Certainly many unique details on this watch.
I quite fancy the hour and minute hands. Very cool.
The date location is a bit of a pity. I suppose having a date with a moonphase is a good thing, but I certainly can see the watch sans date all together. As executed, it is a bit too prominent for my taste.
Thanks for the post Kong.
A Relook Review of the Chopard L.U.C Lunar Twin
L.U.Chopard (L.U.C) Lunar Twin - from the name, would expect something of two/dual. Besides its Twin-barrel technology, it is able to display the moonphase for both Northern and Southern Hemispheres at the same time. It may not be unique for year 2014, wi...
To quote the Nicolas mantra ...
"Never place a date where it compromises the design! --- well, never place a date anywhere ..." The unusual placement of the moon phase at 1 is a very nice design twist, but even I as a lover of date windows consider the location of the date at 4 as a mis...
Always wish ...
the date is not there, as many cannot read it, including me without the spectacles. However, the market seems to want it. Have to agree with you, if can be moved into the small second will be balanced. Thanks for viewing, Marcus. Kong
Chopard date window position
Marcus, The new Chopard date window position is at or near the 4 o'clock. In the Chopard LUC Lunar Twin, the date position does balance the brand logo at 10 o'clock and the lunar display at 1 o'clock does the same with the 'large' seconds sub dial at 6 o'...

Moonphase without date ...
seems to be weird, like lacking of something. However, the date is really like an 'interrupt' . Wonder if the date window moved to 9H, will it work? May be inconvenient for those who are wearing long sleeve with cuff... will need to stretch the hand more ...
It's nice!
It's a nice watch and a great moonphase. Not being critical, but I find the seconds sub-dial to be too big. Plus I always liked Chopard's 1.96 micro rotored movement. But every time I see a Chopard watch, I can't get that L.U.C 1963 watch out of my mind. ...
Not at all ...
Hi Patrick Thanks for your observation. Design wise could be smaller, but aged eyes welcome it to be bigger :-) You are not alone with the L.U.C 1963, it is really handsome, should be evergreen... just short of having the dial in grand feu, now is a lacqu...
