prefer the 42mm
I just don't like the smaller size on a Duometre. I think it takes something away from the presence of the watch. The only positive I see with the smaller size is that it makes it less conspicuous and thus easier to wear everyday. Thanks for the beautiful pictures, in any case!
JLC SIHH 2012: Duometre à Q.L 40, 5 mm. The real pictures.
A few weeks ago, I posted two topics about the Duometre à Quantieme Lunaire 40, 5 mm, which is part of the 2012 Collection. The Press Release: jlc.watchprosite.com : The first real pictures of the case, and the comparison with the 42 mm case: jlc.watchpro...
Even for a guy who doesn't understand movements that much...
my, my, my... that backside is way too GORGEOUS!!! one can get lost in an afternoon with a loupe looking at that movement. i really love how that double barrel was executed. and that finishing... mama mia. very beautiful. the backside is where the real ar...
" Beauty draws you in to ask questions "...
This is a great statement, on which I totally agree. It feeds curiosity, then knowledge. The decoration is great, on any Duometre, captivating, even. As for the moonphase, it was always deep blue. What I regret, and this is a small reserve but Devil is in...
Now if they introduce a Black dial with either WG or PT ...
things will get really interesting Or Maybe a WG slate dial and PT black dial. What do you think? When will we be seeing this new Duometre QL coming to market anyway, I heard the Sphero is going to be really fast. Regards Tyler
No, I don't think they will...
I do hope that is a ( nice ) exception... It would be a bit too messy to have two size cases for the same watch. If it is a real exception, why not, but a 2d one would not be a good idea, IMO. Best, Nicolas
A much more preferable case size for me.
Have to see this one in the metal. Thanks for the pics. Vlad! F
In a hurry now ..
but will post later,in the meantime may I congratulate you once more for the pics,that movement shot makes you wanna eat that watch! Mo

Oh yes, I'm sold
After trying on the 40.5mm and the 42mm at SIHH I preferred the 40.5mm size (and I do wear big watches - 44mm-46.5mm). The subtle redesigning of the case, especially the lugs, keep some balance to the watch and as a watch I would wear more as a business/d...
Agreed that they did an awesome job in keeping the harmony of the Duometre.
Now, I would have reserved the smaller case for another complication, to keep rhe coherence of the Q.L, which now comes with two ( !!! ) cases. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Have to see it in metal
...to make a statement. The 40.5 mm looks nice, however the the sundials cut into the minute track. Thanks for posting and the gorgeous pics Nicholas! Stefan
I don t dislike it but..
don t go mad either. 1)The bezel has been re worked,or it seems so,now its slightly rounder towards the outside compared to the orignal case. I am using the Chrono as an example to match the rose gold,as you can see the outer rim of the bezel is more angu...
I am happy with the 42 mm Duometre, too. So, not for me, but for smaller wrists...
... Why not? Thanks for your input, Mo. Well illustrated. Best, Nicolas
By the way...
all this talking about the Duometre wanna make me strap one on straight away....been a few days now.... Mo
You will very soon my friend,,I can feel
that you can t live without a Duo..... Question,now after all these editions ,if you would be awarded one,which one will you choose?I think you will replace the one you had....am I right? Mo
Nicolas my Parisien friend...
your wists are smaller than mine - go for the QL 40.5. It would look great on you I really thought you would have a Duometre already. What has held you back from acquiring one? Regards. Simon
Well, that was one year ago... Water has passed under the bridge.
Will get another one, I love it too much... Best, my friend. Nicolas
I think 42, but the minor difference would not deter me.
It is the kind of watch if I tried on I would never consider that it should be slightly bigger. Great photos Nico!
To be tried, my friend. But be warned, the Duometre is a dangerous watch.
In a captivating meaning. Best, Nicolas
look at the movement...
... the finishing for this one is the top of the class!!! can't see the movement twice, otherwise need to take double sleeping pills for tonight stefan
This is one of the most exciting part of the Duometre.
Its raison d'etre, its interest. I feel this piece is on your horizon, Stefan... Best, Nicolas
