CHOPARD – L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual "Forest Green" Yellow Gold

  

CHOPARD – L.U.C  Flying T Twin Perpetual "Forest Green" 40,50 mm Yellow Gold 2025   

Chopard Manufacture is laying a new milestone in its history with L.U.C Calibre 96.36 L, an original high complication mo vement pairing a flying tourbillon and a perpetual calendar with large date display. The L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual timepiece reflects the finest expertise and innovation cultivated by the Maison’s workshops It features a case in ethical 18-carat yellow gold measuring 40.5 millimetres in diameter, with a slender, bassiné profile. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This aesthetic refinement extends to the highly legible Forest Green dial in hand guilloché gold and an ingenious interchangeable strap system treats the watch to a variety of styles. While the movement’s accuracy is chronometer certified, the high quality finishing of this exceptional model has also earned it Poinçon de Genève recognition.

L.U.C Calibre 96.36 L: an high complication movement

The art of Chopard Manufacture consists in appropriating complications by enriching them with its distinctive innovative vision, as well as assembling them in new and ingenious ways. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The history of Chopard Manufacture since 1996 has been dotted with landmark innovative models, the most recent of which is L.U.C Calibre 96.36 L.

L.U.C Calibre 96.36 L

In 2013, the L.U.C Perpetual T model, Chopard's first tourbillon with perpetual calendar, made its mark on the history of the Manufacture. Six years later, it was followed by the no less innovative L.U.C Flying T Twin, constituting the Manufacture's first timepiece with flying tourbillon and automatic winding, as well as being the only one in its category to receive both Poinçon de Genève and chronometer certification.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Today, the L.U.C 96.36 L movement represents the culmination of these innovations. Illustrating the Manufacture's constant quest to excel, it unites the finest previous feats in an unprecedented technical development involving no fewer than 319 components. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Thanks to the micro rotor and Chopard Twin tech nology ’s two stacked barrels, the 6 mm thick movement associates the lightness of a flying tourbillon with all the gear trains enabling this model to provide day of the week and large date displays, as well as a month indication, requiring no manual adjust ments to keep track of variable month lengths and leap years. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The perpetual calendar will need only a one day correction on March 1st, 2100 not because of a fault in the mechanism, but due to the Gregorian calendar which stipulates that centuries are leap years only if divisible by 400. The movement’s accuracy also ensures instantaneous display of all the perpetual calendar indications.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Distinguished by the absence of an upper bridge, the flying tourbillon of the L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual timepiece enables unobstructed views. Equipped with a stop second function enabling the time to be set to the exact second, the tourbillon enhances the movement’s accuracy. This precision is chronometer certified by the COSC ( Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute ), as is the case for all L.U.C calibres with a seconds indication in this instance located on the tourbillon carriage.

A demonstration of technical virtuosity, the tourbillon invented in the 18th century to eliminate the influence of the Earth's gravity and isochronous forces is one of the most sophisticated horological complications. Chopard's flying tourbillon stems from several years of research and development, testifying to the Manufacture’s maturity.

Finally, thanks to the energy accumulated in the two stacked barrels using Chopard Twin technology, the L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual timepiece is endowed with a 65-hour power reserve.

The Poinçon de Genève : a guarantee of excellence

The L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual model testifies to the finest craftsmanship cultivated by Chopard. Several hundred made to measure tools are involved in reworking and hand trimming each rough cut component, before manually decorating it using traditional skills even if it is destined to remain concealed beneath a bridge. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Each creation is successively enhanced by chamfering, satin brushing, polishing, circular graining and Côtes de Genève patterns, followed by individual testing and hand assembly in the workshops.

The prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, to which Chopard has been loyal for many years, attests to this degree of artisanal skill and meticulous care. This aesthetic and technical certification is validated by an independent body and governed by a law instated by the Canton of Geneva. It im poses peerless criteria of excellence encompassing the case and movement, including their structure, appearance and precision. Since the launch of its first flying tourbillon calibre in 2019, all Chopard watch models equipped with it from the L.U.C Flying T Twin model to the Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon have earned this prestigious label of excellence. 

A slimmer, reshaped case

The L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual is the first high complication L.U.C model to benefit from the flying tourbillon and comes with a new case featuring a subtly refined design whose sophistication is on a par with the movement finishing. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

At 40.5 millimetres in diameter and 11.6 millimetres thick, it fits smoothly on any wrist. The case features a bassine shape, meaning its base is narrower than its domed, polished bezel. Reflecting craftsmanship inspired by the pocket watches that emerged from Louis Ulysse Chopard’s creative heritage in the 19th century, this distinctive profile creates an impressive sense of aesthetic refinement.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

This new case with its vertical satin brushed sides is paired with a curved, fluted crown that is not only elegant but also easy to handle. The slightly domed sapphire crystal perfectly matches the curves of the bezel, giving the watch a rounded, harmonious profile. Another sign of fine craftsmanship is that the lugs are made separately before being welded to the case to ensure a perfect aesthetic result. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Crafted in ethical gold, this reshaped case makes the L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual a timeless object for watchmaking connoisseurs and paves the way for the aesthetics of future timepieces in the collection.

The hand guilloché dial: a strong commitment to craftsmanship

Since the first L.U.C 1860 timepiece was presented in 1997, dials for L.U.C models have perpetuated a legacy reflecting the purest watchmaking tradition, in which the art of guilloché has become a collection signature. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Having teetered on the brink of extinction during the 1990s, this age old craft has survived thanks to the efforts of Manufactures such as Chopard, which still owns a few rare guilloché lathes with which specialised artisans guide their burins over fine metal surfaces to adorn them with repeating patterns accurate to a tenth of a millimetre.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Featuring a deep Forest Green shade, the dial of this new creation is itself naturally guilloché with a sunburst pattern radiating from the flying tourbillon opening at 6 o'clock, the focal point of this timepiece.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

A concentric snailed pattern runs around the dial periphery, below the minutes track. The hands and hour markers are in yellow gold. The Chopard perpetual calendar highlights the most frequently requested indication the date through a broad twin aperture at 12 o'clock, while the two gold rimmed perpetual calendar counters are also snailed, with the exception of the central section of one located at 9 o'clock. The latter is dedicated to the 24 hour indicator, which also serves as a day/night display. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The upper part (day) bears a sunburst pattern symbolising the presence of the Sun while the lower section is engraved with a horizontal motif evoking the serenity of the night. Ultimately, the arrangement of each indication is b oth aesthetically appealing and perfectly legible.

Interchangeable straps : a combination for every occasion

For the first time in the Chopard collections, this new model is equipped with an interchangeable strap system enabling its owner to vary styles and adapt to different outfits, occasions and activities. This extremely convenient new system is designed for quick, tool free swap outs via the case middle and clasp 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The aim is to guarantee the user friendliness and wearer comfort that are core to the Chopard philosophy. In addition to the two alligator leather and calfskin straps supplied with the tim epiece, each Chopard boutique will offer an assortment of additional straps in a variety of textures and colours.

The L.U.C collection: watchmaking excellence

In 1997, Chopard Manufacture launched the first watch to emerge from its watchmaking workshops: the L.U.C 1860, equipped with the L.U.C 96.01 L movement. Since then, through the L.U.C collection, it has accumulated mastery of all the major horological complications. Between Fleurier and Geneva, Chopard Manufacture conceives, develops, manufactures, assembles, decorates and certifies all its timepieces.

Thanks to Karl Friedrich Scheufele's commitment to watchmaking tradition combined with technical innovation, the Manufacture maintains a high level of finishing by preserving numerous artistic crafts and skills .

At the heart of the watchmaking savannah, H. Moser & Cie. captures the essence of rarity and unveils the Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy. Blending elegance and robustness, this model is equally at home on land and in water, with its 5N red gold case water-resistant to 12 ATM.

Behind its apparent simplicity lies a masterpiece of engineering: a tourbillon movement with a double hairspring, a symbol of excellence and precision. 

  Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Thanks to this pair of matched hairsprings, produced by H. Moser & Cie.'s sister company, Precision Engineering AG., the movement of the point of gravity on each spring when it expands is corrected, significantly improving accuracy and isochronism in continual pursuit of perfection.

In addition, the paired hairsprings also reduce the effect of friction normally experienced with a single hairspring, improving isochronism even further. 

  Click , to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Finally, thanks to its unique design, the tourbillon is an interchangeable module, assembled and regulated independently of the movement via a simple Plug & Play system which allows for easy servicing. The result is a watch which is equally at home in the urban jungle and the great outdoors.

The HMC 805 automatic Manufacture calibre replaces the HMC 804, providing clever updates such as a wider opening onto the mechanism through partially skeletonised bridges, combined with a highly contemporary anthracite grey finish.

This opening allows the gear train and bi-directional automatic winding system wheels to be viewed, while the rotor has also been bevelled so as to not obstruct the view of the movement, which still guarantees a power reserve of at least 3 days.

The Pioneer Tourbillon Burgundy is an invitation to explore the unknown, a celebration of audacity and refinement. Truly rare by nature, it embodies the DNA of H. Moser & Cie., where tradition meets innovation in a spirit of freedom.
