Description

L.U.C Full Strike
Ref. Number: 168604-3001
The L.U.C Full Strike – 2017 winner of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève – is taking on a new color. This latest version of Chopard’s first-ever minute repeater watch is arrayed in shades of gray. It loses none of its revolutionary technical character, nor its unique sound quality. The hours, quarters, and minutes are marked by hammers hitting sapphire gongs for a crystal-clear chime. This is a truly outstanding watch, set apart by its original design, its hardened carburised Lucent Steel™ case, the superb Poinçon de Genève finishes, and above all, its extraordinary melodiousness. Sophisticated and easy to wear, it embodies the very best of the expertise, inventiveness and quality that distinguish the L.U.C collection.

L.U.C Full Strike

Identity

A blend of heritage and modernity

In the midst of the 1990s, when traditional watchmaking was striving to recover from the sweeping influence of the quartz crisis, Chopard Co-President, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele created a workshop responsible for developing the first in-house calibre to pay tribute to the legacy of the Maison's founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard. Named L.U.C 96.01-L, the automatic micro-rotor movement, versatile and unrivalled at the time, marked the birth of Chopard Manufacture and the L.U.C. luxury watch collection.
