31 October 2007, 7pm, Relections at Keppel Bay, Singapore - Chopard & Sincere jointly launch the L.U.C Chrono One.

The evening began with cocktail at 7pm. 
Guests have time to taste some absolute good wine, mingled with each other and to view some masterpieces displayed.
Followed by a scrumptious dinner...and ended with cigars.

The nice pictures( from Mr. Harry Tan) will tell the story.  Thank you, Harry.

Enjoy.

The beautiful site of the event.  It is also the new prestigious waterfront-living development  - Reflections.








Sun setting soon.


Warming up session before the guests arrived.


The setup was to cater for 100 pax of Sincere's clients & friends...


Attention to details is the key here...





Meticulously prepared ... the glass, napkin and placemat were all marked L.U.C .
The name-plate with the guest was placed just beside the dinner menu. 


A 5-course fine dining dinner...accompanied by 2 wines...




These are some of the spectacular range.. I must say one of the best & generous dinner I've been with such fantastic
selection.


Ah...each table was named after a model of the L.U.C... I think this table was L.U.C Fleurier...











Running through the logistics...


Mr.Maxime Labey, Managing Director of Chopard Asia,  Ms. Julien Wong, Marketing Manager of Chopard Asia,
Mr. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President & Owner of Chopard  and Mr. Patrick Tan, Head of Sincere Watch Academy.

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...

Perfect suits with TimeWerke magazine (photos)

 
 By: MTF : November 2nd, 2007-09:58
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...

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...

Just wondering what is the RRP (or approx. entry point price) for this outstanding watch, the LUC Chrono One. Cheers.

If I remember correctly...

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... 

Wow..that's a tough question...
