15 November 2021

With the L.U.C Flying T Twin, the Chopard manufacture is presenting a classic wristwatch with a flying tourbillon. Housed in a flat gold case, it flaunts its deep blue dial with a guilloche pattern. Inside operates an in-house movement that offers both automatic winding via microrotor and a tourbillon stop-seconds mechanism. The watch is a limited edition of 50 pieces and available now.Gold Case With Classic DimensionsThe L.U.C Flying T Twin comes in a 40 mm case made of ethical white gold. The case height is a flat 7.2 mm. The manufacture puts vertical satin finishing on the side, while the bezel and the back are polished. The back also features the numbering and a window that reveals the movement. The crown bears the L.U.C branding and enables a water resistance of 30 metres.The Guilloche Dial References The Manufacture’s PastThe dial of the Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin is made of solid gold with a galvanic coating. In the centre is a hand-guilloched honeycomb pattern. This refers to the original logo of founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard, which depicted a beehive. Surrounding this central section are the hour markers on an azure wave-patterned hour-ring. The Chemin-de-Fer minute track and the L.U. Chopard lettering are gold-plated. Last but not least, two central dauphine hands indicate the hours and minutes. At 6 o’clock, the flying tourbillon makes its rounds and functions as a small seconds hand with the aid of a white triangle.The Movement Inside The Chopard L.U.C Flying T TwinThe movement L.U.C 96.24-L inside the watch consists of 189 parts and 25 rubies. Particularly noteworthy is the slim construction of only 3.3 mm. The movement offers automatic winding via a microrotor and a maximum power autonomy of 65 hours. The latter is provided by two stacked barrels, to which the “Twin” in the name of the watch also refers.The tourbillon at 6 o’clock does without the upper bridge, which makes it a “flying” tourbillon. Inside, a hairspring with a flat end curve operates at a frequency of 3.5 Hz. Last but not least, the manufacture succeeded in integrating a tourbillon stop, which allows the time to be set precisely. The certification with both the COSC Chronometer and the Poin?on de Gen¨¨ve hallmark also speaks for the high quality of the watch.Price & Availability of the Chopard L.U.C Flying T TwinThe Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin comes on a blue, hand-stitched strap made of alligator leather.
