Complications
Emmanuel, known as quattro on WatchProSite, offers a compelling hands-on review of the Chopard L.U.C Lunar One's latest iteration. His detailed examination highlights the significant design evolution of this perpetual calendar, moonphase, and big date complication, making a strong case for its position as a standout piece in Chopard's L.U.C collection. This article delves into why this 20th-anniversary model, with its refined aesthetics and horological precision, warrants serious consideration from collectors.
Platinum, 100 pieces.
masters the art of making large cases surprisingly wearable (like the beautiful regulator, which is also 43 mm). But 43 mm is still on the large side and 40,5 feels more comfortable.
Sadly, I believe it will remain another overlooked gem from L.U.C., considered only by those who know what wonderful and authentic watchmaking Chopard is doing under Scheufele's leadership... Sincerely, Emmanuel
It appears the small details on the dial are more cohesive with the latest Lunar One, particularly the spacing of the text. Less audacious, but better for it. For a watch of this level, it makes sense to have the Chronometer designation on the caseback instead of the dial.
That said, I know by experience that a 43 mm Chopard wears much better on the wrist than one would think. This regulator is a good example. But I still think that 43 mm is too large and regret that it took them so long to come back to smaller cases. Best, Emmanuel
The only thing I liked better is the Dauphine-fusée hands of the 2nd gen with a U-shaped base part: I prefer this design to the new one with a V-shaped base part. Best, Emmanuel
