Chopard L.U.C. 4T

Thursday, December 3, 2009

Famous for its original jewellery novelties, Chopard is also one of the companies on the small list of those who produce watchmaker’s gauges. The special features of the L.U.C. 4T consist not in the tourbillon itself (which has no particularly distinguishing characteristics), but first in its nine-day movement reserve, which is fairly large for a tourbillon watch and, secondly, in the revolutionary construction of the balance wheel with its inertia mini-blocks. Basically, this model could serve as a good example of a classical ‘watch with a hole’.

Only 100 models of this watch have been made: half in pink gold; half in platinum.
