The new Chopard L.U.C Triple Certification Tourbillon is the first watch in the world to bear the three most prestigious Swiss watchmaking certifications: COSC, Poin?on de Genève and Fleurier Quality Foundation label. It represents a doubly important accomplishment for the Chopard Manufacture which has thereby not only achieved an unprecedented level of certification but has done so on one of the horological complications that is most sensitive to wear and reliability tests.The voluptuously curving 43 mm diameter rose gold case of this L.U.C Triple Certification Tourbillon embraces the new curved shape of the L.U.C collection. The polished and satin-brushed lugs have been entirely redesigned to ensure enhanced comfort and perfect aesthetic balance. The crown, engraved with the L.U.C logo, appears slimmer while remaining as ergonomic as ever.

To emphasise the exceptional technical qualities of this genuine precision instrument, the dial also reveals original refined details giving pride of place to readability: silver-toned and grained in order to catch the light, it provides a remarkable contrast with the rhodiumed black hands representing a personalised version of the "Dauphine” style. The hours are marked by delicately applied black rhodiumed Roman numerals inspired by the 1960s and topped by a minute track.This splendid exterior houses the hand-wound Chopard Manufacture L.U.C Calibre 02-13-L (L.U.C 1.02QF), the world’s only movement to be fitted with four stacked and series-coupled barrels ensuring a full nine days of operating autonomy.This movement, driving central hour and minute hands, a power-reserve display at 12 o’clock and small seconds on the one-minute tourbillon visible at 6 o’clock, powers the only timepiece to meet all of the ultimate standards in high-quality watchmaking. Of the three certifications earned by the latest model in the L.U.C collection, two relate to the craftsmanship, precision and reliability displayed in the movement, and the third to the perfection of the watch as a whole.

Instated in 1886 by a cantonal law, the Poin?on de Genève quality hallmark demands strict compliance with 12 criteria ranging from the making of individual parts to the finishing of components, along with the nature of the materials as well as movement construction and assembly. These conditions call for such a superlative degree of expertise that only a handful of brands are deemed worthy to claim membership of this exclusive circle. The COSC is the only neutral body entitled to grant the title of "Chronometer”. http://www.welwatch.org/breitling-replica-25.html The latter depends on the rating precision of a movement, which undergoes a battery of tests lasting a full 15 days and conducted in five different positions and at three different temperatures. To earn "Chronometer” certification, a movement must have been the object of particular care devoted by the finest watchmakers and precision timers during its assembly process.
