Chopard

The other day I was at the Chopard boutique and something caught my eye. That does not happen often with Chopard. I respect the LUC range for its quality and construction but their designs leave me lukewarm. I once owned two LUC watches, one was the origi...

Afterall, only one watch next year. - SJX:::0:b4c7aab8ae8e3cee1c921d4c3d2f46d0:7d0::::

yes... and not the Only Watch... grrrrrr

all I can say is I told you so. SJX's pics are great and this piece will look nicer in the metal.

all you told drives me crazy anyway, LOL. must see the metal very soon. stefan

hehehehe. Buut seriously... its a very nice piece and to me, in the metal for this piece is not underwhelming.

And more will be delivered in the future. - SJX This message has been edited by SJX on 2009-11-10 20:35:35

and for the nice pics. It does look inviting and I did make an effort to try to see one in the metal but no luck.I guess they aren't in HK yet. Will have to wait for an account from our very discerning JLC moderator to see if it passes the test.

As we soon have a L.U.C Dinner, it will be the opportunity to have an eye on it. From what I see on your pics, it seems that the finish is appealing, and that the layout of the dial ( my biggest problem with L.U.C watches ) looks nice. Best, and thanks fo... 

fresh look and feel about it and not gimicky. The play on shades of silver is done is a very enduring tasteful manner I think.

I'm discovering L.U.C watches... Will tell you once I see it in the flesh. But right now, from the pics I see, the " à priori " is positive. Best, Nicolas

it looks better than several JLC watches in the same price range. ;-) - SJX

between the Tech Twist and the original Fleurier model.... I may need to start saving some money A

Classic and different but not quirky.

1.96 is without QF certification. Thanks for the post, SJX. Regards Ling

Beyond the swan neck regulator on the 1.96 which the 9.96 does not have. There are some aesthetic differences, like the rotor decoration and style of engraving, but those are visual rather than indicators of finishing quality. - SJX

I know I cant hv the beehive and admire the nice sml rotor movement unless they do one with an officer case . I pray that they do one someday . This is a very tech twisty version of a QF , a smart play of design . Thanks SJX

The open caseback is far more attractive than the beehive. - SJX

...that's some icy goodness, SJX. Stellar photos of an attractive watch. I continue to really enjoy the LUC line from Chopard. This one gets added onto my list of Chopard faves, which also currently includes the steel Chrono One, Strike One (both the clas...
