This is a watch that I loved enough to buy new when units were still at primary dealers. You can buy this example from Watchbox for about $10,000 less than I did and get the same experience! Mine has been a pleasure for four years, so I can cut to the chase; you won't regret this one in the long-term! Best, Tim
There are not a lot of words to describe this watch. One can say this is a true engineering work of art. This type of watch shows how far is JLC in the true engineering aspect of the watch game. An amazing, yet classy not overwhelming, perfectly balanced aesthetics. Just beautiful. Congrats on an excellent review and for owning such a superb piece.
More to come tomorrow! I'm experimenting with a four-minute review format for the next two days, so please comment on tomorrow's videos to let me know what you think of the compact delivery format - thanks! Best, Tim
Amazing review for an amazing watch! Even to the JLC staff in Geneva this watch is the ICONIC doumetre. Still the watch is still underestimated and not very well known. However interest seems to pick up driven by spillover demand from Asia, according to the biggest dealer in CH. This LE might not stay that hidden gem any longer...JLC is still a small shop with long service times and scarce resources, but they make some of the most amazing watches, so hopefully the will get more and more the attention they deserve.
Definitely, but having experienced this model, it whetted my taste for high-end JLC. A Grande Memovox and Reverso tourbillon followed; one taste is never enough when you're drinking from the top shelf! Best, Tim
WatchBox Reviews WatchBox Reviews Yeah Tim, I know your great collection. :) But I would pick the Duometre out of it (and yes, it would even be my pick, when you will get the Minute Repeater you are hunting for) :) I just love the „watch hand game“, the dial and dial color of the Duometre.
I'd probably keep the Duometre, too. I've played that "one watch" game a few times with my collection, and the survivor is - usually - the DaC. Best, Tim
Might want to revisit the "I'm never selling" bit, since... it seems Tim sold it. Though, i came here to research buying one, so the more on the market the better.
My purchase was a four-year process of planning and saving, but it was worth the wait. This is a superb watch to own, and it lives up to expectations. Best, Tim

If you find the moonphase model, I want it! Been searching for years with no luck!!

One of the best chronographs available today. If JLC made one in steel, I’d buy it tomorrow.
I felt like i was watching a Lange & Söhne caseback...STUNNING!
It does have the look and character of a Lange, and I consider that a major advantage of this watch. Thank you for supporting our channel!

True exit watch material.. I love this Duometre Chrono!

Hi Tim, I want to buy for me either Unique Travel Time or Chronographe. Which one do you recommend?

This is what would happen If michelangelo was a watchmaker.
Magnificent
I’m sad that you sold this:(
I strongly feel like this watch would be completely worth it if I had the money...

Wow!
