I was half-joking but the short stubby lugs bear some resemblance to those of the new Urban Jürgensen watches that came out this week. Cool watch either way!
Sun kissed Chopard LUC 8HF 🌞
While a time only three hander (plus date) I find the watch has a certain drivers appeal. The high frequency (57,600 vph) movement, the fantastic legibility (at a glance) and the reasonable weight due to the titanium case all contribute to it. OK - watch ...
Not sure about that 😁
Was the Tech Twist era at Chopard when this one came out, so quite some experimentation 👍🏻
Oh I got that 😁
Btw. did a more extensive post on it, where the case and lugs are better visible some weeks ago. Here’s the link: www.watchprosite.com
Very cool to me for sure 😁👍🏻
Not quite sure what Chopard is intending to do with the movement going forward but I highly applaud them on the boldness of giving an 8Hz watch a try 😊👏🏻
That really is a lovely looking Chopard LUC 8HF
I really like the texture of the dial and the simple and clean look of the whole watch plus the nice contrast of the second counter against the colour of the dial. Wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc
I see it the same way 😊👍🏻
The way that the details fit together into a coherent whole is very good indeed 🙌🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻
This is actually the original one 😊
A rare occasion where I use the watch on an OEM strap 😉 The offset crown and small seconds used to be a theme for Chopard for a while 👍🏻
The combination really works IMHO 😊👍🏻
Not in the classical elegant sense but in a slightly more avant-garde way 🙌🏻
Fantastic. Much love for that one ! 😀👍
I've wondered in the past - does the uber high beat come with a shorter maintenance cycle?
That's great ! 👍
A short maintenance cycle was what kept me from pulling the trigger when it came out. Ha, shoulda just shot from the hip ! : )
I guess it depends on your usage 🤷🏻♂️
With more than 5 watches in the collection (😉), the time the watch is wound and running is not that high. And I guess it’s designed for the additional frequency. They can still be found - the watch is certainly an acquired taste, so they did not all disap...
Beautiful Dial ❤️
Do you have other straps for it? A Light Gray to Match the Dial with red stitching and red underside would change it big time.
