Chopard

I became a Chopard enthusiast about 10 years ago. I was in Singapore and saw an advert for the upcoming Steel Wings skeleton tourbillon. I was astonished by the cutting edge visual design. So smitten that I ordered one of the limited edition of 5 pieces. ...  

Very nice! I have a question about the 3 week/4 sec accuracy. For the 3 weeks, how often was it worn? Daily? Also, Do indulge us with a few 'On the wrist' shots...if you can.. Merv

I wore and am wearing it for it for about 12hrs/day, then leave it, dial up (for no reason) overnight. I am pleased that you like it. All the best

Performance as you have?

look forward to seeing you next time we have a london meal. if you were there the other week my invite went to my old email address or i would have been there. best G

for its orginial shape and unusual technical features. I'm not a Chopard guy, even if the L.U.C. familly seems very well finished and designed. But I still remember when this 8Hz was presented, I was really curious to learn more about this watch. I would ... 

I agree that the 8HF could be the work of an indie, perhaps that's what appealed to me. I believe that KFS studied Art at university. When I met him I was certain that he was a really creative guy who would always try to give his products an 'edge'. No co... 

All your passion for your new addition perspires in every word. A watch to acknowledge and to appreciate for sure,its performance is quite something. I must say its look is very captivating too. Luc watches are too underrated if you ask me,I think the ove... 

I would prefer the dial without the date window. Regards Ling

Really cool watch that highlights Chopard´s commitment to chronometry and excellence. Needless to say, the fact that you have a friendship with Mr. KFS makes this watch even more special and personal. Enjoy it profoundly, and please share more pictures or... 

Hey Ant, Nice one. I've been eyeing it as well. Glad it lived up to your expectations. Op

Thanks for your replies. When the daylight returns (remember I'm in UK) I will take some more pics. It is a fascinating design. The combination of a hi-tech mechanism and a post modern design (that doesn't look like Apple ) but which is still refined is v... 

Hey Antony, Agree on all your points but I think the issue is the lack of an iconic design. Granted it is far easier said than done. But chopard doesn't have a royal oak, calatrava, patrimony, santos, reverso, , that is entirely associated with the brand.... 

Hi Phillip, I think that you have put your finger on what is missing from Chopard. They have made so many beautiful designs (with fab mechs, cases, dials and hands) but somehow there isn't a Chopard 'look' or clear Chopard design identity. I am going on a... 

To most people, Chopard = Happy Diamonds / Happy Sport series of quartz watches. I am sure this line provides healthy business for Chopard, But this overshadows the better 'horological' things that Chopard does, and deserves more credit for.

Im the delighted owner of the L.U.C 8hz number 75 out of 100. Bought it in Abu Dhabi. the piece is superbe, I have only one concern: not sure they delivered me the matching box... Could someone provide with a snapshot of the box so that I can compare? tha... 

Unfortunately there is no special box for the 8HF. I got mine with the brown wooden L.U.C Box, too, same as XP Skeletec. The box is nice, but doesn't fit at all to the 8 HF. The boutique told me that there are many complaints so that there might come a sp... 

this is really disappointing from Chopard. I hope they make it up to us.
