About This Watch
The Chopard L.U.C XPS (eXtra-thin with Seconds) is the quintessential L.U.C dress watch, housing the ultra-thin caliber 96.12-L in a case measuring just 7.2mm thick. The L.U.C collection represents Chopard's dedication to haute horlogerie, with movements developed and manufactured at the Fleurier workshop, certified by both COSC for chronometry and the Qualité Fleurier certification — one of the most demanding quality stamps in Swiss watchmaking, combining aesthetic standards, precision testing, and a 24-hour Chronofiable wear simulation. The caliber 96.12-L features Chopard's patented Twin technology: two stacked mainspring barrels that provide a 65-hour power reserve despite the movement's 3.3mm thickness. The blue dial is refined and uncluttered, with applied hour markers and slim dauphine hands. The 40mm rose gold case is supremely elegant. The L.U.C XPS is often cited by collectors as one of the most undervalued haute horlogerie dress watches, offering manufacture quality, dual certification, and refined aesthetics at a price significantly below comparably finished competitors.
