Chopard

Chopard L.U.C 1860, 16/1860/2 The self-winding movement 1.96 with micro-rotor has a great design and finish. The 36mm diameter is also exquisite. I think this first L.U.C 1860 as a dress watch was a completed watch. However, Calatrava 3796 is also great.....  

It's true. I think WG 1860 is very rare.

You have a stunning collection, and so far this is my favorite. That cursive Chopard script is delicious. I wish it didn't say automatic and was date-less, but those are small point. Please keep posting.

Perhaps Chopard aimed for a complication movement with 1.96 as the base movement, like JL920 and AP2120.

A Calatrava doesn’t come close to it. Congratulations.

Around 1996, when the 1860 was born, the finishing of Cal. 215 of Calatrava 3796 produced was very unfriendly. Patek is not always a great watch.

In my view this is a stunning watch. Love the dial and somehow the hands are perfect Indeed an underrated undervalued time piece

It is the highest movement for a watch equipped with micro rotor. Luxury design, polite finish, classic speed control mechanism, and packaging.

Chopard aimed at a luxurious dress watch that can be used everyday. So equipped with a date. You can also interpret their intentions that way.

the only trouble i've is the 'date' window - i just feel it breaks the symmetry. it is classy watch ! Best, mahesh.,

However, when the date runs out of this watch, it will probably look like an extended dial.
