CHOPARD – L.U.C XPS 1860 Ultra-Thin Chronometer















CHOPARD L.U.C XPS 1860 Ultra-Thin Chronometer NEW

Ultimate sophistication

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ....                 BIG FOTO







































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.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ....                 BIG FOTO







































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.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ....                 BIG FOTO






























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.

CHOPARD L.U.C XPS - Calibre L.U.C 96.03-L

Its rose gold version bears the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark that distinguishes the quality of its construction and its finishing as well as its resilience to the trials of daily life, while also guaranteeing its exclusive nature. This refinement and these certifications represent both the full maturity and the complete mastery achieved by Chopard Manufacture.
