Just because I haven’t posted it in so long - the Chopard LUC Chrono One 🏁
The newer iterations may have shorter lugs fitting a wider array of wrists better and the titanium case is lighter for sure but I am still in love with my 2008 Watch of the Year in Japan steel iteration showcasing the first in house chrono movement of Chopard. It has the patina of over a decade, including bite marks from my then teething daughter 🤣🤷🏻♂️ But in this case patina is things experienced with a watch on the wrist. Was the last watch that was in the daily wear category for many months, before more started entering the watch box and made the concept untenable. Still a really fun piece 👍🏻
Was my first ‘serious’ watch - which one was it for you?

That really is a stunning looking Chopard LUC Chrono One.
I really like the history you have described with having this watch as well as it being really beautiful those extra details must make it even more special for you. Enjoy and wear it in good health. Marc
Too kind - glad you like it 😊👍🏻
A somewhat different Chopard from yours but there is a familiar way of approaching horology in both 😊👍🏻
Great looking watch.
I had that same watch also a few years ago : I should have kept it !!
Ah - very interesting 👍🏻
Not many members here with one. I remember Hororgasm had a white gold one but not sure I remember (m)any others 🧐 Could be just me getting old 😂
Somehow the watch did not fit my wrist perfectly.
I guess the pretty long lugs did not help.
lovely one...I like the fact it is a fly back too.
could you be kind to share a pic of the movement too pls ? thank you. Best, mahesh.,
Thank you 🙏🏻
As for movement shots, no fresh ones but here is one from some years ago: www.watchprosite.com
Stunning shot!
I have a soft spot for flybacks and this model was one of the first I got to experience. Sadly a bit too large (and too expensive for me) at the time!
It is not small 😊
The case size not being the main issue but this was made just before Chopard learned to design their lugs in a way that large watches wore well on smaller wrists. When I initially got it both my wife and me thought it would be ‘the watch’ with none others...
Beautiful watch — among many in your collection! 2008!!
And what an interesting question — that being, first serious watch? My early forays included Hamilton and Longines — perhaps more entry level than not? Maybe the watch that most fits the serious definition was my Zenith El Primero MW.
