I obviously am, mixing it up... Hard task at hand is to compare it to a VC 1226
I am facing a task too big for my current level of movement understanding - trying to figure out which of the two:
- Chopard 1.010 or
- VC 1226
is the more robust and reliable movement. See, in my head I am "clashing" two watches, two of my current fav wanna-haves, and to pick the better (IMHO) watch, I am trying to take it one step at a time. Dial, hands, case, finishing, bracelet/strap, and inevitably, movement.
Would the "Horological Meandering" be a suitable section to post such and inquiry - comparison or comment of the pros/cons of these two movements?
Cheers,
L.U.C Calibre 1.010 - is it a "tractor" movement
Hello, fellow Purists, For a while now, the 1937 has arrested my attention and lust for a proper high-end piece. With the price tag and possible decision to spend that on a single watch, come a lot of thoughts and also need to dig deep and justify it (in ...
Maybe mixing up the 2 movements
tom_hanx, The movement for the Geneva watchmaking school (Ecole Horologie Geneve) is the calibre L.U.C. EHG. it is used also in the tribute pocketwatch issued in 2010. The L.U.C. 1.010 is a central rotor automatic movement made by the Fleurier manufacture...

Now I understand your question
tom_hanx, The LUC 1.010 movement is designed to be more robust and with stronger torque than other LUC self-winding (automatic) movements. I can only speculate at the moment why Chopard chose to make another automatic movement in the LUC range...... The o...
Got the answer I needed. Thanks, MFT
I think this was indeed designed as "workhorse" or solid base that can be used in many ways: alone, finished by machine; alone finished by hand, base + module machine/hand finished, etc, etc. It is more of a "platform" movement, like a car chassis - one s...
