Chopard L.U.C Engine One
During a recent visit to the Chopard manufacture in Fleurier, I was presented this model from 2013: the L.U.C Engine One H Tourbillon.
Not my personal type of watch, as the industrial look and car inspired aesthetic doesn't appeal to me, but I still thought interesting to post about it, together with its sibling from 2010: the L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon.
Best to you all.

What a fun ref
Not my style, but I love how chopard makes so many cool and unique cases and designs. I love my Lange but they use the case on many different models, which is a great cas,e but I also like owning variety among my watches as well
Truly originally appealing,
and to me, the two versions with orange details stand out as the most aesthetically compelling . Thanks a lot for the high quality pictures, as us always the case. Cheers, Filip
Thanks for posting this
I realize that it's not to all tastes, but I've always loved the Engine One. The original vertically-oriented models were my favorites because they do look quite like the orientation of valve covers on a traditional V-format engine. These always struck me...
Thank you for explaining why you prefer the original vertical version.
These watches were made for car lovers and having some engine-related knowledge (which isn’t my case unfortunately) certainly helps to fully understand and appreciate them. Best regards, Emmanuel
I do too, but I know nothing about car
and I like how Tim explained his preference for the vertical-oriented version.
I really dig these pieces from Chopard and have been tempted in the past.
I especially like the over / under rectangular case in titanium with orange accents. Terrific post my friend! M4
