The L.U.C Collection is a tribute to watchmaker Louis-Ulysse
Chopard. The watchmaker already added the L.U.C Perpetual Chrono to the collection earlier this year, and the L.U.C XPS 1860 is the newest addition.
The watch pays tribute to the first L.U.C timepiece, the
L.U.C 1860, which debuted 20 years ago. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Chopard Manufacture, which produces the line completely in-house.
There are two watches replica in the collection, both are powered by the Calibre 96.01-L, which is the first in-house movement created by the
manufacture. The dial has a hand-guilloché motif within the center and a sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock.
The watch is a 250-piece limited edition.
About Chopard
It all began in 1860 in the small village of Sonvilier, Switzerland. Here Louis-Ulysse Chopard, a talented young craftsman, established his workshop. By virtue of their precision and reliability, his watches replica quickly gained a solid reputation among enthusiasts and found buyers as far afield as Eastern Europe, Russia and Scandinavia.In 1921, the founder’s son, Paul Louis Chopard, opened a branch in La Chaux-de-Fonds and then relocated the company headquarters there. In 1937, he moved the firm to Geneva, the capital of Haute Horlogerie, or Fine Watchmaking, thereby bringing it closer to its cosmopolitan clientele. In 1943, Paul André Chopard, grandson of Louis-Ulysse, took the helm. Discover more about Chopard here.
