They are hacking, and slightly more

Hi Mostel,
Both seconds hands are hacking, and bring a little more. Here is what I wrote last year:
"As I wrote
about hacking the watch, in fact I must explain. If you pull the crown it stops
the seconds hand immediately and the lighting seconds hand keeps running till
it stops at 0. The other indicators are stopped too but you obviously
can't notice it. If you pull again lightly the crown the central seconds hand
goes back to 0, pushed by a heart cam like those used for resetting chronograph
hands.
Once you push
back the crown at the desired moment the hands and all indicators begin running
again. At this precise time the escapement is still at full precision as it was
not stopped and is not interfered by the re-activation of the indicators."
It was there: jlc.watchprosite.com

Is there a totalizer on this Duometre Lunaire?

Hi guys, So I'm in love with this watch... then I start wondering... is there a totalizer for the chrono? It seems that there is not. So does the chrono hand just fly around and add up to nothing except beautiful?
No chrono...

Hello, I too went through the puzzlement of what is in this watch... The subseconds display is not chronographic - I believe it always spins, showing time zip along. And it can do this I guess because there is a barrel to power the indicators, which is se...

Obviously I've not seen one running....

but isn't the 'lightning' seconds hand a little distracting running so fast on the dial..? Rotating once a second when there is another second hand seems a little odd, I don't get it. Sorry as it looks great with the black face, Andy. PS - Nico is there a...
As for the Duometre à Q.L, be patient, I will post something very soon.

But to make it short, the purpose of the Duometre à Q.L is the precision. The second hands hack and both reset to zero. A precision at a 1/6 th of second. As for the Master 8 Days Perpetual, I have several issues: First I " lost " my brand new computer an...
That makes more sense...

I did wonder what the beauty of the Duometre QL was, but as you explain it's about precision then I understand more No worries about the Perpetual and no rush, I was just curious as there isn't a mention of it anywhere...one site which did have some pics ...
I guess they are all waiting for the master...

it's not this site...it's every site that has nothing on it yet so I guess they all wait for you then copy it..!! You are the man Nico I look forward to your reports on both the Duometre QL and the Perpetual. Cheers, Andy.
Really! Wow.

That's pretty darn unique. Thank you all for replies!!! I think this officially makes this a 'crazy' watch... which I may actually like MORE now... how fascinating and highly eccentric. Poetically, you have the absolute micro-expression of lightning fast ...
Hard to resist this watch bug!!!
