Discover the refined L.U.C 1860 Flying Tourbillon watch by Chopard, featuring a compact size, luxurious design, and exquisite craftsmanship.

Chopard has introduced the latest version of their L.U.C 1860 flying tourbillon watch, showcasing a compact 36.5mm case and the brand's first in-house movement known as calibre 1.96. This timepiece is a testament to Chopard's commitment to high-end watchmaking and quiet luxury.

The L.U.C 1860 Flying Tourbillon features a stunning hand-guilloché dial and a hinged, hunter-style caseback that reveals the exceptional in-house movement. The watch is limited to just 10 pieces, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.

One of the highlights of this watch is its compact size, measuring just 7.2mm in thickness. Chopard was able to achieve this by reducing the diameter of the tourbillon calibre L.U.C 96.24-L to 36.5mm. Despite its smaller dimensions, the watch maintains perfect proportions and is a testament to Chopard's craftsmanship.

The case of the L.U.C 1860 Flying Tourbillon is made of 18k Fairmined yellow gold, reflecting Chopard's commitment to ethical sourcing. The dial is also made of the same gold material and features a refined hand-guilloché pattern. The hour markers and hands are rhodium-plated for a touch of elegance.

The flying tourbillon on this watch is particularly noteworthy, as it is showcased without an upper bridge, allowing for an unimpeded view of its rotations. The tourbillon also features a small white hand that indicates the seconds, a requirement for COSC chronometer certification.

The L.U.C 1860 Flying Tourbillon is powered by the calibre L.U.C 96.24-L, which boasts a robust power reserve of 65 hours. The movement is decorated with high-end finishings to secure the Poinçon de Genève certification, and it is the only Poinçon de Genève watch to also receive COSC chronometer certification.

This exquisite timepiece comes with a green-black alligator leather strap and an ethical yellow gold pin buckle. It is a limited edition of just 10 pieces and is sure to be highly coveted by collectors and connoisseurs of fine watches.
