To add another 8Hz…
To the one just posted by Yacomino. Here the granddad of them all, i.e. the first LUC 8HF. This one still with the white dial, no PR and a titanium case.
And it’s probably the last hurrah for the cashmere straps before they get changed for something more summery, like the tires of my car 🛞
I fell in love with it as soon as it came out and while it took me years to finally find one in Europe I am happy to have waited. And before I add something beating even faster from Breguet, this will likely remain my fastest frequency watch 🏍️
Thanks so much…
Still need to find some properly fitting straps for it for the summer season 😊👍🏻
Do you find the watch beautiful, or wearable?
I was looking at this piece at a trade show for many minutes - under poor lighting - and couldn't decide one way or the other. Memorable, certainly.
Certainly not conventionally beautiful…
At the same time in many ways striking. The case construction is interesting, the movement a highlight for someone who’s a fan of high frequency (not that you can see much of it through the little porthole in the back), the then new handset of Chopard got one of the first roll-outs here.
The short lugs definitely make it very wearable, even if it is never going to be the conventional choice. Many prefer the ceramic successor in black as it is less ‘out there’ but for me this one is sufficiently unconventional to attract me more 😊

That's a very interesting one. I could see it only twice or three times in real. I need to see it again.
It will never be a design classic…
And I fully agree there’s a lot going on. For me personally it works in a non-conventional way but I fully understand that that probably wouldn’t be the general view 😊👍🏻
Looks stunning my friend! I am becoming a big fan of not only chapped but this 8Hz movement!
Same here - been a big fan for a while…
Almost got an AE with the 8Hz movement but when this became available it was the clear preference for me, since I have been looking for it for ages 😊👍🏻
I do know…
And I owe you some case detail shots, if I recall correctly 😊 The conceptual feel is one of the things that draws me to it - find it similar to the Amvox 2 in that respect 👍🏻
