Thanks a lot, M4!
It’s a very interesting brand IMHO. One of the largest independent ones, with a great long term dedication behind it. They are investing in many areas that don’t make investors happy but build a brand - such as ethical gold, in-house movements (from a time only two hander to a minute repeater), excellent service (none of mine took more than a month from bringing it in, via quote to being delivered fully serviced)...
They still fly under the radar, though but it’s not for lack of merit.
Chopard LUC Chrono One - or the truly versatile one
The watch was what brought me to Puristspro in the first place, got me exposed to the first Vladding and remains one of the most frequently worn pieces after more than four years of ownership - the sole wrist hogger phase long gone due to further successf...
Excellent watch and summary.
I don't know the Chopard brand too well, but of what I do know know this watch is my favorite. Nice photos. Thanks for posting. M4

An automatic choice
KMII, I remember your first Chopard watch and appearance here. Of course, I passed on the launch gold model of that first automatic chronograph movement made by L.U.C because I could not read the open-work dial. Later, when they trialed your steel series ...
Thanks for being the early encourager :)
The opinion was universal to go for it and I haven’t regretted it for a second. And while you missed the LUC Chrono One you created another - the Puristspro Edition of the LUC 1963 Chronograph
Love your strap for Chrono One!
Whenever you show it here, I almost start drooling..... That is a great watch...... Ken
Thanks a lot Ken!
The strap is from Chopard and I am very happy with it. Their custom straps are really nice and get made fairly quickly for a watch manufacturer - two weeks or so from order to delivery with the express service
Great looking watch my friend .
Also love the grey strap , beautiful combo 👌🏻. It will be in good hands after a few years 🙏🏻. What more can a PuristS want then to give some of his watches to the next generation 🤗.
You are fully right, Watchonthewrist :)
Enjoying them for some years more would be nice, though
Glad you like it :)
It was the watch that got me here and my first ‘nice’ mechanical watch. I have never regretted it Little did I, or my wife then know where this would develop towards
