Will oblige as soon as I can 👍🏻
Need to get my family to the French Alps first, though 😂
The one I was looking for for about 7 years…
A long, long time ago - sometime in 2015/6 I put together a top 10 list of watches I want to have one day. One more of those fell into my hands recently - the LUC HF from the original series of 100, with its intriguing 8 Hz movement. As titanium cases and...
Glad you like it, Salman 👍🏻
Been on my wanted list for ages but finding one in Europe has been a challenge. The ceramic successor model in black is a bit more plentiful but I prefer this simpler design without the PR.
I think so, too 😊👍🏻
The dial is another highlight - much nicer live than on the original photos 👌🏻

Very cool congrats.
I seem to remember our old friend KIH posting some pictures of this reference, maybe not this specific iteration, many years ago and I was intrigued. Not as intrigued as you however, as I forgot about it until now! Congratulations!
Indeed he did!
It was the follow up model with a power reserve and a ceramic titanium case (all in black). I liked that one, too but prefer this version without a PR 😊👍🏻
The black version in the London boutique
I casually mentioned I always liked it and they had one hidden away, potentially the last one available in stock. Great piece ...
Interesting…
Maybe London is overdue a visit 😂 They had one in Moscow before we left but that would be a challenge nowadays 🤷🏻♂️
David in the Bond Street boutique is great, he showed me so many amazing pieces
LUC Tourbillon, Quattro Spirit, Perpetuals, several AE's...
It's a real oddball
Like the Engine One, comes out of left field. The case is so unlike all other LUC cases, it looks like a prototype from an engineering factory. The porthole display, all those bolts, strange, but quite appealing. I think the Alpine Eagle probably shows of...
Ah, a fellow Chrono One-ist 😁
The Chrono One has been my first ‘nice’ watch and the entry to this forum here in 2014 😊👍🏻 I agree that the movement (fully transparent case back) and the sweep of the seconds hand is more transparent on the Alpine Eagle. But the heart wants what the hear...
here's mine
I notice neither of us are using the original strap. Mine's from ABP (). What is yours? It looks a bit like the wool strap off an XP, but even fluffier! ...
The MOST eccentric date window put me off when this was new
It looks a bit more mainstream today. Nice catch! Mike
Probably not my favorite aspect of the watch either but with time…
It’s lost its irritations somewhat, I guess 😁👍🏻🤷🏻♂️
Congratulations. I owned and loved the follow up black piece with power reserve.
Your original is even better!
I remember your famous…
Infamous shot of it 😂 Owned means it’s gone to another home? Might recall something of that as well (but my memory is not as strong as it has been 🤷🏻♂️), namely that we might even have been discussing you selling it 😊
