Next up, Chopard Perpetual Twin
What a watch, what an incredibly beautiful perpetual calendar watch, in steel, at an unbelievable price point for a movement of this quality. The L.U.C 96.51-L powers this 43mm watch. Again familiar territory for Chopard, in a tried and true way - microrotor movement, twin barrels, 27 jewels. This was the first time this watch has been on my wrist. It will happen again, I have no doubt, hopefully as my own.
When in London...
Hello, all! I have been absent from our forum for a while, but always peering in, and I finally had a spare day (in London!) to catch my breath. Free from any obligations, I took a walk to Selfridges to stop in the Chopard Boutique there. It's one I had n...

And finally, a Chopard L.U.C XPS in steel.
This may arguably be the best value in the L.U.C line. At 7mm thin, it wears incredibly well. It may be steel-cased, but it is nothing short of elegant, and superbly functional with the date tucked away at 6 beneath the seconds subdial. Another one that w...
We were missing you my friend...
...and was sometimes feeling lonely with my watch & pen shots... Welcome back on board, hope you will manage for being back but we all know how it is with job, family obligations and other constraints... Anyhow good to have you back and thanks for sha...
So great to have you back!
We\'ve been missing you But it looks like there is a new steel cased Chopard to compensate for your work related absence - treating yourself is definitely in order You\'ve surely been missing the Vlad elements of Puristspro in the meantime
Glad is always there.
Whether online, or haunting us in all sorts of ways! Hope all is well with you!
Wise words :)
All is well, just been supremely busy lately. Five weeks away from home but should get better now And no new wrist watches this year (did get a pocket watch as a present)... So getting time
Good to hear you are well!
Only one watch for me in 2016, but I am hoping to do some damage this year!
Looking forward to seeing what it is :)
The choices you have shown are all winners, so...
Three excellent steel Chopard L.U.C watches in this thread from London
Thanks for the glimpse of Leisurely Luxury Looking in London. The three watches in this thread are excellent examples of "affordable luxury" from Chopard: L.U.C Time Traveler One L.U.C Perpetual Twin L.U.C 1860 XPS The Selfridges and Harrods Chopard bouti...
MTF, the steel pieces are really impressive.
I happen to enjoy steel as a case material, anyway. (Though, yes, ho hum, Platinum will do, too!) To see Chopard do this, and do it so well, is a true pleasure for me. This afternoon, I kept hearing Mrs. CaliforniaJed\'s voice in my ear, and it kept me fr...
Thanks for sharing!!
It looks very nice on your wrist...I had a very pleasant experience with Christopher as well...nice guy and very helpful indeed...all the best..Alex
