It's such a validation of the vision KFS had for the brand waaaay back when he launched L.U.C as a manufacture. I hope this doesn't come across as vanity, but iit validates my own taste, too. When I first fell in love with the 16/1860/1, and I was...
But the answer is no, I really enjoy them both. I prefer the case of the 16/1860/1, the lugs in particular, and I am delighted by the hinged caseback and its hand-engraved beehive. I prefer the dial of the Revolution Edition, both color and absence...
It's a handsome one and I would not be surprised if Chopard finds a way to reintroduce it to their current collection at some point. Cheers, my friend. Jed
I got to see the new blue dial 1860 last week, too. It's a stunning piece. With 3 watches sharing this movement in my collection, though, I am going to have to resist the temptation to add a 4th! Cheers, Jed
Yes, I am quite fortunate to be the keeper of both of these, each a cherished bookend in my Chopard collection. We'll see where it goes from here! Cheers, Jed
