looks different in each of your pictures, i like the dial on the shot with the red wine in particular. A fantastic movement is a clear bonu...
super cool
this is a truly cool piece.... I have to agree, the slight weakness lies in the case as it is a bit too angular for its overall character in my opinion... on your wrist shots however that is not at all the case, looks superb! Enjoy!
Beautiful dial layout with an awesome movement!
A top, top chronograph indeed! Warmest wishes
Superb Duomètre et ... belle déclaration !
I saw this version recently ...and found it superb !
Superb write-up mon ami. I agree with almost everything you wrote about this version of the Duometre à Chronographe, except the case. I actually like the case, although I do understand your point about design and maybe it could have been 40.5mm...
like the QL enamel dial version. At 40.5mm I think it would be perfect and I would not change a single thing but that is me being extremely picky. Regardless, this black dial variant is also one of my favorite watches in my collection and I thank you for ...
Indeed, we have discussed this at length prior. I would love to add a Duometre Rattrapante at some point if JLC ever decides to make one...
No idea what other function they could make which would be coherent with the dualwing design? Maybe a Duometre Memovox but less interesting to me, or maybe a Duometre PPC since I think JLC has never made a PPC ? Now that would be amazing but probably a bi...
Hmm, I don't think so, especially if the price reflects the quality of the piece. I don't think a Duometre PCC is more than a Duometre Rattrapante 🤷♂️
Prices might be similar as the different could be nominal 🤔
It looks like you’ve made some wonderful memories with this Duometre
Wishing you many more years of happiness with this gem on your wrist.
Happy 4th anniversary!
Hope you will enjoy her in many years to come. And thanks for sharing this wonderful write up on your special day with her A real pleasure to read!
Love seeing all the pics of the Duometre out and about! The matte dial seems to almost go charcoal in some of the pics, very dynamic
As for the case, I quite like it but I do see how it could feel dated. That said, I think if JLC does continue to develop the Duometre in an exciting way without updating the case, that would be fine too. Then the case would become "classic" instead of da...
it brings bad luck, it seems ... ;-)
Unless the owner of this superb duometre gives it to me at a low low price ... ;-) ROLF
