L.U.C Time Traveler One Black Interpreting a vision of Fine Watchmaking open to the world
As freedom of travel becomes a reality once more for some, Chopard brings a lightweight wearability to its most prestigious watch for globetrotters: the L.U.C Time Traveler One Black, a worldtime watch crafted by the artisans of Chopard Manufacture, produced as a limited edition of 250 pieces, according to the most sophisticated Fine Watchmaking criteria. It introduces a monochrome style ideal for the fast-paced lives of global citizens. Along with the L.U.C. GMT One Black, it is the world’s first travel watch in ceramised grade 5 titanium, a material that is both ultra-light and very hard- wearing. Beating inside this timepiece is a movement of exceptional quality and invention: calibre L.U:C 01-05-L, created entirely in- house. This stunning fusion of innovative technology and traditional handcraft gives rise to the ultimate timepiece of a new generation of gentlemen travellers.
World time within reach The L.U.C. Time Traveler One Black timepiece is an interpretation by Chopard Manufacture of one of watchmaking’s noblest travel complications: the worldtimer, showing the time in 24 zones around the world simultaneously. A symbol of travel at its most sophisticated and elegant, the worldtimer is also a valuable tool for those doing business in multiple corners of the world at any one time.
The L.U.C Time Traveler One Black achieves the feat of displaying complex information with absolute clarity via a series of concentrically arranged discs. A central date disc, indicated by a discreet hand, is surrounded by a chapter display for the hours and minutes of the local time zone, with Dauphine hands in the elegant style characterising the L.U.C collection, adjusted by a crown positioned at 2 o’clock.
The latter serves to adjust the time in the main time zone. A second crown at 4 o’clock is used to turn the disc bearing the reference cities of 24 time zones, synchronised on the city disc with local time. Wherever the wearer finds himself at a given moment, when the city for the local time zone is set to the 12 o’clock position, all the time zones around the globe will be correctly displayed.
L.U.C Quattro A new aesthetic for an exceptional watch
Chopard L.U.C Quattro models, beating to the rhythm of one of the greatest success stories of Chopard Manufacture, the four-barrel L.U.C 98.01-L movement launched in 2005. One of the two elegant and refined interpretations comes with a rose gold case framing a brown dial, while the other is the first of its kind in platinum, with a blue-grey dial. They are bound to delight devotees of Haute Horlogerie as well as those with a penchant for distinctive design.
A unique movement, patented technology Hand-wound L.U.C Calibre 98-01.L is equipped with four stacked, series-coupled barrels. This patented technology enables the L.U.C Quattro to enjoy more than nine days of operating autonomy and a constant regularity of rate ensuring it meets all the requirements for certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). The exhibition back will enable aficionados of fine horological mechanisms to admire the L.U.C 98.01-L movement with its bridges bearing Côtes de Genève and stamped with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, a guarantee of its quality and its impeccable finishing.
