Superb movement!
The movement looks beautifully finished and fills the case completely making the case back look really charming.
The dial has a mix of classic elegance yet a modern flair to it. I like it too. Agree with Kong that having the dial in grand feu enamel will ice the cake.
Superb review Kong as always! Thank you for sharing this post.

The New L.U.C 1963
L.U.C 1963 is one new stunning and elegant piece, a good balance of traditional with contemporary in design! It is developed to commemorate a key milestone of the Geneva-based company - Chopard, which was acquired by the Scheufele family in 1963 and year ...
Absolutely beautiful
A timelessly elegant gentleman's wristwatch. The dial and case are exquisite. And the movement.....what a wonderful piece of craftmanship. Congratulations to everybody at L.U.Chopard for a magnificent creation. Antony
Extremely nice...
Really a beauty! It has the potential to become a sought-after Chopard "grail", similar to IWC's Jubilee Portugieser. Unfortunately, the edition is so small that the watches are likely to disappear in vaults forever. Marcus
Beautiful! Look at that movement!
I really can't wait to see this one in person. That's beautiful! And look at that movement! It's like a band of purists sat down and said, "what are we going to make that's pure and not already on the market?" and this is what they came up with! Can't wai...
"case diameter is reduced to 44mm"
LOL, that´s funny. Nonetheless, I like a lot what I see and I will try to see one in the metal. Maybe it has short lugs and fits on my smaller wrist ... that could be a good reason to wait until we see one in white metal ... a little bird told me PT is co...
If pt is coming.....
It's a dangerous watch..... We need to see it soon Oliver don't we? Mo
Ooooohh me like a lot,...
Give me enamel dial and pt case I am in! Beautiful despite the size,need to see it live.... Mo
Chopard LUC 1963 is a purist's PuristS watch
With such a large movement base, we accept that 44mm diameter case. It is a cambered case with thin bezel and "proportionately thin" . I've seen many of the components and design elements before but not the complete watch. Thanks for the preview. Your wri...
A superb view!
I really think that Chopard did a great job here: I love the beauty of this movement but more important the fact that it fully fills the case. Thanks a lot Kong! Fx ...
Simply beautiful
When I saw the watch in Basel last year, my only regret was its limitation to 50 pieces. The watch and even more the movement is stunning and raises the bar in terms of quality and craft within the LUC collection. Well done Chopard! Best, Carl

Kong, what dangerous pictures!
I just missed seeing one in Las Vegas last week! What a stunning watch. The movement looks absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to see one now. Best, CaliforniaJed
Please check it out for us !
Hi Jed I am very curious to hear your first impression :-) Awaiting ... Kong
Kong, 44mm seems too large for a dress watch.
Of course, I can't blame the 44mm because of the pocket watch movement. Still, it is a very stunning 3 hands watch. May I say: if the dial is enamel, then, it would even be more attractive. Is this a boutique piece? Regards Ling
Tailor ...
the side of the cuff where the watch will be on bigger :-) I've to agree with you, the feel of value is stronger or perceived higher if the it an enamel dial. It did not say it is a boutique exclusive, however, given only 50 pieces, doubt enough to go to ...
I still have a vivid souvenir of the Tribute... But this one is really something.
I would have preferred a small second subdial at 6, but I must say that I am postiviely impressed by this " 1963 "! Best, Nicolas
Good to hear that ...
Thanks for viewing, Nico. This one, you may wish to check it out in metal. kong
Any pix of Platinum version?
I have heard a Platinum specimen was on display at Basel 2014 - anyone have pix? Thanks!
Not me ...
only see the rose gold. Please check with Chopard Boutique near your area. Kong
