L.U.C XPS

Less is more
 
Technical sophistication, aesthetic refinement, understated design. Since its launch in 2006, the L.U.C XP has become a classic. This new version features two noteworthy innovations: a sapphire crystal enabling one to admire the beauty of the movement; and a small seconds display at 6 o’clock.
 
Accommodating a self-winding movement with twin barrels and a 65-hour power reserve inside an ultra-thin case is no mean feat. The watchmakers of Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier have accomplished this by means of a clever construction featuring a micro rotor. The designers have also perfectly conceived the large diameter (39.50 mm) round case with its flat bezel and slender case band – resulting in light, dynamic, timeless and supremely balanced lines composing a model that won first prize in the ultra-thin watch category in the 2006 Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix.
 
In response to the wishes of men with a taste for fine horological mechanisms, Chopard has equipped its new L.U.C XPS with a sapphire crystal back providing an admirable view of the L.U.C 12.96 movement and its bridges adorned with a straight “Côtes de Genève” motif. The other new feature is the seconds indication that now appears at 6 o’clock on the elegantly understated dial. Crafted in 18-carat white gold with a black dial or in 18-carat rose gold with a silvered dial, these two new variations embodying an ideal blend of aesthetic appeal and technical performance are both duly certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).
