The elegant and distinctive L.U.C XPS pays homage to the first watch in the L.U.C collection: the L.U.C 1860 launched 20 years ago at the creation of Chopard Manufacture. This model with its superb dial and ultra-thin case is a contemporary interpretation of a great classic, combining discreet elegance and sobriety with the Chopard Manufacture movements: the calibres L.U.C 96.01-L and L.U.C 96.03-L.

Designed as a classic timepiece for modern gentlemen, the L.U.C. XPS 1860 belongs to the line of ultra-thin Chopard watches and features a small seconds dial and a date display at 6 o’clock. The year 1860 refers to the date when Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded his watch manufactory.

In 1996, following the creation of Chopard Manufacture, Chopard presented its first contemporary L.U.C watch, the L.U.C 1860. Like the latter, the L.U.C. XPS 1860 is distinguished by its respect for the grand watchmaking traditions and for chronometry or timekeeping precision – two key elements that Chopard Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele was determined to incorporate within the L.U.C collection.

A distinctively elegant watch

The supremely elegant L.U.C 1860 foreshadowed the ultra-slim trend. With its ultra-slim case featuring refined finishing, its contemporary Dauphine-type hands, its elegant hour-markers, the L.U.C. XPS 1860 offers a new take on this historical watch. Like all L.U.C watches, it is entirely dedicated to its owner’s service.

Epicureans will thus find in the L.U.C XPS 1860 an essential wardrobe item, a watch that becomes indispensable through its technical qualities, its inner beauty and its outward style. Its strength stems from the breadth of its possibilities. Just as a double-breasted grey flannel jacket can be worn with a matching or deliberately mismatched pair of trousers, so too, the L.U.C XPS 1860 plays several roles with equal panache.

An object endowed with exceptional finishing

The L.U.C XPS 1860 is a decidedly contemporary timepiece. The L.U.C. XPS 1860 has a 40 mm diameter that makes it truly universal. Its short, ergonomic lugs ensure a perfect fit on even the smallest wrists. With a total thickness of just 7.2 mm, it is very much part of the ultra-thin category. The L.U.C. XPS 1860 comes in a choice of versions with an 18-carat rose gold or stainless steel case.

Its elegance is enhanced by its distinctive dial, featuring a central part bearing a sophisticated hand-guilloché motif on the rose gold version and a sunburst satin-brushed pattern on the stainless steel version. Both finishes radiate from the logo at 12 o’clock.

Precision and fine craftsmanship dedicated to gentlemen

The L.U.C collection watchmaking approach goes far beyond a mere interpretation of a fine classic. Not only is the L.U.C XPS 1860 an ultra-slim and elegant watch, but it is also one made for today’s men.  Its Calibre 96.01-L, the first movement created by Chopared Manufacture, is automatically wound via a 22-carat gold micro-rotor, a rare horological speciality that is practical as well as ensuring slimness.

CHOPARD L.U.C XPS - Calibre L.U.C 96.01-L

It is endowed with Twin® technology, ensuring a 65-hour power reserve well beyond the usual standards for ultra-thin watches. Moreover, the L.U.C. XPS 1860 is one of the very rare ultra-thin watches to display the date. Like all L.U.C watches with a seconds indication, it is chronometer-certified by the COSC.

This refinement and these certifications represent both the full maturity and the complete mastery achieved by Chopard Manufacture.

BREGUET – Héritage Grande Date 5410 Rose Gold


















BREGUETHéritage 5410 Grande Date Rose Gold 45 NEW

The Héritage line by Breguet 
gives a 21st century twist to a classic repertoire.

Curved along two axes in a “tonneau” or barrel shape ensuring a perfect fit on the wrist, Héritage timepieces are the epitome of technical mastery. This year, Breguet sought out to broaden the range of complications with the Héritage Grande Date 5410 model. The keenly appreciated date indication enthroned at 12 o’clock enlivens a finely crafted silvered gold face reflecting the double curvature of the case.

Delicate engine-turned motifs create a wealth of structural and depth effects that both highlight and delineate the other functions of the model and thus ensure enhanced legibility. The chapter ring, bearing large transferred Roman numerals coated with a luminescent substance, surrounds the minute scale. These indications are complemented by a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.

The new Héritage Grande Date 5410 model houses Calibre 5166, a movement endowed with the technological innovations in the field of materials achieved by Breguet over the past years. A silicon balance-spring notably enhances the model’s performance, endowing it with exceptional precision and reliability.

Clothed in 18-carat rose or white gold, the 45 x 32 mm Héritage Grande Date 5410 timepiece rounds out the collection composed of both men’s and ladies’ models. The large date thus joins existing complications such as a chronograph, a tourbillon and a retrograde moon phase.
