Two fresh pictures of the Jaeger Lecoultre Duometre à Chronographe Grey Dial.

Mar 24, 2015,09:56 AM
 

In platinum, as you may know, there are two dials. The White, quite rare, which was made around 50 pièces, and the Grey, which is not very common, either.


I often saw the Grey dial, made of platinum. I even read somewhere, that the dial only weighted 12 grams, in this configuration.

But I rarely took pictures of it.

Or when I did the outcome was quite poor.

In the real world, the grey dial is quite subtle, hard to take in picture.

Here is my attempt:

 

  

Still, my favourite remains the black dialed one with the white gold case, or the platinum case / white dial.

But this grey is far from being boring!

Best,

Nicolas.

The PT white one was a "boutique" edition wasn't it?

I remember I saw both several years ago and I was quite much more attracted by this whiter edition. Anyway, any of these two are great Duo à Chrono versions and I'm even not sure I would prefer the black one. Nice to see some pics again. Cheers, Mark

Yes, you are right. Now, to choose between the three white metal ones...

It is a very tough choice... I am always waving... Best,Mark. Nicolas

White gold, black dial

Quantieme Lunaire, that's my choise

Well, you know I love platinum but...

in this watch, I feel the black is the winner. I just love it Best Joe ...  

The killer for me would have been platinum case / black enameled dial. ;)

But I feel that the Duometre a Chrono I will get is the white gold black dial. For some psychological and aesthetical reasons. ;) Best, my dear Joe, and enjoy your beauty! Nicolas

Interesting variant.. But +1 on the black/WG version.. On pics this grey one..

.. somehow appears a bit "pale". - Not quite enough contrast for me.. Are all whites +grey LEs or Limited Productions ? Might be interesting to see them side by side or one directly after the other.. But this seems unlikely given the small numbers, you me... 

Limited production, indeed. Around 50 with the white dial, a bit more with the grey dial.

I will try to find both of them, to take a side by side picture. Best, my dear HS. Nicolas.

Platinum white dial....

for me too. I think it does make the entire watch crisper and perhaps also easier to read. Thank you Nicolas, Cheers Francois

Well, as a very good friend of mine......

...says, one does not read the time, one admires, feels and lives the time. Well, something along these lines;) But yes, the black Duometre is just........... perfect! Cheers my friend Francois

Oh! and much more;) [nt]

Ultimate Stealth Duometre

 
 By: vitalsigns : March 25th, 2015-08:47
I *really* like this piece with the gray dial--the ultimate stealth Duometre. Would love to see the overall effect with a dark blue strap. It would be a hard choice between the black dial Duometre chrono and this gray dial piece. Probably would choose the... 

I am hungry, too. There is probably something in the tube, for a new Duometre.

 
 By: amanico : March 25th, 2015-08:54
I would love to see a top alarm. Yes, I really cannot wait. Best, John. Nicolas

The next Duometre in the pipe... Another JLC I will more than likely want!

Love this line .... What do you mean top alarm?

Nice. I would welcome that in the Duometre collection.

 
 By: cory : March 25th, 2015-09:47
I got thinking the other day how we need a repeater Duometre! ;)

We already have it with the HM à Grande Sonnerie.

 
 By: amanico : March 25th, 2015-10:42
An alarm sounding like a MR would be the top. With a 24 hours alarm dial, to be able to set the alarm on 24 hours. And a long power reserve for the alarm, longer for the time... Hmmmm! Best, Nicolas

A Duo repeater more affordable than the HM à Grande Sonnerie!?

 
 By: cory : March 29th, 2015-14:54
Seriously, I wonder what will come next in the Duometre collection!

Hmm..."stealth duometre"…makes me admire the grey more

 
 By: watchthatman : March 25th, 2015-17:21
I'd still choose the black, but there's something to appreciate about a the stealth monochromatic Pt.

Fully agree

 
 By: vitalsigns : March 25th, 2015-19:53
The stealth monochromatic gray piece is compelling, but the black dial is impossible to beat Cheers, John

You could try multiple angled light sources...

to augment the sheer depth of this beauty.
