Hi Mark, my impression ...
1937 belongs to the understated, with a beautiful slate dial.
Love the new details on the case, but would prefer it to be smaller like 39mm instead of 42mm though it wears well.
I prefer less space around the movement, even though I could not see it, with their new caseback.

Chopard L.U.C PuristSPro Evening, Singapore - The Unveiling of the 2010 Novelties
19 May 2010, a strong audience of 40 pax of PuristS attended the yearly Chopard PuristSPro event to preview the 2010 L.U.C Novelties which are also specially created to celebrate Chopard's 150th Anniversary, at the Chopard Singapore Flagship store located...
Thanks Chopard & Puristspro
Great watches & company! The Tribute is v nice! The caseback is just as nice! how about some pics on that?
How do you like it on ...
on your wrist? More pics will be coming soon Glad you enjoyed yourself. Kong
beautiful evening and impressive watches
Thanks Kong for and Chopard for giving us an opportunity to preview these watches. A particular watch that caught my attention was the LUC tribute. At 49.6mm, this watch is with its imposing presence sits pretty well on most small asian wrists. A beautifu...
Thanks Eugene for the observation and suggestion!
It is indeed heavy, and also the strap was a bit long for many of us. The counter-weight idea is logical, hopefully factory would test it. Perhaps would need a 'friction-pad' instead of a polished-surface at the back of the cradle contacting on the skin t...
thanks KONG
thats 1937 is what i was with anticipation, and yet the dials is to tricky under the lights:S . Faisal
Thanks Faisal, and ....

Wow, Impressive Event!
Many thanks to Chopard and Mr. Patrick Normand for hosting this wonderful event. A very impressive event with all of the special watches. This is truly a major milestone year for Chopard. Thank you for the fantastic photos Kong! Photographic chronicling a...
Thanks Patrick ...
A lot of watches are waiting for you here Still not planning a trip here Just posted more pics of the watches. Kong
You are most welcome.
A large amount of watches are indeed waiting for me in Singapore. Even quite a few fountain pens are waiting for me in Singapore. I am truly hoping to visit Singapore sometime soon. I have never been to Singapore and I am sure that I would benefit greatly...
Tks so much Kong, truly enjoyed the article
Although I must say I'm disappointed not to be able to attend due to health issues (minor one, but still...) Looks like the attendance was a bit overwhelming, 40+ guests! There are many admirers of LUC! Loved the pics, esp the wrists shots (I'm esp tickle...
You asked for it !
Hey Forsei Hope you are recovering well. 40 pax is not a lot, just comfortable for me to at least chat and catch up with everyone. The 1937, hmmm..... you may wish to be tempted Becareful ..... chopard.watchprosite.com Kong
Hi Kong...
Tks, I'm much better already...thank goodness. I'm much tempted by the lovely pics and wrist shots...of the 1937. So simple, yet subtly exquisite esp the sunburst pattern....the red second hand raises the pulse rate a little...I like it v much.
Glad to hear you are ...
feeling much better. Wait for the 1937 to come over and check it out! Kong
Thanks for sharing, Kong.
Looks like it was a fun event with some great looking looking pieces.
Thanks Davo ...
Planning a trip here soon? Just posted more of the watch pics for the 2010 Novelties at: chopard.watchprosite.com Kong
Thanks Kong, great shots, really like the experiment with The Tribute
but now I am wondering how it will look on my 7.5" wrist! Thanks for the report, looked like everyone was having a great time. Best, Tim
It should fit your wrist well ...
Hi Tim Only worried about the Asean-wrists... tend to be small, thus the little experiment to check if the Tribute is wearable. Yes, it is always enjoyable with Chopard as host. Just posted more pictures of the watches, may wish to check them out at: chop...
Fantastic as always from LUC
Thanks for the pictures and coverage.... Kong Looks like I missed all the interesting stuff on show...
Why fly?
My friend, knowing a few of you were away .... here are some pics, the best I can do chopard.watchprosite.com Best part, David did not make it too! Kong
Pleasantly surprised by the All-In-One and the Tribute
in terms of how well they wear on the wrist inspite of the size due to the lug design. The all-in-one was also very understated for what it is and despite the diamond bezel I felt. The Engine One was also much nicer in the metal than in pics and the weigh...
Thanks for the comments ...
Arthur. The LunarOne maintains its charm very well. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Kong
Watch dial with print art...... Beautiful !
I like those watches, their dial printed with picture, it likes an art piece. beautiful and uiquie.... available only in Singapore and Swiss. Great that Singapore boutique is able to bring in such pieces for us to viewing. it is recommend to visit the bou...

enjoyable event by Chopard LUC and PuristSPro...
... i am sure all of us who were attending the event enjoyed ourselves very much. as Kong said, there was full Chopard enthusiants attending the event. all of us were so lucky to have first hand to try all these new released great timepieces on our wrist....
Thanks for the comments, Stefan ...
Think for the 1937, your inputs may have been 'truncated' ,perhaps you were typing too fast Will have more pics coming for the 2010 pieces, and yes, the Urushi pieces, they just arrived a day before our event. I've covered it last year, a bit more info fo...
haha... was too sleepy and rushing to bed...
... thanks Kong for the link, missed your previous post on those beautiful Urushi pieces. stefan
Truly enjoyable event!
There was lots of eye candy around, but 3 watches caught my eye that night. L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon - The pictures don't do this watch justice. Much more impressive in the metal as compared to the pictures. It is BEAUTIFUL... And amazingly LIGHT! The ...
Thanks for the observations ...
Hi Tic Tac Wonder if the markers on the crystal, if it is not painted black, just left it as engraved, will it be interesting? Likewise, I agreed the cradle's locking button need some finetuning, as it was near the raised wristbone. Kong
Printed markers
Kong, we debated this point. Some of us feel that it will look a lot classier if they didn't have the printed markers on the dial. It's going to be a challenge to integrate the markers into the design of the dial/movement though, given it's already very e...
Great report and excellent pictures - thank you, Kong
The pocket watch tribute was great not just in the literal sense. Lovely dial, as well. Cheers, Dirk
The Tribute is certainly a bit big, but how captivating, too!
What an event, Kong! Thanks for the share, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Chopard and PuristPro for this event and special thanks to Kong for extending the
invitation. Hearing the "engine" "wants" calling.
