Chopard’s L.U.C XPS 1860 pays homage to the Swiss watchmaker’s original L.U.C 1860, launched 20 years ago. The timepiece’s thin, 7.20 mm case, with its 18-karat rose gold crown and glare-proof sapphire crystal, is complemented by the hand-engraved guilloché motif on the dial. The watch runs on a 65-hour power reserve movement with a date display, both rare functions for the slim watch category. The inner workings contain a 22-karat gold micro-rotor and the Calibre 96.01-L, Chopard’s first in-house movement. Compatible with a sleek suit or a casual sport coat, this chronometer expresses understated elegance that’s elevated by its matte brown hand-sewn alligator leather strap.
