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.

Reliably driving the hour, minute and second functions, this movement,
entirely designed, developed and produced in-house at
Chopard, is just
3.3 mm thick – a technical feat achieved by an ingenious offset
micro-rotor made of delicately engraved gold. Equipped with a double
barrel (Twin® technology) ensuring more than 65-hour power reserve, the
L.U.C 96.12-L movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per
hour.

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.
