Description

L.U.C 1860
Ref. Number: 168860-3005
L.U.C 1860 celebrates 30 years of the Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier by reinterpreting one of its most emblematic creations. Faithful to the elegant proportions of the original, this refined timepiece pairs a 36.5 mm Lucent Steel™ case with a hand-guilloché “Bleu Areuse” dial inspired by the river flowing through the Val-de-Travers region. At its heart beats the COSC-certified L.U.C 96.40-L calibre, a direct descendant of the Manufacture’s first movement, combining a micro-rotor, Chopard Twin technology and a 65-hour power reserve. Finished to the standards of the prestigious Geneva Seal, it embodies three decades of watchmaking excellence.

Entirely developed, produced and assembled in Chopard's Haute Horlogerie workshops and chronometer-certified by the COSC, the L.U.C 96.40-L mechanical self-winding movement is based on the first caliber developed by Chopard Manufacture in 1996. It beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and has a 65-hour power reserve thanks to Twin Technology, a system invented by Chopard that combines two coaxial barrels. This mechanism represents a remarkable technical feat given the extreme thinness of the movement, which is just 3.3 mm thick. This movement bearing the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark is wound by means of a 22-carat gold micro-rotor.
