it looks awesome, if only it can be in stainless steel to suit my budget :-) [nt]

Baselworld 2017: Chopard L.U.C Lunar One Platinum perpetual calendar watch

 
 By: MTF : March 15th, 2017-09:06
Perpetual Moonlight on Platinum As a pre-Baselworld 2017 trade show tease, I am pleased to reveal the new flagship model of L.U.C Lunar One in a 100-piece limited edition. Chopard’s perpetual calendar model with astronomical moon-phase display has already...  

Absolutely gorgeous, and easy to read

I love big date perpetuals, but they are rare. Lange's is great but I cannot read the subdials well. Here, I can. And the moonphase with the starry sky is sublime. Bravo, LUC!

And I thought just the opposite

on the month and day dials. all just seems to run together.

What a stunning looking watch

This has to be the best looking non chrono watch I have seen in a very long time if not ever, as I just don't get along with chrono's on my wrist these type of complication watches are of the highest level of complexity for me and this Chopard looks like ... 

Beautiful...but please

PLEASE........40mm,,,,, as beautiful as it is these wrist clock sizes are just too OTT for me. Sorry to be a nay sayer. It is such a fab piece that it doesn't need to raise it's voice. From a true Chopard fanboy (ahem!! old geezer). Antony

It has to do with old eyes and better legibility

 
 By: MTF : March 15th, 2017-16:18
I understand and used to limit my watches to 40mm diameter. Slowly, better legibility required increase in size to 42mm. I tried 43mm on Mille Miglia and it was OK. Then, the 44.5mm Superfast was manageable except the height exceeded shirt sleeve cuffs. F...  

Maybe,

but looking at the new beauty 1.3mm off the radius,,,reduce the thickness/width of the bezel or border between it and the edge and you're there. Same legibility, ,,and less overall size and bulk. Would suit me nicely. Just saying, )

Stunning. I have always professed adoration for the Chopard perpetuals.

This version is quite appealing.

Stellar - love how the blue interacts with the platinum :)

Similar to how well it works on the LUC Quattro but with a different dial balance as a result of a different complication. It truly is a \'president\'s watch\'!

L.U.C Perpetual calendar watch in steel

 
 By: MTF : March 16th, 2017-09:52
beerstyle, There is one Chopard perpetual calendar watch in steel case. It compromises a bit without a moon display that you find on the L.U.C Lunar One but Hey! it's still a perpetual calendar watch at affordable price... L.U.C Perpetual Twin in steel In...  

OMG L.U.C!

That\'s really all I can say about these 100 special watches! My goodness, this is breathtaking.

By definition, a gentleman needs only one excellent perpetual calendar

Jed, This could be Y-O-U....... MTF

The first cut is the deepest.......

Really nice watch. Must have a look.

Beautiful watch!

The current Chopard LUC designs have lot of beautiful signature touches. Those hands, for instance. Honestly, I was never quite convinced by the dial of the earlier versions, but there are no doubts with this new release. [Typographic edit]
