A true piece of haute horlogerie. This is the redesign of theChopard L.U.C Regulator watch, a historically accurate model with a manual winding movement that returns with a more modern and equally elegant staging. Thus, the new Chopard L.U.C Regulator, an example of off-center distribution on the dial, has replaced the avant-garde design of the indications of the L.U.C Regulator of 2006 with new indications of sharp typography. The golden minute hand remains in the center, giving it a perfect readability, which combines perfectly with the rest of the atypical indications: at twelve o'clock, the 216-hour power reserve proudly displays the autonomy of the L.U.C caliber 98.02-L on a graduated scale. At 3 o'clock, the hours and at 6 o'clock, a small seconds hand that marks the times. And finally, at 9am, the second time zone.
Without a doubt, the distribution ofChopard L.U.C RegulatorIt is different, atypical, which combines perfectly with an 18k rose gold case measuring 9.78mm thick and 43mm in diameter. A design that culminates a polished bezel, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a spectacular open caseback as well as a hand-stitched brown alligator strap and an 18k rose gold buckle. As I said, as elegant as ever, as modern as ever.
The LUC Regulator is the tribute to theChopard houseto those master clocks from the watchmaking workshops that served as a model to adjust the time to the rest of the machines. These watches had individual counters for hours, seconds and minutes and allowed highly accurate readings. A functionality that the model transferred to the pocket watch, a watch with COSC timekeeping certificate and the Punch of Geneva quality seal intended for lovers of the watchmaking workshop.
