Chopard

Ever since L.U.C "Extra-plate" which also known as L.U.C XP was launched in 2006, and proudly won the first prize in the ultra-thin watch category in the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix the same year, it has evolved too. Beginning with straight-forward minu...  

I agree that a full skeletonised dial will look much better than the half/part skeletonised dial. Piaget, Harry Winston, AP and of course VC can be good references. In fact, the irreguler cut out at 3H and 4H looks like an "ear". If Chopard makes another ...

and let us know your inputs. Kong
