Chopard - L.U.C XPS Twist QF Ref. 161945-1001

This is the case of the Chopard L.U.C XPS Twist QF, a 250-piece limited edition crafted using ethically certified “Fairmined” white gold which creatively plays with the offset positions of the crown and the small seconds sub-dial. Water resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet, the Chopard L.U.C XPS Twist QF Ref. 161945-1001 has a price of Swiss Francs 19,800.
In Haute Horlogerie symmetry is generally considered a value but, sometimes, breaking its reassuring balance can add a "twist" to a timepiece.

Chopard L.U.C XPS Twist QF Ref. 161945-1001

This is the case of the Chopard L.U.C XPS Twist QF, a 250-piece limited edition which creatively plays with the offset positions of the crown and the small seconds sub-dial.

The 40 mm round case, crafted using ethically certified “Fairmined” white gold, houses a blue-grey dial where the small seconds sub-dial at 7 o’clock is the visual focal point, as emphasized by the circular satin-brushed motif radiating out from it.

The words Qualité Fleurier appear beneath the name L.U.C to certify the high quality of the timepiece. This certification involves passing five tests relating to five key qualities. Precision by ensuring that each model is submitted to the COSC. Durability and reliability by means of Chronofiable tests. Precision in actual wear by spending 24 hours on the Fleuritest simulator. Fine craftsmanship, by meeting the finishing criteria of Haute Horlogerie. And finally, manufacturing 100% performed in Switzerland.

The Calibre 96.26-L driving the 250 timepieces of this limited edition is a variation of Calibre 96.01-L offset by 30 degrees. Like the original movement, it is distinguished by its slim 3.3 mm size, which made it possible to house this new model in an exceptionally thin case (just 7.70 mm).

Its self-winding mechanism is powered by an engraved 22-carat gold micro-rotor the high inertia of which enables optimal efficiency. Calibre 96.26-L powers two stacked barrels based on Chopard’s patented Twin structure. Together, they guarantee 65 hours of running time, which is remarkable for an ultra-thin timepiece.

“Fairmined” gold is sourced from artisanal mining cooperatives, where both the environment and miners are treated correctly, and to which Chopard pays a premium to be reinvested in community projects. Chopard is currently the main global purchaser of “Fairmined” gold. Since July 2018, the Maison has been using 100% ethical gold for the production of all its watches and jewellery.

The watch is completed by a hand-sewn matt blue-grey alligator leather strap secured to the wrist by a white gold pin buckle.

Water resistant to 30 metres / 100 feet, the Chopard L.U.C XPS Twist QF Ref. 161945-1001 has a price of Swiss Francs 19,800. chopard.com
