After a first model in 2006, Chopard once again distinguishes itself by miniaturising a regulator-type mechanism to wristwatch size. Regulators are watches whose hour hand is not fitted in the centre of the dial. The steel case gives way to a timeless version in 18k rose gold.

Contrary to almost all available regulators, which place the hours at noon, those of the L.U.C Regulator appear at 3 o?clock. This means they peek out beyond a shirt cuff and are thus legible in all circumstances. The avant-garde design of the indications appearing on the 2006 L.U.C Regulator is replaced by new indications characterised by a refined dial font.
But the unique nature of the L.U.C Regulator also lies in its other atypical indications. Its dial features exquisite symmetry, with its four cardinal points each occupied by an indication. At noon, the power-reserve indication proudly shows the autonomy of L.U.C Calibre 98.02-L on a graduated scale. The hours are placed at 3 o?clock, while the small seconds beat steadily at 6 o?clock.
Each L.U.C 98.02-L movement of the L.U.C Regulator has successfully undergone the tests conducted by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute, thereby guaranteeing its chronometric precision. The watch is thus authorised to bear the inscription ?Chronometer? on its dial. Moreover, its case and its movement have passed the stern tests performed by the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, which certifies the fine technical and aesthetic craftsmanship of t...
