Baselworld 2017: Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer
Possibly my favourite Chopard watch offered at Baselworld 2017 for nostalgic reasons. Twenty years ago, Chopard introduced the first L.U.C watch from Chopard Manufacture - (100-pieces limited edition) that had an officer case back revealing the glorious ...
Of course,
I love it! My first and favorite L.U.C is 16/1860 with its officer caseback. (Right or wrong, I refer to it as a half hunter.) The 96.01-L in an officer case would be a nice companion! Wonder if I could find one with 43 bees?! Best, CaliforniaJed ...
Lovely timepiece. This engraving makes me think a little bit about the one of the Breguet 5967

Nice model and did you count the number of bees ;-))
"21" on the LUC back officer plate. Cheers, Patrickh
There are more bees on the production models; I counted more than 40
On two production pieces, I counted more than 40 bees on each watch but that was without a loupe so the exact number was still a mystery. But I know that there were more than the measly 21 bees on the Press Kit photos There were 'clouds' of bees buzzing a...
Thank you MTF
Some bees are flying together (by twins) on watch N°8/100 ;-)) Best, Patrickh
I was just about to ask...
About this watch and then you come up with a complete report Thanks a lot for it! Love the officer caseback, the dial details and the metal choice. Very well done
An extremely refined LUC that I had a chance to see and appreciate in detail in Basel
and I actually loved it. The nicely engraved caseback, the fine LUC caliber, the well finished slim case, the wonderful guilloche dial... what's not to like in this one ? Thanks for the nice review Melvin Mike
L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer has the best Chopard points per dollar ratio of 2017 L.U.C watches
The L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer hits all the pounts for nostalgia, aesthetic, technique, chronometry and swellegance. It is also a lot more affordable than my 2nd favourite 2017 offering: L.U.C Perpetual Chronograph in platinum case with blue dial.... More abo...
It's a lovely watch and so 'tactile'....forbidden flower
The case back honeycomb design may rub away after much stroking by the owner. The integrated pusher in the crown is so enticing...alluring...demanding gentle pushes to open up like a forbidden flower. Regards, MTF
Pure class and elegance
i hope to see it in the metal and try it. From your pics, it looks like the nicest Chopard dress watch so far ! The officer back is amazingly well crafted, even the 90 degrees angle and holding it there is a great detail Thanks MTF! Cheers Robin
I cannot afford a L.U.C XPS 1860 Officer :o(
Robin, Apologies from not being clearer.....my tears were hindering my typing. :-( I have no ability, in reality, to satisfy my desire.... When I said only 99 pieces are left, it is because one watch (at least) was snapped up by a discerning aficionado at...
Lol!! I like your description MTF :)
understood Same here! I have decided to save up for something and don't have Budget for watches for now! Oh no! Cheers Robin
Finally getting that Porsche? Also a partner of Chopard...
Ah.....saving for that sports car huh? Regards, MTF ...
I don't understand either. What is Robin rubbing in?
You are the one who seemingly secured the first one out of 100, right? "Only 99 pieces LEFT......" That statement is a lot edgier than anything Robin wrote. Must be some sort of inside joke, but you might fill Robin in as he does not seem to get it either...
Ok i think I understood lol
