Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin 168600-3001

Chopard L.U.C · Ref. 168600-3001

About This Watch

The Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin is one of the thinnest tourbillon watches in the world, measuring just 7.2mm in total thickness — barely more than a simple time-only dress watch. This extraordinary slimness is achieved through the caliber L.U.C 96.24-L, which incorporates the flying tourbillon within the Twin barrel architecture that is a hallmark of the L.U.C collection. The flying tourbillon, supported from below only, creates a visually dramatic display at 12 o'clock, with the cage appearing to float unsupported. The blue guilloché dial, created using traditional engine-turning techniques, adds rich texture and depth. At 40mm, the case maintains the XPS line's elegant proportions. The movement is COSC-certified — rare for a tourbillon, as most tourbillons do not undergo chronometry testing. The Qualité Fleurier certification further confirms the finishing and performance standards. The L.U.C Flying T Twin demonstrates that Chopard's manufacture capabilities extend to the highest echelons of traditional watchmaking, with the added innovation of ultra-thin construction that makes this tourbillon genuinely wearable as a daily dress watch.
