PuristSPro Purity Prize winner
Glad you were plase to see the classic Lunar One again.
This watch is on the wrists of both Mr Karl Scheufele III and Mr Karl-Friedrich Scheufele as their personal timepieces,even though they test al the prototypes. They were particularly proud of this model even before winning the PuristSPro Purity Prize (PPP).
The award is a crowning recognition for the five proprietary movements developed by Chopard Manufacture within 10 years, and above all for the “technical and aesthetic excellence” of the L.U.C Lunar One, a perpetual calendar with complete moon-phase display launched in 2005.

After the award, Chopard stunned us all at Baselworld 2010 with another 4 proprietary movements in one go! Do we have to award them another 'Tommy' now?

Baselworld 2010: Chopard LUC
Although Chopard LUC thrilled us with a useful complication in 2009 – Lunar Big Date – we all knew that they were saving their best novelties for 2010 because this is their 150th anniversary year. We were not disappointed. Chopard LUC brought out 4 (count...
Caliber
Clearly the firts caliber picture shown of the L.U.C 1937 model, is of the Chopard Chrono-One. Is it?
No
The new caliber has the same rotor as the Chrono-One, but it is a different caliber A
Question was about the photo used
aaron, bon92 was asking about the photo used in the report, slotted in between the 1937 watch and the LUC 1.10 automatic movement. The oblique angle makes identification tough. The photo was to illustrate the appreciation of movements LUC produced since P...
Oh I see
you moved the pictures, so bon92 and I were in complete disagreement, and both right A
seems they have finally got their act together!!
never been impressed with chopard...despite the best efforts of several freinds. came close during a AD sale last year, but still no cigar...but with these!!!! impressive...love the EOT and the tech series tourbillon. thks MTF
Those
friends of yours don;t know jack..one of them at least... I think its high time for a LUC for you...
Very nice! The All in One is altogether very surprising and impressive!
The other pieces show out of the box thinking, very nice! Thanks, MTF, and congratulations again, Chopard. TM
Thank you MTF!
Beautiful timepieces! I am probably what you consider a "Young Turk" who would like the LUC Engine One Tourbillon. And you are correct, I do like it, and it sure does look like something that belongs under the bonnet of a car. I am very intrigued by the n...
Although it looked good on first impressions, the All -In-One
is looking better each time I see it. Very well done again LUC. MTF, The group shot AFTER the Animal Collection, what is the skeleton like piece o the left of the All-In-One? Looks like some sort of tourbillon? Thanks for the coverage.
Special engraved tourbillon
arthur, You spotted a special piece: highly engraved LUC tourbillon. I think the engraving technique is more ornate than the usual bas-relief (low relief) fund on watches. If it is not a piece unique, not many examples exist. Regards, MTF
Thanks MTF. Any where to find more info on it?
and whether it is s current model and is it being produced for sale? Thanks again in advance.
Time to go to your friendly neighbourhood Chopard boutique
and wavethe PuristSPro photo printout It was shown at Baselworld so it is current. Don't bother with regular stores as I am sur it is a special model..... Unless your regular store has a ver good relationship with Chopard LUC??? Regards, MTF
