I wear this watch almost exclusively in the summer, but decided to wear it today.



In good company

This would be a year-round wearer for me.  I saw this piece once about 2 years ago.  I loved it in person.  I wear a gray dial watch several days per week at a minimum.  Which makes my other pieces jealous!

But I just like wearing the L.U.C much more... 🤷🏽‍♂️
I guess it's just my preference for dress watches...
That said, I enjoy wearing it during summer!

You have both ends of the horological spectrum covered

grey dial, but I like wearing the L.U.C with its enamel dial so much more...

It’s a nice sports watch - I am not a huge fan of integrated bracelets as a concept but this is definitely well made. And this time KFS did not need to drop it into the bucket of ice to demonstrate its water resistance like with the predecessor many moons ago 😁

compared to the 50m of a Royal Oak!

I’m glad it also brings joy when you wear it.

can fit my wrist so well...

but didn’t feel attracted. A few months later I tried on this grey one and I really liked it…

For me, the jump hour is the fantastic watch... ;-)

I actually like the standard Alpine Eagle more than I like my Salmon dial variant. I even like the date!

The salmon dial is a little hard to match. I feel I can only wear it in the summer - with summer clothes (think pastel colored linen shirts). I feel if I had the gray or the blue dial, I'd wear my watch more often and derive even more pleasure from it. True, I really do like the 96-series LUC movement more than the standard movement found in the gray/blue dial. But aesthetically, the gray or blue dial variant is superior in my eyes to the salmon dial variant. Also - a sports watch should have a central seconds hand - the seconds sub-dial is better off on a more elegant watch.

In this interview of Karl-Fritz Scheufele, I was surprised to hear him express his preference for the grey dial AE41: https://youtu.be/GC-MQkXnxzQ?is=ftWXcdZUT-DfunxD

I have no doubt about the father's taste (Karl-Friedrich), but I know the son (Karl-Fritz) less and I was mentioning this interview:

I meant Karl Friedrich. When I met Karl-Fritz, he was still a little boy holding his teddy bear! And I haven't met Karl-Fritz since. But I have a feeling that both of them have superb taste!

Do you swim with it too?

Thank you.

The grey dial just works so well against the case and bracelet and whilst I get the fact it makes for a great summer watch you really can enjoy this beauty anytime IMO.
