Chopard L.U.C has a tradition of openwork dials for Launch models

Magnus,
Thanks for the final instalment of report.
I learnt even more about the Full Strike than I thought was left to learn!
Regarding the openwork dial, I agree that some people would prefer a plain closed dial. This is possible because the sound technology of a monocoque gong and resonator sapphire component means that the dial does nothing to the sound quality. Of course, that may come later in future editions.
L.U.C has a precedence of openwork dials for the inaugural editions of their new complicated movements e.g. the L.U.C Chrono One was also issued as an openwork dial for the launch but subsequent versions have been regular closed dials.
L.U.C Chrono One

Bjorn, I was an early naysayer about the revised dauphine fusee hands on new L.U.C models. Then, I spent an afternoon with Mr Guy Bove and Mr Karl-Friedrich Scheufele at the Manufacture. I received pretty much the same technical design explanation as Magn...
