Chopard has unveiled yet another masterpiece that celebrates the pinnacle of Swiss watchmaking: the L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual. Crafted with an unparalleled blend of technical mastery and aesthetic refinement, this extraordinary timepiece features the groundbreaking L.U.C Calibre 96.36-L—a high complication movement that combines a flying tourbillon with a perpetual calendar. A testament to Chopard Manufacture’s relentless pursuit of innovation, this creation represents a new milestone in their illustrious legacy.
Housed in a meticulously redesigned 40.5 mm case crafted from ethical 18-carat yellow gold, the L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual is the epitome of elegance. Its slender bassiné profile exudes timeless sophistication, further accentuated by the hand-guilloché Forest Green dial. This intricate detail not only enhances the watch’s visual appeal but also reflects the Maison’s dedication to preserving traditional artisanal techniques. With an interchangeable strap system, the timepiece adapts effortlessly to any occasion, offering a seamless fusion of style and practicality.
At the heart of this marvel lies the L.U.C Calibre 96.36-L, a movement of extraordinary complexity and precision. Comprising 319 meticulously engineered components, it is both a technical and artistic triumph. The perpetual calendar ensures flawless accuracy, requiring no manual adjustments until the year 2100—a nod to the brilliance of horological design. Meanwhile, the flying tourbillon, with its unobstructed views and stop-second functionality, not only enhances precision but also captivates with its hypnotic motion. Certified by the COSC and adorned with the prestigious Poinçon de Genève, this calibre is a hallmark of excellence.
The aesthetic allure extends beyond the movement. The domed sapphire crystal and satin-brushed case sides complement the bezel’s refined curves, creating a harmonious profile. The hand-guilloché dial radiates artistry, with sunburst and snailed patterns that frame the gold hour markers and hands. A twin aperture at 12 o’clock prominently displays the date, while other indicators, including a day/night display, are thoughtfully arranged for optimal legibility.
Chopard’s commitment to craftsmanship is evident in every detail of the L.U.C Flying T Twin Perpetual. From the chamfered and polished movement components to the heritage-inspired case design, this timepiece embodies the highest standards of Swiss watchmaking. Its versatility is further enhanced by the interchangeable strap system, allowing wearers to express their individuality with ease.
Since its inception in 1997, the L.U.C collection has epitomized Chopard’s dedication to horological excellence. The Flying T Twin Perpetual continues this tradition, solidifying the brand’s reputation as a beacon of innovation and artistry. For collectors and connoisseurs, this timepiece is more than an object of beauty—it is a celebration of the artistry and ingenuity that define haute horlogerie.
