- Ever thought to yourself, “I wish a high-end, historic watchmaker would just make a really top-drawer, beautiful watch with an incredible, chronometer-rated in-house movement that I could buy for way, way less money than it seems like it should be.” Yeah, me too. Pipe dream? Perhaps not. This is the Chopard L.U.C. 1937, and it’s the watch you always wanted.

"I'm no loyalist to any one brand - that I can afford at least"
Everybody knows you're referring to A Lange and Sohne...
Grail brand...
Haha. So true!
I tell people all the time that Chopard is the best cost to value deal in the entire industry. I have a Mille Miglia GTS and it’s one of my favorite watches. A COSC certified manufacture movement. Very cool racing watch that I picked up used for
We want to see your personal collection please
They are milking it, they want 4 billion views for that.
he once said a long time ago that he was more of a one watch at a time guy
I don’t think we’ll ever see it. He knows it’s so good that it’ll turn a lot of people off. Not me, I won’t mind, but they’ll be haters out there that all of sudden will think he’s above us all. So it’s best he don’t offend the weak by showing off his collection.
He works for WatchFinder, his collection is whatever watch they allow him to wear.
I don't know if its an optical illusion due the markers being different sizes, that seconds hand movement is very weird.
saw that also, thought it was my laptops refresh rate.
I've seen the same optical effect on other videos too, especially when it comes to a central chrono hand and chrono gears - sometimes they appear to stagger. I've come to a conclusion that it's due to frame rates at which the video was shot vs my display refresh rate. I doubt it's the movement's fault.
second-hand looks like its skipping/stuttering. ouch
You can see the seconds hand shaking as it stutters. It looks a bit sickly.
It’s supposed to be a stop second but it seems like the watch is defective.
Let's view watch videos instead of going to bed.
I know right it's 2:30 in the morning here.
Me at almost 4am
That’s what I’m doing at 3:45am.
Only 7pm here. But ill likely still go to bed anyway as its lockdown and there is nothing to do 😀
For me they upload at 7:00 AM, perfect for the breakfast
I have this watch on the bracelet. It's outstanding. So undervalued on the secondary market. The seconds hand sweep that some ppl here are referring to is obviously the result of the camera filming it and not a flaw in the watch
I like your narratives in presenting all these watches. Your presentation is always enjoyable.
This movement is simply outstanding!!!! Thanks watchfinder to show us this amazing watchs!
I am so fond of the videos you make, I hope you make other videos about pocket watches.
Thank you!
Always eager to see the very latest videos you make!
I have this watch. And it's everything you said and more! Its the best value watch ever! Nothing beats it. It's the perfect all rounder watch with 100m water resistance - elegant when dressed up and at home with jeans.
There are brands out there that are really under rated but performs better than more popular watches out there. Simplicity, most of the time, speaks more elegance. :)
LUC, JLC, IWC, HMoser&Cie, GS, Piaget, longines...
The seconds hand is ticking very weirdly....kinda stuttery
Yes I noticed that too
It’s the difference in the shutter speed of the camera and the tick rate of the second hate. It happens in all their other videos to
ItS ChRonMEtEr GraDE
Really annoying
Yeah, that second hand is wack.
Once again a wonderful overview, which you do time and time again....well done!
A beautiful watch, but the seconds hand seems to be unsteady.
Thats because its not a sho-pard but a CHOP-ard..
@@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen nice one
I noticed that as well. It might be an illusion caused by the camera’s frame rate.
@@gryfandjane It's not an illusion. It's clearly a poorly made watch.
This is caused by the camera, the watch sweeps OK.
I've never been a fan or "Roman Numeral" dials on watches but I do admit that because of the 42mm size casing this Chopard looks amazing as well as crystal clear!! A beautiful timepiece indeed!!!
Ever see one of these "super bargain" videos and then go "Well, not any more they aren't" ?
Exactly. A bargain, but for the rich still.
@@MrPresidente98 Andrew means that prices skyrocket after videos like these are released.
I checked the price of it the day video was released. New one is £6940. Used ones on chrono24 are priced at least 4k. So...
I think that's their point. "This is selling cheap so let me point it out so I can make a killing off the stock I bought." These always feel artificial and shady.
@@nonexistant2k3 Exactly, it's always a watch they have in stock, isn't it?
Such a classy watch from a superb watch maker. True artisans of the craft. 👌🏼 I have to get one.
This is such a classic watch. Roman letters, goth yet clean, simple yet eye catching.
I keep coming back to this, beautiful!
Would love to see more of these type of collections
Very ❤️nice review Sir 👍
I'm more on the side of Cuervo y Sobrinos for this type of watch. Something that doesn't leave me...cold. Even though not having an in-house movement. There's something about them I just adore. I'd love to get a video of a Torpedo or Pirata with your macro top-notch view.
Please keep posting more videos on value propositions And soon to become vintage watches!!! Many of us prefer these instead of more unobtainable Rolexes
Can you feature a Baume & Mercier or detail the history of Omega’s founding?
It is really great that Chopard offers this movement in a steel case. It is unfortunate that Chopards depreciate so quickly.
It's a good day when Watchfinder releases a new video.
Always loved the LUC Chopards. Thanks for highlighting them. And letting the cat outta the bag.
I guess it's not a legitimate Watchfinder video until chinchinche posts his "It's a good day..." comment.
Nice video mate.
Chopard LUC, of the least known groups of fantastic watches.
And how about a couple of videos about Glashutte Original watches? They are very high quality and stunning, yet almost no one knows about them.
more of videos like these please
At first I didn't care for the date window, but it grew on me over the course of the video.
And that movement..!
All due respect, would you by any chance in the future do Raymond Weil Parsifal. A know and then difference. I have 2 classic ones from the 90’s. 9190 and a 9180 quartz if I’m correct in the second model number. I enjoy your breakdown on these watches.
Does the beat of the seconds hand seem a bit erratic to anyone else?
i noticed that as well
That would be a def deal killer for me. It drives me nuts looking at it.
Yeah it’s pretty wild not for me
Maybe the camera shaking ever so slight? Or maybe the camera itself. I don't know why, really.
But its hard to believe I Chopard watch would do that, even though we are seeing it.
I hope watchfinder can clarify, this would be an absolute embarrassment for Chopard.
The frame rate of the camera is occasionally syncing with beats of the movement. It's an effect of video, not the watch. If you look closely in other watchfinder videos, it actually happens quite commonly.
Thanks for listening and doing a Chopard video!
Your videos are so satisfying. Will you ever review Movado? I don’t see any videos on your channel
Movado is trash, it's a fashion watch brand. I'd be shocked if he reviewed any Movado watch.
Beautiful
Love your videos. Time the eternal measure , space the infinite, tied into a tiny package , a thing of unapparelled Beauty. A great watch is as simple as a drop of water and yet as huge as the ocean, as little as a breath we inhale or as vast as the space, this tiny "tic tock " in-between them hold the very eternity !!!!! Just one point though , in all your videos in the introduction , you mention about subscribing, in that is a very minor correction- "if you already Have " and not "are" … I couldn't help but to share with you, for you are describing - attention to details, passion ,craftsmanship - I hope you take it in the right spirit. Keep ticking and chiming......
"I'd appreciate it If you subscribed to the channel" (subscribed=verb) followed by "if you already are (subscribed to the channel)" (subscribed=adjective) kinda works in my book but I can see why you flagged it. Certainly if he'd said 'subscribed to the channel' in the second bit it would have been correct.
When you said "affordable" I forgot I'm not "ritch" until you said the actual price lol
Simple and yet beaitiful watch. A breath of fresh air in the word that we live in nowadays where it's all about the diamonds and grotesc design.
From the top view the time price looks unassuming but good looking. And the bottom view is a awesome looking.
Is that seconds hand not direct driven?
Is the second hand staggering?
Beautiful watch indeed.
I’d consider one without that awkward date window. Ruins the dial IMO.
It's actually not that bad. I've seen watches with worst date window placement where it's much higher.
Also, it would have looked a lot weirder if it was at 3 o'clock.
@@inkhaurt5812 or god forbid 4:30
This x100
Stunning!
Beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻
You had me at LUC being chopard’s initials and the close ups long before you had to explain the mechanical movement. N
Not to say I don’t enjoy your explainations, in fact I enjoy them quite a lot.
Thank you for a very informative video, now excuse me while I go look at things I can live without.
😂 I'll just stick to my collection plans thanks. 4 to 5 months wages is not a bargain.
fr, this guy needs to chill with the use of "bargain"
I bought my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore QE II Cup, Limited Edition (184/500) Chronograph, in Red Gold and Forged Carbon back in 2016 and I love it more each day .... I'm not sure I could look at this watch every day and do the same ...
.
Great vid as usual but after doing some research, the cheapest I could find it was on the gray market for $5000. And, it's out of stock.
Keep your eyes out. They will show up second hand for cheap now and then.
The seconds hand is probably fine. Probably more to do with FPS of the video versus beats per second of the watch. Most of the other videos are probably shot at a lower FPS giving it the illusion of "glide"
These are my favorite reviews. High horology pieces that can be found for good prices second hand.
its amazing isn't it. i never seen a watch line with so many gorgeous pieces and so technologically advanced, and yet the prices for pre-owned pieces are at large discounts to retail. As opposed to Patek's etc. I think the stuffy high end watch community for whatever reason gives Chopard zero respect. Fine with me.
What’s going on with the jittery second hard?
Stop asking for subscription 😎😎
We all ready done it because your gentle voice and narration command it😘
I thought of you as a Prince 🤩
I dont like many of watches that you present.
I like the mechanism the details that you explain and your style 🧐🧐
Love chopard and this is a nice piece, but the real secret bargain of the century was the Nomos lambda 175 years edition in stainless steel.. if you were quick enough to get one
Amazing! Damn Amazing!
1:27 all this time i thought you are the founder and owner of watchfinder
It belongs to the Richemont group..
I like the Roman numerals, especially the IIII at 4 O'Clock.
is there something wrong with the second hand?
I know LUC Chopard had a rotor on there outside of the movement what is the name of watch.
Please give review on Seiko SPB165J1..🙏🙏.. and suggest me best seiko presage watch please.
Very nice watch, but the aesthetic just isn’t doing it for me, and maybe I am not alone & that along with branding is the reason for the price. If they made this dial more minimal with everything you outline, I would likely consider one. Love your videos btw. One small issue is the omnipresent bumper music. You’ve got a good speaking voice and the content is always excellent. There is no need to have the music continually playing. It is a small detractor, even if you do lower the volume on it.
Looking at used Chopards, alot of models go down as much as 60% from the price new, that is insane since they have a few really nice watches. That L.U.C cost 6500€ in Sweden so to pick it up used is a bargain.
I really do hope that speck of dust to be seen at 0:15 is on top op the crystal at X . . .
Hi can you help me find/buy a watch?
Thanks Watchfinder, nice video. Beautiful movement. Dial doesn't speak to me.
It's quite a big watch isn't it, especially for a dress watch. Lug to lug seems to be over 50mm.
Ok so clearly I'm not the only one to notice the seconds hand ...and I don't mean a few people. Everyone is commenting on it! We need answers.
I specifically put Watchfinder videos up on the big screen when they come out.
Not really a fan of dress watches but this one is awesome
That flicker looks like it has to be the frame rate of the camera.
The balance spring at 5'17" is doing the same thing, and the pictures look weird, which wouldn't happen if what we are seeing was real.
The frame rate and "tick rate" (?) are not quite in sync, that gives the intermittency.
Just a thought.
< A few seconds later, and there is a CU of the mainspring. To me that looks like a camera artefact.>
Maybe they are in sync and that is the reason for flickering.
I’d rather wear this watch upside down. I’d dare to say it’s among the most beautiful automatics I’ve ever seen.
That hand set is awesome. I only wish for applied indices.
Upon further viewing, there is an odd, and unpleasant, stutter to that second hand.
Those Roman numerals on that watch is Retro! Well done Chopard! A class apart! 🤍🖤🤍🖤
..and, that shot at 6:04.. Wow!
If you like that, take a look at Stowa Marine Roman.
@@Svenskadoktorn A sharp dressed watch and stunning Roman Numerals interpretation. Thank you for suggesting..
@@noelkallu2306 No probs my man!
Please review the A. LANGE & SÖHNE Saxonia moonphase 384.031
ANY CHNACE OF REVIEWING The Chopard Alpine Eagle... please!
What's with the janky second hand and its jerky movement? Is that a defective watch?? Certainly makes me want to avoid that watch.
Corn Fed the seconds hand is probably indirectly driven- meaning the movement was designed to have sub seconds and it was modified to have a large running seconds. Because it adds a gear there can be a stutter which I think detracts from the watch as a whole. This in combination with a lower beat rate (probably 21,600 bph) leads to the seconds hand acting like this and because this is the movements architecture this is probably the smoothest it’ll get.
The seconds hand on others look smoother than this one.
Yeah, at first I thought it was a mechaquartz or perhaps a vintage 18000 beat rate to go with the heritage collection idea.
Luxury or not all those white dots on the printing would do my head in....
Sorry to say this Mr Talking Hands, but the seconds hand movement on that watch seems to be...erm...rubbish?
Close up it has hints of 'Speke-Marin'
Look at how the second hand moves. Looks odd to me.
Glad someone else noticed this!
From 5:33 to 5:53 what is up with the second hand? It looks like it had one too many espressos for breakfast. It has a case of the serious jitters
Somehow the hour and minute hands seem to small/narrow and dont match the design with roman numerals IMHO.
Not sure if it’s a bargain as the price is 6k sterling pounds
No it's 3000 gbp, did you watch the video?
@@stevenkelby2169 I see it for £6K plus on their website.
I think this is nicer....www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/d/4226003/tissot+classic+dream+men%27s+brown+leather+strap+watch/
@@anthonystewart677 we're talking about USED prices, not new. And you can probably get it at a discount.
@@JayandSarah Ah, I see. No worries.
Lol "buying a Chopard may not put you on the list of coolest dudes ever", after buying a LUC Pro One GMT a few months ago, yeah I can't dispute that haha
The seconds hand seem to be a little nervous....
Got covid
Keep in mind this is a watch seller. They probably too many of these in stock and want to drive the prices up. Where else did you ever hear someone claiming that a pilot-sized dress watch "is not unwearably small!" Now that's rich!
Well now that you posted I’m sure it ain’t a bargain no more
The price mentioned is for a model without box and papers, in which case you'd have to be a very brave person to take a punt on it.
Why?
It’s a good day when there’s a new video.
I really really love this watch and I had it on my wrist some times. But.... why 42 !!!! Make it 40 39 or 38 !!!!
It is perfect !! Accept for that!!
Make it 33. Anything more means overcompensating.
alex mood
Ok ... 33 is a bit. That times are over.
There are tons of vintage watches on crono in hat are so beautiful.
Just the 38mm are rare recently
@@johanhirte9661 I hear you. But one can always hope.
@@johanhirte9661 you’re right on Chrono. I got myself examples of high horology in 31.5 and 33 diameter for under 3k which is just insane. But someone’s loss is my gain.
alex mood
That is the point. The 33 mm ones are not popular so the value drops. The same with this chopard actually. U can get it on a discount.
Even it is basically a better watch than a datejust. Just everyone wants a Rolex.
it seems like second hand hesitates to tick
Morgan Freeman, Sir David Attenborough, and Watchfinder. Best narrators.
Amazing watch, beautiful dial and everything. The only things that stopps me from being able to love this, is it's size which seems to be so off for a 1937 vintage inspired model.... 42mm wtf ?! 36mm would be perfectly fine, maybe even 38... but 42?!
Exactly sir,
Vintage was not a beast on the wrist,
The style was to blend..
is that an enamelled dial???
Who are you? Great looking watch.
Not in india ??
CAN I ask how many watches do you own and which is your favourite? 🤔
Yeah, nope. It's a great looking piece, and I love the finished tones of the movement. The deep copper look of the balance wheel is gorgeous, and the purple light you caught highlighting what's beneath was (as per usual for your photography) amazing. But I have a Red Star chronograph that I never wear anymore because the CHRONO seconds (which I rarely even use) moves, stutters and jumps, just like the one in this video, drives me freaking batty. If I can't stomach that in a P.O.S. $300 Chinese knock off, I certainly can't abide it in a four figure L.U.C.
Guess I'll keep searching!
Lovely video as always.
You mean the way the second hand sweeps on this whatch?
@@johnnyboy1586 Yes. Though I would say "sweeps" is kind. More like, "jitters".
That seconds hand seems to have stage fright
