L.U.C 1963 Chrono in the Wild

Dear forumners,

During my sojourn "offline" in the wild, I intermittently get connected.

I trekked and tracked a wee, timorous black beastie yesterday amongst the foliage…..

In the dappled sunlight and peeking coyly amongst the tropical ferns was a veritable masterpiece from the House of Chopard.

Its in-house manual-wind precision flyback chronograph movement was quite at home in the heat and humidity.

Put away any thought that this is a "safe queen". Obviously, you wouldn't go scuba diving with it but for regular 35 degree C heat and 90% humidity conditions on land, it seems OK

Next, it had moved on to even more lush flora in these "Elephant Ear" plants. 

Well, I can clearly see why they got that 'monicker'...

The cool waters of a limpid pool brought sweet relief from the searing heat even if it only played out in my mind.

I'm sure the Flame trees also brought their shade into the equation of a place of great peace, where one could contemplate Time and Life....

Finally, I stalked the black beauty into it's natural environment of glitter and sparkle, where it's restrained steel case only highlighted the usual precious gold in the background that normal L.U.C watches are encased in.

Do you like my newly acquired tan?

If you could set the scene, where else would you hope to see this watch?

Regards,
