Imagining how it would look like..
If it had the romans from the wps edition instead of minute markers. This way, the dial would not look as big and the 42mm would work better even if a slightly smaller case is preferred.
Also, for a dressy case like that, having minute markers might make it too casual? Leave the minute markers to the AirKing :-p
Watches and Wonders 2023: Hands on Review on the Chopard LUC 1963 Heritage Chronograph.
The LUC 1963 Heritage Chronograph certainly looks familiar to many of our dear members and / or readers, here. Indeed, in 2014, the PuristS Team worked in collaboration with Chopard on a project, a manual winding, no date, chronograph. in a decent size, i...
Fantastic watch!
I think I'm okay with the case size being so big. Dial looks mostly proportionate. That movement is gorgeous! Just a gorgeous movement! Bravo! The crown is also unusually large!
Sadly, it won't sell well...
LUC is just not as well known as the big brands like Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. Breguet doesn't even sell well these days.
I would prefer 40mm...

I never prefer their Roman numerals on their LUC so this is better imho....
Also, this version has both hacking seconds as well as zero-reset. First need to pull the crown (hack) and depress the 4 o'clock button. I supposed it's the same for the Purist version or it's an upgraded movement? PS: I was told one of the previous WPS o...
Great watch…
…like the Purists Edition. And don’t forget the gold version of the 1963 Chrono which was issued together with the Purists Edition, also limited to 50 pieces. This one has a date indicator - which some don’t like for esthatical reasons - but I really appr...
Huge fan of these.
While I've never held one, the movements seem to have a glorious glow to them. if I was lucky enough to get my hands one of these 25, I might ask Chopard to add the beehive near the crown on the back a la the Purists edition (a lovely detail). Wonderful p...
Thank you for the excellent review
For me, Chopard has improved its designs over the years, which is very evident here. I greatly appreciate the simple Arabics and consistency in the font. The proportions are fine. For my own use, I'd prefer a slightly smaller diameter. The Chrono One (ver...
