Introduced in 2003, this is the first “L.U.C” watch equipped with a “L.U.C. 1.02″calibre with Tourbillon. The mechanical hand-wound movement with four barrels (L.U.C Quattro technology) ensures a power-reserve of 9 days.
Adjustment of daily rating is ensured by the rotation of small inertia-blocks on a patented “Variner” type balance. The precision of this model is guaranteed by the COSC chronometer certification, while the “Poinçon de Genève” quality hallmark testifies to the high level of finish of this exceptional creation.
The hour and minute hands as well as the power-reserve indication are in gold. The “one minute” tourbillon at 6 o’clock carries a blued steel seconds hand while the power-reserve is indicated over the arc of a circle positioned at 12 o’clock.
The CHOPARD L.U.C. 4T watch was produced in two limited numbered series: 100 in 18ct rose gold and 100 in 950 platinum.
