L.U.C 1963 Tourbillon The purest expression of Chopard haute horlogerie When Chopard pay s tribute to watchmaking excellence, it does so in the finest possible way. Joining the proud lineage of L.U.C 1963 and L.U.C 1963 Chronograph watches, the L.U.C 1963...
The enamel dial and movement
look gorgeous from these marketing pics! Can't wait to see some live pics. I'm sure they will look even nicer! Thanks for the post CaliforniaJed Cheers Robin
Let me say, Robin
that I've had a peak at this one in the metal, and it is even better than the press images. The enamel is immediately noticeable, and quite elegant. The Roman numerals are very bold - more so than on other Chopard dials, and quite black, I think you will ...

How did the casing feel?
How does the intention feel that was expressed on one of the sketches? You can see the difference on the pictures. Did you have any memories of a pocket watch?
Yes, like the other L.U.C 1963 watches from Chopard
