Chopard

41 mm steel case which they call " Lucent Steel " because it is ultra resistant and light reflecting, according to the press release. A spectacular rose dial which received a galvanic treatment, which, divine surprise, doesn't feature a date! Water resist...  

It's 22,600 USD in USA. Plus VAT.

I like "no date", and the new dial design with small seconds makes it look more elegrant/luxurious in my eyes. Very nice indeed,. The the salmon (rosa pink) dial looks terrific, at least in the pics.

Nico, is it up there with the best regarding finishing etc?

I have tried on the thin tourbillon, and this I believe is the same case and (non tourbillon) movement - without the hole in the dial, what's not to like!

Not sure if the clasp mechanism is smoother on this new model.

This seems (to a novice like me) to be the LUC micro rotor... does that make this basically a LUC alpine eagle? I am guessing this explains the increase from ~14k usd to ~22k?

This one and the Chopard 1860 36mm LUC Movement, the IWC Ingeniur, and the Van Cleef & Arpels Automatons are the winners of this year's show.

Wonderful movement. Nothing better than that movement!

Hmm. The bezel looks kind of larger than the ideal proportion on those. But might have to see those in person to make a final verdict.
