The L.U.C Perpetual Twin is endowed with the mechanical excellence of Chopard complications while housing its perpetual calendar movement within a stainless steel 43 mm case.
The L.U.C Perpetual Twin offers a new approach to the perpetual calendar ensuring maximum readability. A large twin-aperture date display, a flagship complication of the L.U.C collection, is positioned at 12 o’clock, while the days and months each have their own dedicated outsized subdial. Finally, the year indication has been miniaturised and offset to the months dial. The February indication location reveals whether or not the year is a leap year like 2016 will be.
The L.U.C Perpetual Twin asserts itself at first glance through a strong aesthetic picking up the key characteristics of the L.U.C collection. Large polished and raised Roman numerals run around the rim of the silver-toned dial, while a finely sunburst motif radiates from the L.U.Chopard logo. Alternating matt and polished finishes create a delightful shimmering effect on the timepiece.
Based on the micro-rotor technique coupled with two barrels (patented Twin® technology), the mechanical self-winding L.U.C 96.51-L calibre supplies the watch with a 58-hour power reserve. The movement is finished in accordance with the highest aesthetic standards. Its components are all hand-bevelled and their surface is either circular-grained or adorned with a Côtes de Genève motif. Finally, its chronometric rating precision is certified by the COSC.
The watch is fitted with a hand-sewn black alligator leather, with alligator leather lining and steel pin buckle.
