Agreed. My favourite from the Chopard 2015 collection.
I was very positively impressed by this one. With just one regret: I would have loved to see more of that movement... But I have the same problem with the JLC 8 Days, too...
Best, and thanks for this post, Andrew.

Big Surprise - Chopard LUC Quattro (ref 161926-9001)
I have to be honest, until now I have not really found anything from Chopard that could make me part with my hard earned cash... until now (exception to the PuristS edition... if only it was in orange rather than red!) At one our regular gatherings in Lon...
Looks like this Chopard is calling your name.
We can hear it in your voice/mini review. Very beautiful watch and at 43mm it looks like it can fit in with your lifestyle. Very cool. Bill
I was not expecting such a watch...
I think its just the colour of the dial and as I wear jeans most of the time (if not shorts) then it just ticks the box. Have to decide if it would work with an orange strap. Cheers Andrew

It hit me by surprise Nico...
I think this is better than some recently releases for the movement size... I am normally one who hates smaller movements in large watches, but really this is not too bad. I think it always looks worse with automatic movements so this is one tick. Serious...
I totally understand you. And the dial is my taste, too, which is rare as I am...
Pretty picky... Yes, a good surprise. Best, Nicolas.
Just ask to Chopard a special version Andrew!
With a little touch of orange... A great watch. Fx
It's more than the power reserve.
Actually if you have some interest in the watchmaking technology, the Quattros are much more than the stacks offering up to more tan 200h reserve. I like that you liked it but I like it too. Referring to one of my previous posts: I would have no idea the ...
"Orange" Chopard dial....almost
Andrew, I feel like I've been beating the Chopard drum for years and it's finally getting through. They have not made an orange dial yet but this one is pretty close and with a bit of tweaking in the paint shop, can become orange....... They have the tech...
Maybe I am too silly,
but please anyone can tell me, why are there two pointer-date scale at six? Or the subdial at six has another function as well? Is the little seconde also there? Anyway, it is a great watch! The colour of the dial harmonising perfectly to the fade colour ...
I'll try to answer your question
I believe one needle is a running seconds counter and the other is the date indicator. It is an utterly odd subdial IMO, with a small circular track showing divisions every 5 seconds sandwiched between the odd and even date numbers. I really like this wat...
Michael,
many thanks! Yes, I thought that the one hand is showing the (pointer)date and the other is for the little second. What is confusing and unusual to me, that the dates are shown in two rings, which means, that the pointer date hand is either too short or t...
Unusual but not confusing
once you know how to read it, is it? For the length of the date hand, which has the length accurate for the inner date circle. The inner circle is has all the even numbers in it and markers for the odd ones. So basically every possible date can be read wi...
Dear Kolosstt,
now I understand it! Thank you very much for your explanation! If I have ever seen the watch in live, I wouldn't put such a question! Cheers, Adam
I think when you see it on the wrist...
it makes sense and wouldn't concern me... In fact I had not questioned it at all. Thanks for your explanation. Cheers Andrew
I'm in agreement Adam.
It would definitely be confusing to glance down to see the date and have the seconds hand nearby. You would need to do a double take to figure out which is which. I'm all for unique design, and unique design is often polarizing. In this case, I'm on the -...
Thank you for the quick review of this Quattro
Really love the movement and the level of finishes. Without doubt, there are gems in Chopard LUC collection to be discovered. /W72
Its nice to find a gem...
and I think the LUC collection needs further discovery! Cheers Andrew
I agree, it's a very handsome watch
Normally I am also not bothered with any of the Chopard watches (apart form the PuristSPro version which is growing more and more on me) but this Quattro is a very cool watch. The design of the dial and colour scheme is great. Dressy and casual at the sam...
Great pic Arie!
it shows how the dial changes depending on the light... Mine looks blue but yours more the grey, I love it! Cheers Andrew
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Andrew.
I like the way Chopard refreshed the Quattro, and I love the color of this dial. Like Melvyn, I feel like I have seen so much quality from Chopard with the L.U.C watches for so long. It is nice to see others like yourself enjoying what you see, too. Best,...
