Hi Pat
The exception seems to be with the contemporary design - the Tech Series including the tourbillons.
Somehow, some areas may not comply with the criterias.

To side-track, if you have a chance, just compare the value of a
regular TWIST (in gold case) and a Tech Twist (SS). For me, rational
thoughts, with the price difference, the Twist is better value.
However, considering from design point of view, the Tech Series may be
more appealing
.
You have mentioned it...the L.U.C pieces carries some of the personality of Mr KFS, confident and under-stated. If he is coming again to this region and have a small gathering, you should catch up with him for a conversation. A deep thinker and no-air.
The point about history is for story-spinning, except for the continuous and uninterrupted. And as you mentioned, it could be bought
.
L.U.C though only ten-year-young, is a marathon-runner (as conveyed by KFS). It always look at long-term which will benefits not only the company but the owners too. (In case you have time, please read the interview with KFS : chopard.watchprosite.com
).
After all said and done, I think it is marvelous to come out 5 movements within a short decade.
If you are planning a trip here, please let me know. We catch up.
