Thanks for posting this review. I own the Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire (Moon phase version). I absolutely love the watch. That said, my only disappointment is the strap doesn't come with a break-away clasp as most nice watches do. Already, the strap is starting to wear down due to having to slip it into the buckle. For this amount of money, a break-away clasp is fully expected.
The MSRP for this is quite reasonable given the finissage of the dial and movement as well as foudroyante complication. That being said, I feel it is a bit too superlative for a daily-wear. JLC is somewhat sporadic in their pricing, but this is a good value no matter which way you slice it. I'll stick with my Langes, but can enjoy this for what it is. Thanks Ariel, great review!
jaime pereira Grammar police, watch out! Or (after seeing your name), should I say "federales"? :) My Goodness, Pancho! You're not a gringo anyway and guess what: I'm not a bloody English! Now, be a good lad and fix me some breakfast and clean the room. Go on! Andale!
Waw, thanks for this comprehensive review and HD video footage. Fantastic watch, but I will always dislike how it is so massive! How come they can't bring watches back to the classic 35-40mm range?
Can't afford paying $47,000 for this watch? You're in luck, there's one on ebay right now for the low low price of only $36,000! Too bad I still can't afford it :(
JLC make some of the very finest watches in the World, easily comparable to Patek Phillippe but much more affordable. Sadly, the clown doing these so-called reviews is useless and never seems to prepare what he's going to say. Tim at Watchuwant is the real deal, knows his stuff and talks sense!
Sorry but "reading the chronograph is obviously very legible because of the high contrast of the dial", yet it took you ages to work out what it was reading :) Obviously just for show, these kinds of chronographs .... Split seconds haha, useless in any stopwatch anyway but this one does look very cool I'll give it that. Nice looking watch overall.
Jaeger alcohol is German I believe whereas JLC is a French-Swiss brand, if I am not mistaken - so regional pronunciations do affect it. If I am not correct, the actual pronunciation is something like "zhay-zher leh koolt" but of course everyone can do it different.
The easiest way to find out correct pronunciation is to look up JLC's commercials or interviews with someone who works for them. I think Ariel's pronunciation of the brand name is actually pretty good (at least compared to some of the other reviewers on youtube).
Buy a bloody stop watch ok some of these momevent are works aad i would never lire of looking a it , but by 5 buck stopwatch ! who really uses the chroronograrph

I love the way Ariel sounds embarassed when he mentioned the price yet keeps a straight tone in respect for the manufacturer.
Foudroyante is one of my favourite complications and very underrated. Many enthusiasts haven't even heard of it
Absolutely beautiful. The foudroyante is hypnotic. Beautiful and complicated.
That's the dream watch !!! On my Christmas List for Santa !
Every time I look at watch reviews, I go "hey this looks cool, wonder how much it is?" And of course all the ones I like just happen to cost $8000+
Emin Tahirov look at seikos and you might start having a little less sticker shock.
Around 30500
Thank you. There are some geniusus knocking about. How else could you describe some1 that makes something this special.
Nice, but man, it bothers me how the small hand jumps in between the digits and not ON 1, 2, 3 etc..

Colton Davis "Sporadic in their prices"? "Sporadic": as in sometimes they put prices on their watches and sometimes not? Care to elaborate on that?
Stopped at 41 minutes on chrono and took about 41 minutes to read the chrno. Fancy impractical chrono
Shouldn't the foudroyante hand also jump to zero ( 6 in this case ) when the chronograph is reset? Now it just jumps to a position around 3...
Do a review on a Grand Seiko!!
Simply stunning. I'm curious how you get access to such high end pieces?
He gets paid to review them and that only happens if you have a funny accent and you would be a white boy
with horrible nails
Fastcougar3200 On the other hand, I guess it doesn't happen when you find it challenging to compose a grammatically correct sentence.

Check out Longines Conquest watches they are the traditional size of 35mm
Great review of a astoundingly beautiful marvel of a watch
one of your best reviews
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for this review.

Out of control awesome
Awesome eye catching watch,
I wonder why JLC does not use a free sprung balance on these watches?
Does this watch come in Platinum? Or SS?
I love watches how can I get to wear this just to have the feeling..
how much does it go for?
that flying second thing gets on my nerve

Graham Webster lol. Nice observation! Lmao
I don't understand why people like quarts so much
If you learn how to spell quartz you'll probably find out
one sixth of a second is next to useless
😵😎😍😇💝
"ger ger le coultre' is that how its pronounced? not like Jaeger as in the liquor ?
That is indeed correct Mr McKnight ^_^

Thank you, and yes, guess you do learn something new everyday. this watch community is very helpful haha
It's pathetic to pronounce "Jaeger", which can also be written "Jäger", as though it were a French word. And no, I'm not a native speaker of German.
haha $47000 ......Ridiculous!!
!!!!!!!
