Great to hear from you!
Hi Alex
Thanks for the note. Hope all is well with you too.
To me, the first is always special. Somehow, current market appeals to something more exciting avant garde or at least contemporary, but the so-called 'boring classic' is evergreen.
See you around, Alex.

L.U.C Qualité Fleurier - Version 4
A long friend of L.U.C started with some interesting acronym for 'QF' - Quite Fantastic, Quintessential Fun, Quest Fulfilled in a recent post. Indeed relevant. What other descriptors to describe the QF (Qualité Fleurier) ? After wearing for several years,...
Two words for Version 4: Instant Classic.
Honestly, I find it stunning in every respect, and utterly irresistible. Of course i love the movement, and the case/lugs. These markers on the dial are favorites of mine and remind me of similar markers from Patek, JLC, and Vacheron. I like that there ar...
Well said!
For practicality, SuperLuminova coated indices and hands are great for low-light reading. However, for classic and perhaps longevity, I feel the SuperLuminova should not be there. What are your thoughts? Oh! Jed... the wrist with Version 3 is yours :-P (I...
I like the presence of superluminova for practical purposes,
particularly when subtly integrated into markers the way they are in the QF. I don't think that presence is a logevity issue the way Tritium is, but I haven't given that much thought. No need for a photo credit, Kong! I was simply making fun of my own hai...
I have a soft spot for the two tone dial, and for the open dial, too.
Nice post, Kong! If I had to chose only one, the open dial would be the one. It has something original I like a lot. Best, Nicolas
This classic dial is, IMO...
.. the best version ever. I would instantly move my finger to grab it to handle.... Wow.... I can't wait to meet it in person. Very, very nice. One for many people who like classic look and super engineered inside. NIce. Ken
Hope you see it soon ....
This piece looks good. Congratulations for Japan winning the 2020 Summer Olympics! Kong
I like it way more than other classics,
like the PP Calatrava and even the nice VC Patrimony (hand wound). Gorgeous! ;) Marcelo
LUC QF Version 4 is closest to the ideal
Thanks for the chronological review. On balance, I think version 4 is the best so far for the following reasons. 1) As the ultimate certification, the QF should be represented by at least one version that is classic, elegant, timeless and refined. Until n...
My vote gets ...
number 4, the lattest one. It is a very classical watch, but because of the details shown it is far from being boring. Well done! Will try to see one in the metal, sometime soon. Kong, thanks for showing them and it was great to see them all together. Oli...
Aesthetics aside.. the best thing about LUC QF is
Aesthetics aside.. the best thing about LUC QF model is.. the 65 hour power reserve.
It is intentional for all L.U.Cs ...
Hi MervC From the first piece of L.U.C 1.96, very thoughtful of the L.U.C Team, that a watch after being removed from the wrist on Friday evening and not worn over the weekend, it should continue to run on Monday morning, no adjustment, just put on the wr...
Beautiful beautiful design
Chopard did an awesome job with this QF 4. I think it's a perfect choice for one who is bored of the conservative Caltrava or Patrimony and looking for a slightly more upbeat and daring design, yet still keeping the conservative lines. It's like a high-te...
yes, this is the best compared with other 3 versions
... cleaner, more elegant and classic, and the lugs are sexy! thanks, Kong. stefan
Lovely new iteration, Kong!
My favorite is still the first, but this 4th one has a lot of charm and character, and will surely become a classic for any L.U.C. fan. Thanks for sharing, and hope all is well, Alex
Great to hear from you!

My preferred Version 4
There is no doubt the dial is clean but not clean enough. No many words. I would prefer the words "Qualite Fleurier" be replaced with QF logo on the dial. Regards Ling
Likewise ...
Understand where you are coming from, I would like the logo instead of words. Not sure if it is not allowed... anyway, there's one L.U.C with the Geneva Seal logo on the dial, and not the QF. Kong ...
Version 4. Even nicer in person.
I think they really nailed it on this version. Simply gorgeous. Version 3 is very interesting and unique as well. Thank you for excellent photos and information.
