Thanks Chopard
We are just back from a long weekend to Malaysia and the first thing I do back at home (Singapore for now) is checking the forum and yes the pictures are posted. My wife and I were very pleased to be invited on this wonderful evening and our thanks goes to Chopard and Mr Kong who invited us to this event.
I had to admit to Mr Patrick that my Pro-one, although one of the best dive watches produces, had never seen water. So I had to plan a trip to Malaysia and tested the watch in its natural environment (pictures later). No wonder it survived miraculously.
Regards Wim and Bianca

Kong, I'm hungry again!
for both watches and food! Yummy-licious would aptly describe the evening. Thanks again PuristS, Chopard and Sincere!
Personally, I like the new GMT Pro One... and I have been a fan of the Pro One and had a
good chance to engage in insightful conversation with Wim who I was sitting next to! I enjoyed this event very much and was happy to be able to have a chance to invite my friend and his wife to the event! Thank you Chopard, Sincere and Kong for the wonder...

Hi Kong, Many thanks for the invite. My friend and I did enjoy ourselves very much. We met a lot of new friends who are also interested in watch appreciation and learnt new knowledge of and angle at this brand. Among all watches displaying there, I especi...
Thanks for the pics, Stefan...
The HP takes quite decent pics at those lighting. Glad that Jeffery and you enjoyed the event. One of the best things in the PuristS gathering, you will get to meet people. We learned from one another. Which dial of XP you 'dreaming'? I like the Black dia...
grey dial?
Hi Kong, I would like the "grey" (do I correctly desribe the color?) dial of XP. This color is very special one. Talked to Patrick during the dinner, he said he likes that color too. Stefan
Its also correct :-) ...to be exact...
Hi Stefan It is called Slate-grey. The spec is on this page : chopard.watchprosite.com And some real pics to tease you Kong L.U.C has 4 dial designs for Extra-Plate (XP) The Slate-Grey Dial & RG, latest by dial design by L.U.C... launched during Basel 200...
really tempting!
Thanks Kong for correcting me. Yes, it is really tempting to me! I would aim to get either this or JLC master ultra thin with sub-dial (in 2008 SIHH) for my next watch : > Cheers, Stefan
More photo temptation
Dr Ma, We are biased here. Despite JLC being a respectable watch, the thoroughbred Chopard L.U.C. and family passion wins! Do the right thing! Be the right stuff! MTF...
That's awesome that practically all the current production pieces were present
Chopard really sure knows how to throw a great event, and great job in spreading the passion of Chopard! Cheers, Anthony
Yes, nearly all the L.U.C...
Except those unique pieces which were grabbed during Basel. Heard there could be a piece coming over....we shall see. The best part, the PuristS present, could see and try every piece. After which they can compare notes among themselves on the spot! This ...
Chopard gifts
Hi all, These 2 gifts were kindly given in the dinner: (Pic 1) to everyone who were attending the dinner and (Pics 2 and 3) only given to our winning table for the quiz! Cheers, Stefan...
Thanks for the great evening...
Thanks to Chopard LUC, Sincere and The Purists, and last but not least Kong for giving me the opportunity to learn more about LUC watches. It was indeed a rare treat to be able to handle almost the entire range of LUC watches. The new renditions of Chrono...
Kong, it appears to be a first class event.
Good ambience, good company, good food and of course lots of good watches. Ahh, the test. We don't get the change to test our knowledge here in Malaysia. May be Patrick does not want us to feel embarrassed. Regards Ling
I was poison at the event.....
Hi Kong, Thank you for the invitation...my wife and I had a great time! Good food and great company. I had the pleasure of meeting the Chopard team - Maxime, Patrick, Julien, Charlotte; Winston, Odd and Ju Lee. There were many nice Chopards at the event, ...
Welcome to our Chopard Forum RL...
Congrats to your first L.U.C! ( we prefer to say L.U.C for this Chopard's high-horology line ) Glad both Allison & you enjoyed yourselves. Please tell us your impression after wearing it for week and some pics too Thanks. Kong
Huzzar !
RL, So glad that you embarked on your journey with Chopard L.U.C., a true manufacture watch. Irrespective of how various brands want to re-define "Manufacture", with a L.U.C., there are no "if-s and but-s"; it is a "thoroughbred" watch.........Level 1. Th...
May the Force Bee with you
Hi MTF! The hand engraved LUCs are very nice... will put that on my shopping list RL
Kong, thanks for sharing. Looks like every one had a great time!
Like what Ling has said, maybe there should be also a quiza for the MY purists. It will be more fun and interactive then. Excellent food, excellent company and excellent watches........... what more can you ask for?!
Outstanding
My wife and myself were totally impressed with the event. The organisation, food and the collection of watches were outstanding. Special thanks to Julien for the invitation, it was definitely an entertainging evening. The passion and intensity of Maxime a...
Do u know...
the way u put black strips over the eyes made u look like a criminal? But then somebody put your full face bigger picture down below. Accept it: U R FAMOUS! cen@jkt
Cen, you are funny!
Prefer to be behind the scene :-p It will be fun to have you with us. Kong
Yes black strips over eyes are so retro
so commonly found in crime mags in the past.....but I like the black dial XP in WG. That one looks great on any wrist. Many thanks to Chopard Asia and Sincere for the post-Basel event. Enjoyed the evening with Maxime, Patrick and the Chapord staff in atte...
Actual watch is much better than view on the net
At first, thanks Chopard and Kong for the inviation. It was a great evening with all the LUC 2008 novelties and many good friends around, of course the great food and wines too. once discovers that the actual watches are much impress as compare to the pic...

Thanks Wim. Pretty good shot. Slightly after dusk and a night shot. Surprised after a few drinks ...still have good images. Did you or Bianca take them? Oh....smart man...know how to use the black strip Kong
A spectacular event once again!
Thanks to Kong and the Chopard team for putting this together. It was a very enjoyable event. I have never seen so many real watches available in a single brand event. Chopard is truly generous. And the quiz session is really fun and educational. Best reg...
