BaselWorld 2014 : L.U. Chopard XPS 35mm - The first L.U.C model for ladies
Since its launch, the L.U.C XPS has become a true classic greatly appreciated for its discreet elegance and technical refinement. In 2014, Chopard begins writing a new chapter in the history of the L.U.C watch collection by unveiling two models intended for both a masculine and feminine audience.
L.U.C XPS 35
The diameter of the stellar L.U.C XPS ultra-thin model has been reduced in the new L.U.C XPS 35 mm model designed as much for men as for women. Fitting a self-winding movement endowed with two barrels and a 65-hour power reserve inside a 7.10 mm ultra-thin case is no mean feat – and one that the master-watchmakers of Chopard Manufacture were able to accomplish by means of a clever construction based on a micro-rotor and providing a magnificent view of Calibre L.U.C 96.12-L through the transparent case-back.
Aesthetic refinement for Him and Her
The new L.U.C XPS 35 mm is characterised by its light, dynamic, timeless and supremely balanced lines. The first understated and distinguished model features a sunburst satin-brushed silver-toned dial surrounded by an 18-carat polished rose gold case and further enhanced by a hand-sewn brown alligator strap. The second delightfully elegant model, with its diamond-set 18-carat rose gold bezel framing a shimmering white mother-of-pearl dial with delicately brilliant-set hour-markers, is teamed with a grey brushed canvas strap.
These watches are certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) – a prestigious seal of approval greatly prized by Chopard and which adds to the numerous intrinsic qualities of these exceptional timepieces.
