Let me say, Robin
that I've had a peak at this one in the metal, and it is even better than the press images. The enamel is immediately noticeable, and quite elegant. The Roman numerals are very bold - more so than on other Chopard dials, and quite black, I think you will be pleased. There is sensual quality to enamel, as you know, that is so very satisfying.
Best,

Enamel dial, enamel hour markers, manual movement, nice design.

... a Swiss bank. And yet I have to say that I should have unveiled what was covered by the accessory hint. I was really close to thinking of a new Quattro. However, when I thought of a 1963 Tourbillon with wonderful Grand Feu dial, I forced myself to let...
The most beautiful LUC
I think that this is an exquisite artisan work that exudes refinement and sophistication. KFS and his team have achieved something outstanding. Bravo!!
Fnally, I can get ths off my chest...
This is now My Favourite Watch. We've been asking for Chopard black Grand Feu enamel numerals on white Grand Feu enamel dial for years. The Quattro barrel and long power reserve was requested. The new LUC curvaceous case with brushed finish and Arena case...
Pleased to provide an exclusive first live photo!
I can admit that like MTF I am a bit obsessed with this one, too. What first caught my eye about this new enamel dial is simply how bold, and glossy, the Roman numerals are. It's quite sensual, and quite nice. I have not had an opportunity to loupe the to...
How did the casing feel?
How does the intention feel that was expressed on one of the sketches? You can see the difference on the pictures. Did you have any memories of a pocket watch?
Yes, like the other L.U.C 1963 watches from Chopard
the case of this new 1963 Tourbillon is indeed reminiscent of a pocket watch in shape and feel, similar to the cases of 1963 Chronometer or the 1963 Chronograph (pictured below, where you might better see the curve of the case). And then there is the trib...
