Chopard L.U.C XPS Ultra Thin Classic Watch

by admin

Here’s another elegant looking timepiece from Chopard which they call as the Chopard L.U.C XPS . This timepiece is inspired of the Chopard L.U.C XP which they first introduced in 2006 and won the ultra thin category at Geneve Watchmaking Grand Prix.

Like just the original, this 2009 version called as Chopard L.U.C XPS also includes the slim and sleek looking silhouette which makes it easy and comfortable to wear. This timepiece is also available in different versions including the 18 carat white gold case with black dial, white gold with baguette diamonds, and the one shown above in red gold and white dial. The red gold version which we are featuring today gives this timepiece a classic look and makes it more attractive.

The white dial of this version is accented with red gold hour markers, numbers, and hands. This timepiece also includes a small seconds counter at 6 o’clock. For a more classic look, this Chopard L.U.C XPS is matched with a hand sewn brown alligator leather strap.

the history of chopard watches

by admin

In 1920 Chopard relocated to Geneva and launched into the production of quality watches.

In 1963 the Chopard Company was taken over by the young goldsmith and watchmaker Karl Scheufele, after Paul-Andre Chopard, the last master watchmaker who maintained the horological roots of the family, was forced to give up the business since his sons, following other careers, refused to manage the business. Paul-Andre agreed to sell the business to Karl Scheufele, who as the new head of the company, gained significant experience with watchmaking and jewelry making. He contributed to modernization of the company and added the jewelry segment into the Chopard watch production.

In 1975 the Chopard factory moved from the center of Geneva to Meyrin-Geneva. It marked a new stage for the company as it started producing ladies’ and jewelry timepieces. In 1976 Chopard introduced the Happy Diamonds collection. Watches from the collection featured mobile diamonds that floated freely between two transparent sapphire crystals.

In 1980 the Chopard Company debuted with sports watches on leather straps. The range of Happy Diamonds watches was enlarged by jewelry pieces. The first Chopard boutiques were opened in Hong Kong, Geneva and Vienna in the 1980-s.

In 1988 Chopard established the cooperation with the Mille Miglia, an annual Italian rally where vintage and classic cars take part. To mark the partnership, Chopard has maintained the tradition of developing a new special edition Mille Miglia timepiece every year.

The Chopard Happy Sport collection appeared in 1993.

In 1996, the Chopard Company opened its independent movement factory in Fleurier.

Also in 1996, after years of planning and development, the first Chopard in-house movement of the late 20th century was produced, the calibre 1.96, encased in the “1860″ hunter-back case, named for the historical origins of the manufacture. This was to be the flagship watch of Chopard, their re-entree as it were to manufacture status, and Chopard spared no effort with it. Only 300 of the 1860 hunter-back units are known to have been produced. However, the calibre 1.96 was incorporated into later iterations of the 1860 watch without the hunter-back. Many of these 1860 watches, called “16/1860/2″ and “16/1860/3″ and all without hunter-backs, were produced. The calibre 1.96 achieved a level of design and finish that set it apart and qualified it as haute horlogerie in many ways. It was stamped with the Geneva Seal which is a designation reserved for the highest level of construction and finish, incorporated a 22k micro-rotor into a very thin (3.3 mm) movement and with a unique bi-directional winding mechanism, had twin mainspring barrels allowing for a 65 hour power reserve, a breguet overcoil hairspring and a swan-neck micro regulator. It had 32 jewels and ran at 28,800 beats per hour. It was found to be a highly accurate movement. The calibre 1.96 was in many ways a ground-breaking movement for Chopard. Walt Odets wrote a comprehensive technical review of the 1.96 movement (see link below). It has been referred to as perhaps the finest Swiss automatic movement now produced.
