Might as well go crazy and pick the last one!
But I have heard from knowledgeable collectors that the platinum sounds the best. Which would be very surprising for a traditional repeater but here the sound comes from the crystal and somehow the higher density helps.
Chopard LUC Full Strike Platinum Steel and Sapphire.
From left to right: Superlatively crazy and impressive. Technically and aesthetically. Which is your fav? Best, Nicolas ...
I really like and admire most LUC Chopard watches.
For me of the three the one in the centre is my favourite as I am really attracted to grey dialled watches and if I'm being honest although it is technically brilliant my least favourite is the sapphire version as it just does not have the same appeal for...
having heard LUC-Patek-FPJourne on same time...
I think the clarity of LUC chime remains on top...with the Crystal gongs the sound remains 'crystal clear' ;-) having said that, Patek is pleasing as an overall package. Best, mahesh.,
I like the monochrome look of the steel here.
And the weight is probably nicer than platinum for such a watch, which isn’t small. Also, I’ve had the chance to handle the carburised steel variant and it’s really nice in real life.
If not for the Roman numerals, I would go steel as the grey tones are much to my liking.
However, Roman numerals just don't work for me, so in this case the skeletonized sapphire would be my choice. The movement is truly a feast for the eyes! Thanks for sharing. M4

Ah, interesting!
I have only experienced the rose gold (tourbillion one) and it sounded amazing.
I find them impressive!
The sound quality is very good; great speed/pace/tempo, good tonality, and relatively high volume; all desirable attributes. But somehow, I just don't like the design. The titanium JLC Master Minute Repeater with skeleton dial looks more attractive in my ...
I prefer the sliding trigger.
The button activation is much more complex and requires winding of the crown (backwards usually) when the sliding trigger is self powered (by the motion of sliding the trigger itself).
A bit fussy here...
1 for case (PT) 2 for dial (greyish) 3 for strap Or just No. 2 if they are not interchangeable 😄
