TWM: Will we see a minute repeater watch in the L.U.C collection? KFS: Well, 2016 will be the 20th anniversary of the new L.U.C. Manufacturer. So I think it will be the right time to celebrate. 2016 could be an exciting year!!!! Best, CaliforniaJed

Interesting watches from Chopard in future

Or are you a berries and row crops kinda guy? :-) MTF

I had to google what rutabagas is...

... so the cultural reference is totally lost on me. Try Blomman as it's supposed to be a "Swedish" turnip ;-) Best, Echi

Wow! What an interview...

A gentleman's gentleman! I like how the family is really involved. " I really like that countryside where I just can switch off and think of the next L.U.C. watch I want to make. " I enjoyed that reply on many levels! I'll be rereading this interview. Tha... 

That's a great interview because

The questions and answers seem real and not scripted by the PR department. I guess I really do need to get myself a Chopard. I also like KFS\' answer about the cars because it deflects incredulity from the friends as well as criticism from the wife. I onc... 

Great interview!

Very straight forward, very real. I've yet to acquire an LUC but perhaps it should be next. Thank you again, for the great interview Aloha, Bob

Chopard: Real Passion and Real Products for Real People

 
 By: MTF : September 8th, 2014-16:03
At Chopard, "the buck really stops here" with the family. Of course, every brand has a PR department but we find (the current Mrs MTF and me) that Chopard and Scheufele family always stand by their products. I've seen family members taking notes from clie... 

Hey! You're a PuristS

 
 By: MTF : September 8th, 2014-16:08
Make your first LUC watch the LUC 1963 Chrono PuristS Edition It's in steel, which is a PuristS and affordable material for chronographs . The movement is unique to PuristS..... Regards, MTF

Ha, ha, yes, perhaps I will.

When I first joined this forum, I remember Kong suggesting to me that if I buy a Chopard, make it an LUC. Aloha, Bob

Here comes the party political broadcast

 
 By: MTF : September 9th, 2014-15:35
Officially, I have to say that all Chopard watches are the best they can make for the market positioning. That's not just the political broadcast but we (the current Mrs MTF and me) believe it. She has two rules for collecting watches and broke both of th... 

Those two rules are basically in my book as well.

My wife, on the other hand ~ diamonds are good if tastefully done, much like the Happy Diamonds. She doesn't like it encrusted. Quartz or mechanical, she has no preference as long as it looks good and matches her jewelry collection. :-) The LUC PuristS ed...
