Description

There are some watches that immediately catch the eye and the new L.U.C Tech Twist, cutting a distinctive figure and endowed with off-centred indications, is definitely one of them. This newcomer to the L.U.C collection is distinguished by its off-centred display and its crown cleverly placed at 4 o’clock. Whereas the hours and minutes are shown by central blued steel Dauphine hands coated with Superluminova for night-time visibility, the small seconds and the date pointer appear in a subdial at 7 o’clock, opening on to the heart of the movement. The beautifully finished mechanism of the new L.U.C 96 TB movement – adorned with a straight “Côtes de Genève” motif and grey engravings – may also be admired through an opening in the dial centre. The multi-level dial, featuring a small screw-down seconds-date subdial and applied hour-markers against a silver-coloured dial base, further reinforces the technical appearance of this model. Fitted with a sapphire crystal pane on the back, the steel case measuring 41 mm in diameter is water-resistant to 30 metres. At the heart of this timepiece combining technical and aesthetic appeal beats the new Calibre L.U.C 96 TB, characterised by it two stacked barrels (L.U.C Twin® technology) providing a power reserve of around 65 hours. In keeping with the spirit of Chopard Manufacture, this mechanical self-winding movement has successfully passed the precision and reliability tests imposed by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). Thanks to its mechanism, its technical appearance and its original display, the new L.U.C Tech Twist will doubtless be turning heads among genuine connoisseurs.
