L.U.C Lunar One

Since 2005, the first "calendar and astronomy" complication developed by Chopard Manufacture and named L.U.C Lunar One has featured a self-winding mechanical movement with a perpetual calendar as well as a precision orbital moon-phase display. This moon-phase mechanism is exceptionally accurate, deviating by just one day every 122 years. L.U.C Calibre 96.13-L now powers a newly redesigned timepiece, whose profile has been reshaped in line with the latest L.U.C aesthetic.

Crafted in 18-carat ethical white gold, the case features a bassine shape, meaning its base is narrower than its domed, polished bezel. Reflecting craftsmanship inspired by the pocket watches that emerged from Louis-Ulysse Chopard’s creative heritage in the 19^th century, this distinctive profile creates an impressive sense of visual sophistication. This new case with its vertical satin-brushed sides is paired with a curved, fluted crown that is not only elegant but also easy to handle. The slightly domed sapphire crystal perfectly matches the curves of the bezel, giving the watch a rounded, harmonious profile. Further demonstrating the fine craftsmanship of this timepiece, the lugs are made separately before being welded to the case to ensure a perfect aesthetic result. The dial, meticulously hand-guilloché using traditional artisanal techniques, ensures optimal legibility of its indications. Additionally, an ingenious interchangeable strap system offers wearers a variety of options.

While the movement’s accuracy is chronometer-certified, the exceptional quality of this L.U.C Lunar One model’s finishing has also earned it the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark.
