Hi, I've a little issue setting the hands on my LUC watch. After setting the hands to the right time, when I push the crown back to the first position the minute hand always seem to move forward. Tried this many times to get the minute hand right and this...  

Yes. It is a sort of famous issue of the LUC movement.

YM Welcome to our forum. What you described is well known and already discussed about 10 years ago. LUC movements were designed to be very precise and ALL watches with seconds hand are subjected to COSC testing. The pinions (gears) have tooth profiles and... 

Welcome back! Next, please give MTFs solution a try and let us know if you are able to make it work. I will say my own experience mirrored yours, but I did realize I was applying a forward bias as MTF suggested, and I don't have the issue anymore. Lastly,...

This case is forged, Stainless Steel! :-) Best, CaliforniaJed ...  

Isn't this already sold out CaliforniaJed ? I guess I'd need to sort out a loan if available...:p

I believe there may be still some of the 50 available, based on a post yesterday from MTF, and it may still be possible to reserve one through PuristSPro if you have interest. If you PM MTF, I'm sure he can help you with this (and with price). Best, Calif... 

The first batch made has gone to PuristS in USA and EU before Christmas. The 2nd batch made will also be for PuristS and after that production for the boutiques. CHF 28,000 in your home currency with local sales tax already included. Only from official Ch... 

Hi MTF, the nearest would be in probably singapore or Malaysia since there's none in Australia. Price wise quite a fair bit over my budget, hopefully I can get the chance to own one in the way future.... Cheers James

James, For Australian PuristS, the order can be through PuristSPro as we have been provided with the Chopard "order form". Delivery will be through Chopard channels and they will sort out the logistics. Hope that helps. Regards, MTF
