Chopard

Though the initial manufacturing run is spoken for,

 

I believe there may be still some of the 50 available, based on a post yesterday from MTF, and it may still be possible to reserve one through PuristSPro if you have interest.  If you PM MTF, I'm sure he can help you with this (and with price).


Best,

Hi, I've a little issue setting the hands on my LUC watch. After setting the hands to the right time, when I push the crown back to the first position the minute hand always seem to move forward. Tried this many times to get the minute hand right and this...  

Yeah

Precision and a solution

YM Welcome to our forum. What you described is well known and already discussed about 10 years ago. LUC movements were designed to be very precise and ALL watches with seconds hand are subjected to COSC testing. The pinions (gears) have tooth profiles and...

Welcome back! Next, please give MTFs solution a try and let us know if you are able to make it work. I will say my own experience mirrored yours, but I did realize I was applying a forward bias as MTF suggested, and I don't have the issue anymore. Lastly,... 

Thanks again

Thanks MTF for the proposed solution, I've also sort of figured a similiar solution with a gentler push back of the crown but thought there could be a simpler solution....:) The discussion on this issue 10 yrs back probably got missed out by myself becaus... 

Isn't this already sold out?

Isn't this already sold out CaliforniaJed ? I guess I'd need to sort out a loan if available...:p

The first batch made has gone to PuristS in USA and EU before Christmas. The 2nd batch made will also be for PuristS and after that production for the boutiques. CHF 28,000 in your home currency with local sales tax already included. Only from official Ch... 

No boutiques in the country

Hi MTF, the nearest would be in probably singapore or Malaysia since there's none in Australia. Price wise quite a fair bit over my budget, hopefully I can get the chance to own one in the way future.... Cheers James
