L.U.C. XP Skeletec

Hi,
Just wanted
to share three shots of the Limited Edition L.U.C. XP Skeletec.
288 pieces
in Rose Gold.
This is the
first skeletonized caliber made by Chopard, ultrathin L.U.C Caliber 96.17-S.
The
movement is 3.3 mm and the case 6.98 mm think. Case is 39.50 mm in diameter.
Sorry for
the plastic… I don’t want to rob the lucky future owner of the joy to remove
it!
Best
Blomman

blomman, Thank you for coming back in style! The current Mrs MTF likes skeletonised movements but we have never seen this Chopard Skeletec watch. I'm intrigued by the choice of limited edition number set at 288. The two 'golden' orbs at position 2 and 10,...
Thanks for posting this, Blomman.

I've wanted to see the Skeletec in the metal since Mkt33's post a couple of years ago: amp;fi=5&pi=5825668&ti=857263&msid=&s= The circular motif in the Cal. 96.17-S is interesting and not one I have noticed in other examples of skeletal mo...

Stopped by the boutique and took a couple more Skeletec Photos

I made a visit to the boutique yesterday and found a Skeletec to look at in the metal after seeing your post, Blomman. I enjoyed it even more in the metal. Seeing the light shine through the dial side of the movement added a new perspective that I enjoyed...
Great shots, CJ! :)

The two I missed to take. Really good looking with the see-through! :) Best Blomman
Not convinced by this one.

I find that the skeletonized area is visually too limited by the solid peripheral ring. It is not very convincing IMHO. Thanks Blomman! Fx
I see your point
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 22nd, 2015-02:07
For a skeleton it is a limited area that is open. Nothing that really bothered me when I tried it... Now that you mention it... One thing that I find positive with the solid area is that it makes it easier to read time. Best Blomman
