With the new L.U.C Flying T Twin timepiece, Chopard unveils its first calibre equipped with a flying tourbillon. As technical as it is aesthetic, it also stands out for its remarkable appearance: a hand-guilloché gold dial, impeccable proportions and an ultra-thin case in ethical pink gold make it an exceptional timepiece in the L.U.C. collection. Extremely refined, this limited series of 50 designed for contemporary gentlemen connoisseurs of fine watchmaking is certified by the Hallmark of Geneva.

The L.U.C 96.24 L calibre marks an important milestone in Chopard Manufacture’s pursuit of refined, ultra thin Haute Horlogerie. The Maison’s first self winding flying tourbillon movement, introduced in 2019, unites technical sophistication with elegant proportions, measuring a mere 3.30 mm in thinness. At the core of its architecture lies Chopard’s L.U.C Twin technology, featuring two stacked barrels that provide a steady 65 hour power reserve while preserving the calibre’s remarkably slender profile. The movement’s flying tourbillon - distinguished by its absence of an upper bridge - is supported solely from below, creating the impression of a mechanism suspended within the aperture and contributing to a sense of visual lightness. In addition to its aesthetic refinement, the L.U.C 96.24 L is one of the rare tourbillon calibres equipped with a stop seconds function, enabling precise time setting. This level of accuracy is validated by its Chronometer certification from the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). Every component is meticulously finished in accordance with the standards of the Poinçon de Genève Quality Hallmark, underscoring the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define the L.U.C collection and its dedication to noble watchmaking.
