Chopard

Love them all but...

 

it depends on your eyesight. The Time Traveler is too hard for my eyes to read. I purchased the GMT One in 2021 and sold it last year. Almost bought it back from the dealer I sold it to. Probably one of the best travel watches I've ever had. Total class, doesn't attract unwanted attention when traveling, amazing finishing and top quality strap. Speaking of the strap, I changed it out a few times for an orange and black rubber strap when I was doing water sports. Found the 50M water resistance - even with a push-pull crown - perfect for swimming. The downside I experienced was the 42mm case was a little too large for my wrist and I prefer a dual time as opposed to a gmt. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with which ever one you choose. Happy hunting!

Trying on three Chopard travel watches

Last February in Fleurier, I was able to try on these three L.U.C travel watches . Do you like one of them? Best, Emmanuel Steel L.U.C Time Traveler One, ref. 161942-3001 42 x 12.09 mm case Caliber L.U.C 01.05-L Platinum L.U.C Time Traveler One, ref. 1619...  

I think all three are really nice,

but, like Nico, number one would be my choice here šŸ˜ŽšŸ‘Œ

For meā€¦

I really like the first two visually, the GMT less so. While I like the optics of the platinum, it is too heavy for me to consider as a regular wear šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø They also had quite some limited city editions that are nice, with Paris, Singapore, Moscow (was bef... 

Another vote for the first one from me !

The orange accents are attractive and enticing against that mostly black dial.

I tried on the steel version when it first came onto the market.

I liked it a lot and even though I have s small wrist it still fit. However, I found the dial a bit busy with too much information, so I put it down.

Love them all but...

Thank you for your feedback, watermark!

In fact, these watches are too large for my wrist and Iā€™m not even really looking for a travel watch: I just had the chance to try these on, with several others, after having visited the manufacture. Best, Emmanuel

Some years ago I tried the top one (orange accents) at a dealer in Munich.

Thinking in advance I would love it but surprisingly it did nothing for me on the wrist. To this day I wonder why because it looks so good in photos. Thanks for the post Emmanuel. M4

Thanks for your feedback.

Tbh, even if I was very happy to be able to try them on, Iā€™m not sold on these watches: they wear too large for my wrist and are a bit busy. I would prefer a Patek 5110. But even the 5110 didnā€™t give me the desire to pull the trigger. So, no ā€œdream watchā€... 

Yes more approachable

I just dont like the grey center. Personally somehow it is energy sucking. Perhaps this black&white in simple white center. or Another version in white center with blue red classic GMT style.

Or maybe this one?

There are several other options. Best, Emmanuel ...  

GMT in orange!

 
By: Richard M : December 18th, 2025-21:22
GMT with orange is for me by far the bestā€”super interest from the color, but less clutter on the dial. I saw in steel at a dealer in Canada a year ago. Superb!

It's definitely appealing.

Let us know if you end up acquiring one! Best, Emmanuel

For me the first oneā€¦

I like itā€¦ maybe slightly big, but I like it. On an orange strap to make it a bit casual - i think it will look nice. ...  

Is it yours?

If yes, congratulations and thanks for sharing it! Best, Emmanuel
