About This Watch
The Chopard L.U.C XPS 1860 adds a date display and small seconds to the ultra-thin XPS platform, referencing the year 1860 when Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded the company in Sonvilier. The caliber L.U.C 96.01-L features the patented Twin barrel technology providing 65 hours of power reserve within a movement just 3.3mm thick. The silver dial features a sector design with a small seconds register at 6 o'clock and a date window at 3, adding functionality while maintaining the refined aesthetic. The 40mm rose gold case remains impressively thin at 7.7mm. Both COSC and Qualité Fleurier certifications confirm the movement's accuracy and the watch's overall quality. The Qualité Fleurier certification is particularly significant as it includes a 24-hour simulated wear test in addition to aesthetic evaluation — meaning the watch must perform flawlessly not just in static testing but in conditions mimicking real-world use. The L.U.C XPS 1860 is the pragmatist's choice within the L.U.C line: it offers the same ultra-thin manufacture quality with the added convenience of a date and small seconds.
