Wife won't be happy... but I am 🙃
Shared in previous posts, in HK... walked into a JLC to potentially pick up a reverso. Then the associate showed me this... a duometre... never seen one before. 2 generations old but think it's sexier than the newer genrations including the one that came out at watch and wonders. 3 independent barrels with skipping hours.
Didn't take me much convincing to pick up. Eff. Happy to add to my collection but it's getting out of hand. Is there a rehab for people like us? Seriously.
Also, app needs ability to add video!

Very nice!!
Incredible ! Congratulations 🍾 Maybe not rehab but we are a support group 😂
Globe looks 3D…is that just me?
Which one did you buy ? The earth model or open work?
I love it btw. Did you get a deal because it was older gen?
Stunning 🤩
Prepare to be sleeping on the couch 😂
Did you break the bank?
Great find! Say it with me « my name is…and I am a watch addict »🫤

They threw in 2 replacement straps and I saved $ with no taxes.

No, I think all of us would agree that buying watches/things you can't afford is fool hardy. But I didn't promise my wife I was done for at least 5 years after 2 watches this year... whoops

Well hope you have a comfy couch
Great piece. Congratulations. No excuses required. You made what IMHO is a good decision although you do need a reverso.
Love the duometer... It is absolutely insane piece of watch engineering 💪🏼
This watch doesn’t get enough attention. You sir have just picked up a true gem.
This watch is special and has one of the most intriguing movements to look at. As pleasing on the back as it is up front.
Well done and congratulations.
If you're happy, she should be happy.
I’ll meet you in rehab. As for video…I think it would be nice, but I kind of prefer the stills. IG has gotten too much with videos and stories. I would like to see WC be kept simple. Some video good. Too much bad.
@swim97 was going to follow but then I saw the naval academy watch, USAFA grad here 😁. Love Asheville, have a place in battery park. Let's grab a beer next time I'm in Asheville!
If your wife asked you to choose between her and the watches, which would you pick? A long term GF asked if I would pick her over my then orchid collection. Told her she already knew the answer.
Wow. 😮 stunning 🤌🏻🤌🏻
Sadly there is no cure ,however there is a support group ,therapy and many ways to manage the symptoms .
That right there is a thing of beauty. You only tred this earth once my friend - if purchasing wrist sized works of art is your thing (as it is for pretty much everyone in this community), more power to you 🙌🏻

We’re basically the WatchCrunch equivalent of an AA meeting where everyone's cheering, "Just one more, it's only one watch!" What's the harm, right? Just a little horological happiness! 🥳

I respectfully disagree. We really need the capability to upload high-definition videos because some watches have intricate details that photos can't fully capture. Perhaps we could integrate this feature with the "What Are You Wearing" posts to keep our feeds streamlined. This way, videos would allow us to truly appreciate the depth and craftsmanship of watches in a way that photos alone cannot, without overwhelming our daily scroll.
Congratulations on your stunning new JLC Duomètre! This watch is a horological masterclass, showcasing the innovative spirit of Jaeger-LeCoultre. The details on both the globe and the open-work models are breathtaking. Wear it in great health and may it always remind you of the excitement you felt the day you picked it up. Here's to many more such happy additions to your collection-in 5 years time!
Congrats, what a wonderful piece
