Chopard

The Chopard L.U.C. 1860 in Lucent Steel For more than a dozen years, I’ve worked as a management consultant primarily in large, complex industrial plants — environments where dressing up is rarely part of the job. Naturally, my collection has leaned heavi...  

Both your chopard are top references. As for your new one, that’s going to go down as an all timer. For sure. I find I don’t dress up much but wear my dressy watches with jeans and a polo, or a untucked button down, etc. last night I wore my white gold mo... 

With rumors of both of these pieces being discontinued, perhaps a future AE XPS with a different dial color may be in your future!🤷 HAGWE!🥂

...  

You photos with different strap / bracelet combos helped pushed me over the edge!😂🤣😂 HAGWE!🍻

Take care and wear that one in good health.

This is a wonderful timepiece. Chopard did everything right here, at least, imo. And thank you for this great post, tracing your journey to this watch. I couldn't agree more with you when you say that this watch "represents something increasingly rare — r... 

I agree, the watch itself is a great example of Chopard getting the fundamentals right. That mix of restraint, history, and real watchmaking is exactly what pulled me in. HAGWE!🥂

And absolutely - you were one of the first to jump on the L.U.C 1860 bandwagon. Your photos on natural light were a tremendous help!🙏 HAGWE!🥂

Before I got to the end, I thought this dial will be great for the coffee shot. And there it is!! Happy for you, Mark!

The dial really does come alive in natural light - especially over coffee. Appreciate the kind words!🙏 HAGWE!🥂

The dial color is what sealed it for me, though it’s difficult to fully appreciate under boutique lighting. It’s even better in natural light. HAGWE!🥂

I hear this has been discontinued?

That’s what the boutique staff mentioned as well — at first, I thought it might be a sales tactic. But with the chatter around the AE XPS and now this, it wouldn’t be surprising. Whatever the case, I’m very glad to have added it to my collection. HAGWE!🥂 ... 

Cheers and congrats 🎊 ...  

A big congrats my friend! 🍻 🎉 🥳

From your previous posts, could see you are quite fond of the LUC. A great start to your dress collection!

Have a great week!🥂

And congrats on a wonderful timepiece, wear it in good health! You’ve got a truly special one and I know from personal experience ...  

This is such a great shot / combo of the original!!!😍😍😍 When you posted this shot last week, I just discovered I had to wait one more week.😢 But it was the additional wait! Have a great week!🥂

Yes, I don’t believe there is a member on this site who is not aware of your love for this piece!😆 For non-owners of this piece, we probably had the most posts here! Like I stated, chasing perfection was unrealistic! If I recall, there were three pieces f... 

Such refinement here from Chopard with this classic reference. I know that you will enjoy it!

Hope all is well. Thanks again and have a great week!🥂

Have a great week!🥂

Hopefully, you are fully recovered!🤞 Thanks again and have a great week!🥂

As for my recovery, it is far from being over. Unfortunately, one year after my surgery, I’m still not back to where I was before. The surgery and progress is painfully slow and now I have to see this as a journey that I take one step at a time. Cheers. ... 

The dial and case are a match made in heaven, and that movement, wow!

Have a great week!🥂

Somehow this wrist shot makes this watch absolutely look perfect on you, unlike any other. Congrats! ...  

Have a great week!🥂

The only thing better than your post is the watch itself. What a stunner! Sibling and parents say hi. ...  

In fact, your posts helped to push me to ‘pull the trigger.’ Have a great week!🥂
