The L.U.C Fantastic Four - Real Pictures of the 2010 Novetlies

 
 By: Kong : May 24th, 2010-10:34
L.U.C since its birth in 1996, has been progressing well, concepted and manufactured five basic movements in the first successful decade (1996 to 2006). This year, Chopard is celebrating its 150th Anniversary, and L.U.C is the focal point to highlight Cho...  

Fantastic Four Indeed!

Kong, what great information and photographs. Thanks so much. Both the Tribute and the Engine One Tourbillon are impressive and I hope to see them some day. The Tribute pocket watch is classically stunning, and the wristwatch cradle looks like it would be... 

Thanks Jed ...

for the kind words and your The Tribute seemed to garner the most interest during the evening. The Engine One Tourbilon is another interesting piece with lots of design details. Hope these Four will travel to USA and you could try them on. Ha! You are not... 

Thanks Tim!

Have you bought your camera? You can shoot even better than me, if you invest time See Jed's pics of the L.U.C 1860-1 ... very nice. Kong

Like them all, but love the...

Glad you liked the newest horological expression Regards, Marcelo

Nice to see such a creativity from Chopard.

3 on 4 for me! The only one I'm not very keen on is the " All in one ", too blingy while a Grande Complication should maybe, in my opinion, be less shiny, at least without jewels, and less thick. But the 3 others... WOW! The Tribute is really amazing, as ... 

Nico, must see & try ...

First of all, fantastic watches. These timepieces are very interesting additions to the Chopard line-up. However, these photographs are AMAZING! The macros of the Tribute movement and Engine Tourbillon timepieces are absolutely incredible photographs. It ... 

Long awaited,but well worth it.

With your hands-on experience, you could relate to the EOT better When I was posting the pictures, I also saw more details designed into the EOT. With the Designer's notes, it helped a lot to understand the design intention better. Glad that your quest fo...

perhaps too much comics, when young What's your feeling and observations for 1937? A portion was missed out when you were typing for the reply-post below Kong

1937...

 
 By: FanFrancisco : May 31st, 2010-08:00
oh yes, forgot to mention 1937. to my mind, few things that i recalled from this watch are: 1. new movement, 1010, 2. slate dial which i always like 3. no long with micro rotor 4. no more swan-neck regulator with all these above, it gives us a different l... 

fantastic indeed

Thanks for the real things, Kong.

 
 By: ling5hk : June 1st, 2010-18:14
Here is my personal view:- The Tribute is the one that I like most. As you said, it would be perfect if the dial is enamel dial. LUC 1937 is simple but elegent. I think it is clever to place the crown at 4 o'clock position. All in One is no doubt a compli... 

Thanks for your comments...

 
 By: Kong : June 5th, 2010-01:59
Hi Ling The EoT is actually an interesting piece, bit avant garde but not overly done. Must see the real piece to have a 'better feel'. As if any of them are subjected to the Fleuritest, none, to what I know, as Chopard will report it. However, whatever i... 

Well, I'm Impressed.
