The 250-piece limited edition crafted in Fairmined gold bears testament to our commitment to sustainable and ethical luxury through ‘The Journey’ project initiative launched in 2013. It also illustrates the increasing use of ethical gold in our creations.

Ongoing ethical commitment
This watch highlights our long term partnership with the South American NGO, The Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), and the organisation behind the Fairmined standard for gold extracted by small-scale and artisanal methods mines.

To ensure the traceability of the Fairmined gold, we have created a segregation process in our workshops in Geneva, ensuring that Fairmined gold is not mixed at any stage with other types of gold. Gold waste is also dealt with separately.

The case-back, middle case and bezel of the new L.U.C XPS Fairmined are entirely made of Fairmined gold; a certification which guaranties that the gold has been responsibly mined and the miners have received fair payment and an overall premium. The L.U.C XPS Fairmined is made in accordance with the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC) ethical benchmarking.

The new L.U.C XPS Fairmined is a continuation of The Journey to Sustainable Luxury project that began in 2013 and follows the launch at Baselworld 2014, of the L.U.C Tourbillon QF Fairmined, the world’s first watch made from gold bearing the Fairmined certification.

Whilst perfectly encapsulating the profound ethical commitment embedded in the core values of Chopard, the new L.U.C XPS Fairmined also embodies authentic watchmaking expertise. It houses mechanical self-winding L.U.C Calibre 96.12-L, certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), a sure token of reliability and precision.

With its meticulously chamfered bridges adorned with Côtes de Genève and visible through the open case-back, as well as its circular-grained and chamfered main plate, this exceptional mechanism reveals finishes that are the unmistakable signature of haute horlogerie watches.

The discreet elegance of a grand classic
The L.U.C XPS Fairmined with its pure, restrained design is distinguished by its inherent elegance. Presented in a Fairmined 18-carat rose gold case, its sleek modern lines feature a 39.5 mm diameter and a thickness of just 7.13 mm. The hours and minutes are marked off on a subtle sunburst satin-brushed slate-grey galvanic dial enhanced with gilt Dauphine hands sweeping over slender gilt hour-markers matching the polished rose gold of the case.
