Pre SIHH 2012: Duometre à Quantième Lunaire 40, 5 mm.
By: amanico : November 30th, 2011-02:38
Ok, my friends, I just received the green light to post this first piece from the 2012 JLC Collection. For the moment, I just have the press file. You will notice two things: 1/ The smaller size ( 40, 5 mm ) instead of the 42 mm of the previous Duometre à...
Good to see,,,,

the size going the other way, for a change.
Personally, I see...

with the smaller dimensions that JLC has PP in their cross-hairs. This is a direct appeal to their crowd. And hopefully, the auctions will help (although I think that auctions - especially when padded - are a bit of smoke and mirrors). -Dean

I agree...

And hope all the Richemont's group will follow this new (or old) trend! 40 mm is the perfect size, with some exceptions
What a piece of news !

The little downsizing is indeed a good news to me as I have a little wrist ^^ Nevertheless, as you said, it will be interesting to see it in the flesh to see if the proportions are still as good or if the smaller dimension is maybe not leaving enough room...

Hi Nicolas, Do you know when this gorgeous watch will hit the market ? Best regards
New trend... pin buckle only?
By: kkwn98 : November 30th, 2011-11:36
Very nice piece, thank you for sharing this news. Interested to see that the strap comes with a pin buckle. Is the deployant not offered as an alternative?
Perfect size....
By: Andy : November 30th, 2011-12:17
is the whole range now coming in this smaller size as an option..? Are you tempted Nico..? Yours, Andy.
Too big

...for my taste; 2mm less and it would be perfect! Cheers
42 mm

I am a proud owner of a duometre QL WG for some days now, actually got it last week ! and wearing it since. What I can say is that the visual proportions are just amazing. Yes this is a big watch, heavy as well ( so you always remember it under your shirt...
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big, huge, great fan of the Duometre.
By: amanico : December 1st, 2011-06:30
I used to own the Chronograph, and loved it a lot. I have no problem with the size, 42 or 40,5 mm. What I meant was that I hope that this trend of smaller watches will be all but not ephemere. And once again, I have no problems with bog watches: The Amvow...
Thanks for sharing..

...I am looking forward to seeing it in the flesh when I finally go to SIHH for the first time in 2012 Best Hans
Not sure about this,I need to see it.
By: moc : December 1st, 2011-23:47
Playing with classics is always dangerous,and lets face it the Duometre is a modern classic despite being so young. I don t know if playing with its size is a great move,I can t make my mind up.I think the Duometre case s one of the most beautifully balac...
Exactly the same doubts, Mo.
By: amanico : December 1st, 2011-23:50
Since I knew the existence of this iteration, I am wondering exactly the same thing. A matter of proportions, which are harmonious on the 42 mm case, even if I find it a bit too thick. Would it be better with the 40,5 mm case? Answer soon... Best, Nicolas...
It won t be better...
By: moc : December 2nd, 2011-01:03
it can be ok or good.....not better I think..I love Duo as it is....think about it,The freak,Lange 1,DB25,ROak...etc..are they better in their original size or with latter proportions?
DB 25 did n t work well,nor
By: moc : December 2nd, 2011-01:11
the smaller version of RO(ok for ladies....),Rolex Yachtmaster(ladies again..)...all I am saying is that the original idea of anything(watches,cars,paintings...)is difficult to beat...but lets see... Mo
Uh oh...

Thanks for the news Nico. I have to see it in the metal because I have a first feeling which is not that good: this one seems to be a bit unbalanced when compared to the "classic" one. But I have to check my feeling. Fx
Frankly speaking, thickness is not the problem for me here.
By: foversta : December 2nd, 2011-15:47
40,5 x 13,07: I saw much worse ! And the last watch I bought is even more unbalanced on this topic. For me the main trouble comes from the subdials which now slightly cut the outer scale. In some areas, it is difficult to read the graduations. Ok, ok, it ...
