Here's something kind of...unique

May 13, 2017,16:55 PM
 

The other day I had a once in a lifetime opportunity given to me to see an amazing Chopard piece.  Here are some photos of the mini get-together.



My WG LUC 150 is on the right and on the left?  What is this?



Ho!  It's a PT950 LUC 150!

The hands are a silver metal...I assume white gold, but given that the case is platinum it's possible that the hands are platinum as well. Apparently, this was a custom order and is the only one of its kind. It's shockingly heavy, but the platinum case with the black dial - as with a Patek - looks absolutely stunning. 

With a little bit of luck, I hope to have this on my wrist next week in Cannes. HAGWE!

The private order L.U.C 150 in platinum case.....the apocryphal timepiece. It must be a private order because the dial is black and that is not the usual Chopard dial colour for platinum L.U.C watches. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice time in Cannes; bring...  

Admittedly, that blue PC looks amazing

I know people like to stick to the basics, but blue is my favorite color.

Fantastic piece!

And I hope you bring back a trophy from Cannes!

Haha...no, not a film guy.

But Chopard is a Cannes sponser and sometimes gives out tickets to customers. This year, I grabbed them. It's a "Piece Unique", as it says on the back. I guess that means that Chopard will never make another platinum/black combo of the LUC 150. Let me jus...  

Wow, that's great!

What an experience!

I tell you...

Mr. Tommassino and Mr. Infante were incredible to work with. Great people, super modest, I mean, you can really see why they've made it with Chopard.

I love it! We have a beagle, and the cufflinks were too cute. Dogs, man. Dogs. Had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Scheufele himself. He had just come from driving the Mille Miglia. ...  

Must have flown in a bizjet

Mr Scheufele has more legs of Mille Miglia to drive yet until 21st May. How can he get back from Cannes to drive the next day? Regards, MTF Miss K. ...  

That, sir, is a good dog

I think Mr. Scheufele flew back around noon today? He wasn't in Cannes by then.

So, I promised something cool

While here in Cannes, I got to have dinner with Mr. Infante (very nice person, btw) and he showed me some nice items that I thought you might like to see. First is my LUC 150 next to Mr. Scheufele's own prototype no. 1 striking repeater. As has been point...  

One last photo

I totally forgot to add the shot I had of the rear of the perpetual chrono. It's below. It's interesting to me how Chopard has gone their own way with their movements. Granted, it's because of ETA bringing all their movements in house, but it also shows a...
