L.U.C Full Strike, perfect and balanced elegance 2026

The 20th anniversary of a successful and brilliant career such as that ofChopardmust be celebrated in a big way, and to carry it out the House has created the original and extraordinaryL.U.C Full Strike. The company's first minute repeater watch that marks the hours, quarters and minutes in sapphire chimes, entirely developed, manufactured and assembled by the company.Chopard Manufacturing.

The original concept ofL.U.C Full Strike,The excellence of its finishes, according to the criteria of the Geneva punch and, above all, its extraordinary sound, make it a watch completely different from the others. Distinguished and easy to carry, it houses within it the best of know-how, inventiveness and quality, characteristics of theL.U.C collection.

El L.U.C Full Strike, with a limited edition of 20 pieces, is an exceptional watch because by marking the hours, quarters and minutes on transparent crystal chimes it becomes a perfect speaker that faithfully broadcasts the tinkling sound produced by the hammers hitting the sapphire, visible at 10 o'clock. The result is a sound of unmatched purity, rich and full, powerful and resonant. The image of a crystalline sound takes on authentic meaning here. HeL.U.C Full StrikeIt sounds like a Bohemian crystal glass being delicately tapped with a silver knife.

But behind this acoustic result lies one of the most sophisticated and inventive movements that theChopard Manufacturinghas ever created, the caliber 08.01-L. A movement where all components are carefully finished, either with pearlescent orCôtes de Genèveor through drawn lines. HeL.U.C Full StrikeIt has enough energy reserve to ring twelve times to strike the longest hour that exists in the language of minute repeaters: 12:59.

Accumulating beauty in the details, extremely careful finishes and a crystalline and full sound, theL.U.C Full Strike, with a design in 18ct “Fairmined” rose gold, embodies in itself the full extent of the watchmaking skills ofChopard.

Twenty years after the creation of theChopard Manufacturing, the House presents an extraordinary execution of the minute repeater watch, easy to wear in daily life, which reveals its true delicacy only to an attentive and expert ear like that of the modern gentleman and lover of exceptional objects.
