Very nice especially the Lunar One, BUT
please no diamonds. Same with Patek'a nautilus anniversary and 5170P, which are near perfect watches sans diamonds. I guess it's a trend. I guess there's a specific market for them and I guess it's an easy way to increase profits by overpricing diamonds. I don't often speak negatively, but this trend is a shame in my subjective opinion. The only positive exception with a diamond on men's watches is the discreet placement on Patek's platinum models, where only the owner can see. I admit I like that subtle detail. The key being subtle.
Thanks for sharing. The lunar one is very appealing and I will revisit other variations. Kindest regards,
Edward

Thank you very much
For your thoughtful and historical perspective. You of course are right both on gem set rarities not being a trend and regional and religious preferences. I was excited to see the Lunar One with a black dial, although your post including the blue dial bea...
Proverb: From the summit of a high mountain, you can see a higher mountain
Indeed....I thought you might enjoy the killer blue dial platinum L.U.C Lunar One launched in March 2017. You need to ask at a Chopard Boutique A.S.A.P. The blue changes hue according to the ambient light because of the sun-ray pattern on the dial.... L.U...
Interesting pieces...
As much as I admire the horological and gem setting expertise exhibited in both watches shown, I still find it difficult to get sufficiently in touch with my Eastern European self (as per your description, MTF ) to seriously consider visible diamonds on a...
I know...
It is primarily a matter of the head, not the muscle And a small financial issue as well
Love, your Chopard Cannes reports MTF.....

So elegant that you don't notice the diamonds

Hmmmmmn
I'm not so sure, diamonds in general goes very well in pair with a black or navy blue dial and silver tone case, much more restrained than say a YG case with silver dial. I'm quite sure I'd enjoy watching it gracefully play with the light in my winder but...
