Question on LUC 1.96 movement
Hi
Just finally joined (partially) the Chopard club by acquiring a Cedric Johner with LUC 1.96 movement. I have been searching 1 at a reasonable price for 6 yrs.
My trilogy of microrotor movements is now complete viz. PP 5110R (cal 240); Anniversary Langematik ( langematik movement) and the Johner. Just 1 question, I notice thru the display back, there was 1 slot in gold/copper colour next to the balnce wheel bridge instead of usual steel screw. I saw the same in stock pic and Walt Odet review pic of LUC 1.96 movement. Would appreciate if someone can explain why this is so. Many thks.

The answers from our L.U.C counterpart : The function is to hold the automatic wheel with ball bearing which is suspended. The golden colour is for cosmetic purpose, it is more attractive and that gives some contrast .
Year of Manufacture
I got a rose gold without papers. The movement is no. 041/1860. Could someone tell me the year of manufacture? And why there are two geneve seals? Thanks

to PuristSPro Chopard forum. You will have to ask Chopard if you have not the papers. With papers, the COSC certificate indicates the date of the calibre tested and certified. So you will know roughly the date of manufacture then. As for the reason for 2 ...

joe_lin, can you post pictures of your 1860? Does it have a hinged hunter back covering the display back movement? If it does, is the number at the 12:00 position on the case back surrounding the display back marked as 1860, or is it marked as 16/1860/1? ...
