Launched in 1996, Chopard’s L.U.C. segment (named after Chopard's founder) was set up to commemorate Chopard's heritage as a high-precision movement manufacturer. Perhaps the ultimate expression of Chopard's watchmaking prowess, watches produced by L.U.C. include some of the most laboriously produced movements to come from Switzerland. The processes used to produce these movements include delicate hand finishing, accurate assembly, tedious testing, and careful casing. In 2004, Chopard and Parmigiani Fleurier even came together to create a certification to attest that 100% of a watch head was made in Switzerland, an attempt to combat the Swiss Government's lackluster definition of "Swiss Made” whereby only 60% of the value of a watch has to come from Switzerland. Ever since its inception, Chopard’s L.U.C. timepieces have become celebrated pieces of horology, and this limited edition GMT of only 1860 pieces is no different with its beautiful blue guilloche dial, stunning movement, and wonderfully classical 38mm x 10mm 18kt white gold case. A dress watch in style, but far more than that, this timepiece boasts a date and a second time zone set around an AM/PM indicator that introduces some grey to the dial alongside another guilloche pattern that contrasts the pattern found the rest of the dial, thus drawing attention to the craftsmanship and attention to detail required to produce this wonderful watch.

With L.U.C. showcasing the very best that Chopard has to offer it is no surprise that this L.U.C. GMT is as stunning and as well-made as it is with its elegant dial, luxurious construction and impressive movement.
