Baselworld 2016: CHOPARD L.U.C 1860 XPS Steel case revealed

Fellow PuristS,

Recently, we announced the L.U.C XPS 1860 Geneva Seal in rose gold case to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first L.U.C 1860 watch.

For many years, many of you declared the desirability of any steel L.U.C XPS with a L.U.C movement. 
Well, your prayers have been answered:  L.U.C 1860 XPS steel case in unlimited production.

Our PuristS' Dreams have come true after 10 years of asking since the original L.U.C XPS was launched in 2006.
"Rules" can change.
White metal does not have to be gold.
Respect the past but Look to the future...
Don't look back...Look forward.

Yet do much less, so much less, Someone says,
(I know his name, no matter)—so much less!
Well, less is more, Lucrezia: I am judged.

-- Robert Browning; “The Faultless Painter” (1855)
