Chopard L.U.C QUALITÉ FLEURIER and L.U.C XPS FOREST GREEN ( 2024 ).
Apr 15, 2024,08:45 AM
Two " new " offers, should I call them iterations, this year, with these two watches.
The L.U.C Qualité Fleurier is 39 mm big, 8, 92 mm high. while the XPS Forest Green is 40 mm big and 7, 20 mm high.
Not the same cases, as you will see, even if both of them are in steel.
The " Qualité Fleurier "
The XPS Forest Green
The Qualité Fleurier has a more exquisite case, but I prefer the proportions of the XPS Forest Green.
Now, both have the same issue, in my opinion: The Small Second is too centered. I would prefer seeing it lowered and bigger.
On the LUC 1860 from last year, it was more harmonious, but the case was smaller ( 36, 5 mm ) :
Another detail I would change on both versions from this year is the case diameter: 37 for the first one, 38 for the second one. THAT would maybe solve the issue of the too centered small second. And it would add some more elegance to these superb watches.
Food for thought!
What do you think?
Best,
Nicolas
