Lovely quartet!! Two questions...

(1) What's the model Cartier called? I really like it.

(2) I wondered this back when Revolution announced its limited edition. Do you think the folks at both Chopard and Revolution/Rake didn't realize that Chopard had already made this particular L.U.C. 1860/2, with a WG case, salmon dial, and salmon (vs. black-on-white) date disc? I was confused about that when I read about its launch. The person at Revolution/Rake wrote this:

  “My proposal,” I explained, “is to remake an additional 10 of these watches, in my favourite colour combination of a white gold case with a salmon dial. If I could ask for one small change it would be for the date wheel to also be in salmon to create a more integrated look and also to easily distinguish our limited edition at a glance. Let’s create a club of L.U.C aficionados and devotees. We can select who we allocate each of 10 watches to and we will code name ourselves the Lucky L.U.C Club and meet once a year to share in conviviality, good cheer, amusing anecdotes and a perhaps some half-decent wine.” I looked at Karl-Friedrich to gauge his response. He smiled and nodded his head and said: “I like this idea very much.”

It seems like they thought the prior version was WG/salmon dial but with black-on-white date discs.
