Hi everybody,

Does anyone know how the dial of the Duometre is made? Is this the same technique which is used on the black dial side of the Grande Reverso Duodate and the Reverso Grande GMT (any pictures of those birds)? Anyone knows how they call this technique and if it is used on other watches (JLC and other brands). I find it great looking; somewhat like the structure of paper. Lookes like they used some kind of oxidating technique?

Looking forward to further information.

Cheers,

Starman

That on the platinum version, the dial is made of grained platinum ( yes, you read well ), and 12 grams of platinum is used for that.

On the RG version, the dial is silvered grained, execurted by hand.

Hope this will be of some help.

Best,

Nicolas

No message body

on all watches.

The look, the spirit of the Duometre works very well with this dial, but not on a more modern looking watch, such as an Amvox, for example.

Nor on a Polaris, though.

What you need is an elegant, dressy and classic watch, in my opinion.

The Duometre is a perfect competitor for this kind of dial.

Seems to sport the same dial effect....but haven t seen one yet so I can t tell....but if I see one...........

Another demon for me.

It seems that we share some common demons...



If only it could come in white metal....

Best, my friend.

I must say that for such a 1920s looking watch, rose gold and grained dial is hard to beat.

It could be your first RG...cmon...

Ready for Vegas?

I m coming to Paris soon.

Mo

I already own one...



When do you come?

Best,

Nicolas
