Wow..that's a tough question...
Hi HW
For your first question, I doubt it will happen with SS for now. However nobody can say for sure about the future.
For your second question, I would like to borrow the nominated list of this year Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve to present an objective perspective. Please observe the categories they were grouped in and the companies they were with.
As for the question about value, it is subjective. Your value and mine are different. That's one of the reasons people buy different watches at different time of their horology appreciation journey. To me, the L.U.C Chrono One is of more value.
I've seen the new Da Vinci Chronograph. The casing is very well-made and has a lot of details after hearing Guy Bove's (IWC 's Creative Director) presentation. The Chronograph readout is easier, however I still prefer the conventional layout. One part I don't like is having a round calibre into a tonneau or turtle shape casing...well, this is also personal preference.
So do take a look on both pieces, try them on before deciding.
Regarding retaining value, I'm no clairvoyant
.... it's up to supply & demand plus aggressive marketing....however, the intrinsic value must be there to be sustainable.Kong

Great Reception!!
Looks like a great reception, Kong Thanks for all the wonderful pics! I'll try and make a trip to Singapore coincide with one of these events . The chrono looks terrific. Hopefully we'll see some close-ups soon. By the way, and I don't mean to be snide si...
Coming up soon the Chrono One pics....
Hi Joseph Mr.Scheufele is a very neat person... I think he has a long trip. He didn't come directly to Singapore. I knew his previous stop was Japan. The Chrono not only looks good, till you have a chance to press it ! Let me know when you are coming over...
Chopard fete
Thanks, Kong, I visited the Chopard Manufacture in the spring with the TimeZone tour and was very very impressed! Peter Wehrli and his assistant Susan were wonderful to us and everyone had a terrific time. Unfortunately they didn't allow any photos. But I...

Perfect suits with TimeWerke magazine (photos)
I'm sorry but your comments must be due to the poor light at the dinner reception because in normal lighting, these are the Scheufeles immaculately turned out in sartorial elegance just before the reception. Signing the TimeWerke magazine with Chopard wat...
Photos
Yes, perhaps. These photos look much better! But please read my previous post. And I will repeat that I have seen other photos of M. Scheufele who I regard with great admiration. He is an intelligent thoughtful, creative and generous person who has done w...
RRP for LUC Chrono One
Just wondering what is the RRP (or approx. entry point price) for this outstanding watch, the LUC Chrono One. Cheers.
If I remember correctly...
Hi HW Welcome to the Chopard Forum. The RRP should be SGD 66K. Kong
Thank you
Thanks for replying Kong. I don't think Chopard will be launching a stainless steel version one find day? How do you compare Chopard's LUC Chrono One with IWC's Da Vinci Chronograph? Both are in-house movements. Da Vinci's totaliser is interesting as it a...
