Wow...this opened my eyes to the refinement of lacquer dials when done exceptionally well

The quality applied to the Roger dubuis and luc dials are so sharp and glossy. I would have thought enamel unless told otherwise! I have a Girard Perregaux 4930, but I don't find the black lacquer of the dial to be finished as smoothly as the examples you

Lacquer Dial Details

With all the attention given to grand feu enamel dials, I sometimes wonder if we undervalue really well done lacquer dial decoration. This Roger Dubuis Sympathie S34 is a case in point. Note the creamy tone, the smooth texture, and the subtle gleam. Consi

Chopard LUC 1963 Chronometer. Another wrist shot.

Very valuable insight Emmanuel...

I forgot about the guilloche difference on the dial of the new 1860. Another point about the guilloche is also that one can appreciate it has a deeper cut into the gold dial. Amazing 3d effect from that too. My initial hesitation was the price of the luce

Hoping to complete the trio one day...

I just fell in love with the Mark 1 quattro when I saw a video by Tim Mosso. And shortly after ...the 8200. I'm now torn between the 16 1860/2 or the new lucent steel versions . Honestly...I can't wait to have a trio representing the pillars of LUC. Till

I want to like these L.U.C XPS, Kevin . . .

But I feel it all about compromise. They produce these in a 40mm case diameter to try and find a middle ground. I would prefer approximately 38mm and with some effort to have the lugs curve downward: I actually prefer their L.U.C Qualité Fleurier. But thi

I like a lot of chopard watches

For me, I cannot understand the excessive love for these XPS. The seconds dial is way too high up, almost touching the center of the dial 🤷‍♂️ if it were lower (ie make a bigger movement since this is not the problem of the case being too large) these wou
