Why " Sadly "? If you didn't go for it, that is certainly because you preferred

The Cartier.
So, no need to be sad, but to be glad!

Who is this silly guy, in the background, taking a wrist shot? :) :) :) More seriously, the Suometre à QL Enamel will be my Asian Trip Part III. What's not to be madly in love, here? Best, my friend. Nicolas
charming Model from JLC
By: WTA : July 8th, 2014-09:09
This model is appropriate in any wrist because the dial have many of the properties and color white,and have Suitable size As for the person is the background , I don't know, LOL... But i think this is my friend from Paris and named Nicolas ,is a gentlema...
Thank you for the live pictures!
By: alphabeta81 : July 8th, 2014-08:24
I have been looking forward to seeing them for quite some time! This is one of my favorite releases not just of the last year but of the last 5! Absolutely stunning and shows the masterful craftsmanship of JLC!
Don't you think it deserved a special treatment?
By: amanico : July 8th, 2014-08:29
Now, it is time to fully discover it. And I am sure we'll have several other opportunities to discuss it. I agree with you, it is one of the hits of this year. A feast. Best, and thanks for your input! Nicolas
Almost ready to order it...
By: Arie - Mr Orange : July 8th, 2014-08:41
....it's just too nice to let go.... PS the 40.5 mm is perfect in combination with that grand feu enamel dial if you ask me.
Sadly the acquiring of this watch
By: Arie - Mr Orange : August 11th, 2014-05:49
has failed due to an impulsive buy involving a Cartier (will post later when the Cartier rolls in). So no more budget for the JLC for now :-(
impulse purchase
By: Arie - Mr Orange : August 11th, 2014-07:21
So no I do not preffer it over the JLC, but the Cartier has got some very special functions which are uncommon for a clock. In about 4-5 weeks I can show you more
+1 on what my current choice has been: WG/black.. But if I look..
By: hs111 : July 8th, 2014-08:55
..at these terrific pics, that one scores in more than 1 point: - the email grand feu - the diameter of 40,5, which I would prefer.. if I ever were to decide.. LOL ! - the subtle colored tid-bits ( with red 5m indices & else) - I like this version of the ...
Question
By: 4Js : July 8th, 2014-10:08
Does th date pusher advance the date and moon together, once you have set the moon independently? Thanks Joe
Very tempting.
By: fernando : July 8th, 2014-19:21
The 40.5 case makes all the difference for me and who can resist the enamel dial! Luckily I managed to get a wrist shot of yours .... a constant reminder.:) Best fernando ...
Beautiful, but...for me 41.5mm would have been better
By: vitalsigns : July 8th, 2014-21:08
An awesome piece. I do have a slight issue with the case size since IMO the original Duometre dimensions are simply perfect. In this piece, I would have preferred the 41.5 mm size. IMO the bezel of the 40.5 mm case seems slightly too thin relative to the ...
Fantastic report as usual...
By: gensiulia : July 9th, 2014-00:07
...of this stunning timepiece, thanks Nicolas. i still prefer the Quantième Lunaire in WG with black dial, the most beautiful Duometre so far, in my opinion. cheers, chris
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the white gold
By: watchthatman : July 9th, 2014-17:50
with black dial. I think the placement of the subdials on the enamel 40,5 is a bit crowded. They either need more room to breathe, or there should be some overlap between the 1/6 second and the other two. Also, in the JLC photos the black indices and nume...
Subdials
By: Arie - Mr Orange : July 10th, 2014-05:23
seems to me that the subdials have the exact same lay out as with the 42 mm dials...(space-distance wise) anyone?
It wasn't actually that the subdials are closer, now that
By: watchthatman : July 10th, 2014-18:43
I see it on something bigger than my phone screen. It's that we can see the outline of the subdials on the enamel, and there's no outline on the non-enamel 40,5, or on the white gold and black. This increases the breathing room for me between the top two ...
same here
By: Arie - Mr Orange : July 11th, 2014-04:28
stupid Duometres
A 40.5mm case is nice for a change.
By: BABKA : July 10th, 2014-02:39
But for me personally, I would also have preferred a 42mm case once again. Thanks for sharing your report and pics Nicolas!
My Impressions...second try
By: moc : July 11th, 2014-07:42
Well I have pros and cons.... I had the chance to see it again... It is a wonderful watch, really,the dial makes the watch in this case. It could be one of "the"perfect watches,where the technical features of the cal 381 (with all its marvellous merits)ma...
Agreed on the wording. " Enamel Grand Feu " was really not necessary.
By: amanico : July 11th, 2014-07:51
It is clear that it is an enamel dial. Like you this is the only Duometre I accept in this smaller case. The lunar disc and phase is a plus, I agree on that point too. Well, I thikn that for an owner of the black dial ,the dilemma exists. For those who do...
I need enamel too :)
By: moc : July 11th, 2014-08:08
Its a dilemma now... as this watch would require some fundings ,not just an exchange...well I need a lot of motivations... Next few months there is a lot of thinking to do.....that writing is putting me off though...enamel is class,elegance,understatement...
wow, that's really beautiful
By: donizetti : July 12th, 2014-12:47
40.5 is actually closer to my usual tastes and the enamal dial looks just wonderful. Could've done with less writing on the dial but that is not a deal breaker. Very tempting! Best Andreas
Do you have any fetish with no.5?
By: Alex83 : August 6th, 2014-03:28
in your last picture the watch is showing 5h05 pm, 5 seconds and 5/6th of second, on the 5th day of the month.
