The COSC certification, Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark and Fleurier Quality Foundation label united in a single model : an unprecedented achievement! The new L.U.C Triple Certification Tourbillon is indeed the first watch in the world to bear the three most prestigious Swiss watchmaking certifications. An impressive feat, especially since they have been earned by a tourbillon, one of the horological complications most sensitive to wear and reliability tests. To provide an appropriate environment for this major first, Chopard Manufacture has adopted a resolutely understated approach. The 43 mm rose gold case echoes the new curves of the L.U.C collection featuring polished and satin-brushed lugs entirely redesigned to enhance wearer comfort. The concern for optimal readability is also clearly present in this model that only 100 devotees of exceptional mechanical watchmaking will enjoy the privilege of wearing.
