Developed as a tribute to the visionary founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard, the first in-house caliber by Chopard marked a defining moment in the Maison’s horological legacy. This automatic micro-rotor movement heralded the debut of the prestigious L.U.C. collection and affirmed Chopard’s stature as a true manufacturer of haute horology.
At the heart of this exceptional timepiece lies the L.U.C. Caliber 1.96, a movement distinguished by its guilloche gold micro-rotor and COSC-certified.
This particular example is presented as a limited edition, featuring an orbital moon phase complication set against a beautiful silver and black dial. It is further enhanced by a perpetual calendar, offering indications for the day, date, month, and leap year. This wonderful timepiece is an embodiment of sophistication and timeless elegance.
