Thank you Andrew for this excellent report!
Glad you had a great time at the event.
The Chopard LUC 1963 Chronograph PuristS special edition is indeed growing on me. Beautiful dial and manual movement and just pure in steel!
At 42mm, I am afraid it is a bit too big for me but the lugs look very short.
Will try out if I have a chance in Singapore!
It could be the 3rd black dial white metal high end chronograph to complete my trilogy of high end manual wind chronographs. I currently have a Lange Datograph and Montblanc Villeret grand feu email chronograph.
Let's see if it fits me 
Cheers

1963 chronometer hands blue?
Great post, does it have blued steel hands or just the lighting?

Interesting departure from the usual L.U.C convention
of hands matching case - perhaps to create a stronger visual distinction between it and the Tribute.
Just for clarification please....
My bad for a poorly formatted post. I was referring to the Platinum 1963 Chronometer and just for clarification on the hand color, do you remember if the "blueing" treatment is that dark gray "lead" color similar to the Tribute or a dark blue?

Looks like a nice event at a unique place. If only those walls could tell stories of what they've seen... Finally, some wrist-shots of the actual live watch. Looks really sporty. A very pure watch, a watch conceived by discerning watch collectors for disc...

I would strongly encourage you to try it out. The lugs on the case
will allow the watch to fit the smaller wrist, even if the case size is 42mm. The weight and feel of the watch are ideal and it will tug at the heart strings! :) Take a look! Andrew H
