Outstanding presentation Kong!

 

I was truly impressed when I first caught sight of the EoT and was very close to pulling the trigger.Then I tried to categorize it: was it a dress watch?  Not really. A sports watch - again not in the truest sense. It's a special ocassions watch! In the end, other commitments and indicisiveness made me waver. I still prefer the original but these later versions are looking more like fashion statements; something my other half would go for. Personally, I don't like unisex watches. It would irk me somewhat if at an event for instance, a member of the opposite sex was wearing the same watch as me ...... or shoes ,or shirt, or whatever. You know what I mean. smile

I still like the watch for what it is and your post has revived my original desires for it. Something to think about. smile

Thanks for updating us on the EoT. Your photos are superb!

Best

The 2011 L.U.C Engine One TourbillonS

After last year successful debut, the dialess LUC Engine One Tourbillon (EoT) continues with another two variations this year, with two more striking colour combinations. The 2010 sober design appealing to those who prefer a more classic and understated p...  

Great looking watch!

I really like it a lot, all the versions. I think it's a successful execution of the dialess concept. It looks great on the man's wrist but imho, is just a tad big for a woman's wrist. Some women may be able to pull it off better than others. It's too bad... 

Great input from our Lady Mod!

Tend to agree with the RM, with curved sides perhaps looks more slender and elegant on a Lady. May appeal to some who have sporty lifestyle. Thanks Ping. Kong

I admit - I love this watch. And would wear the white one.

It really appeals to me in design and execution. The details of the minute track require some more consideration, but as a specialty watch from a high-level house this is one of the most interesting and attractive ones I've seen in a long time. Cazalea

For me the version WITH the minute track seems to be more coherent

Perhaps I'm infected with the love of a busy dial being a chrono lover, but the original without the minutes seems a little contrived? Too much focus on a rather literal interpretation of the "engine" theme.

I have just fallen in love with the OnlyWatch color variation :-)

fabulous photos of a brilliant watch. I might add that this is the watch of Karl Friedrich Scheufele - seen here with Mrs H at the IGOTT2 in Vegas: Great watch and great photo essay. Cheers Andrew H...  

Thanks for a great article Kong, really liked the video

and can't wait to see it in the metal. I personally do not like the white for me, but there are so many other colors! Best to all, Tim

Outstanding presentation Kong!

I personally wouldn't wear the white one, but I know my special lady would.

have to say I prefer the 2010 version

 
By: playtime : September 13th, 2011-10:26
but the case as well as the details really make for a strinkingly bold watch. It feels both avant garde yet refined--a balance rarely attempted let alone achieved.... J

OMG! I've not been around a while and now
