Quick TakeThe L.U.C Flying T Twin, with its crisp white gold case, is a symphony of cool tones and understated elegance. A blue dial with its intricate honeycomb guilloché work evokes the depths of a serene sea, its surface subtly playing with the light. The rhodium-plated indices and numerals stand out with discreet distinction against this textured backdrop. At its heart, the flying tourbillon, visible through the aperture at 6 o'clock, beats with a steady pulse–a mesmerizing dance of precision engineering. The watch's slender form, at just 7.20 mm thick, belies the complexity within, making it a marvel of micro-engineering. Paired with a supple blue alligator strap, it’s a study in sophisticated contrasts—the cool sheen of the metal, the deep blue of the dial, and the organic texture of the leather. It's the kind of watch that doesn't just tell time, it tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship and a passion for the art of horology. It doesn't need to shout to be noticed; its presence is felt with a quiet confidence, a subtle nod to those who appreciate the finer details.

DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C Flying T Twin, reference number 161978-1001, is a limited-edition timepiece, with only 50 pieces available, embodying a blend of horological complexity and refined aesthetics. It comes encased in an ethical 18-karat white gold case that measures 40 millimeters in diameter and has an extremely slim profile, at just 7.20 millimeters in thickness. The case also offers water resistance up to 30 meters, providing moderate protection against water exposure. The watch face is protected by a glareproofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and clear visibility. Its case back is also made of a see-through sapphire crystal, allowing the wearer an unobstructed view of the movement. The crown is crafted from 18-karat white gold and matches the case's material composition. The timepiece's dial is made from gold treated to a galvanic blue hue and features a hand-guilloché center with a distinctive honeycomb pattern. Rhodium-plated Arabic numerals and chevron-type hour markers are used to indicate time on the dial.

The timepiece is powered by the L.U.C 96.24-L self-winding mechanical movement, a sophisticated caliber that includes L.U.C Twin Technology, which incorporates two stacked barrels to provide a power reserve of approximately 65 hours. It operates at a frequency of 3.5 Hz, equating to 25,200 vibrations per hour. This movement, only 3.30 millimeters in thickness and 27.40 millimeters in diameter, comprises 189 individual parts and is equipped with 25 jewels. It is also certified with the 'Poinçon de Genève' quality hallmark, highlighting its meticulous construction and finish. The movement is adorned with Côtes de Genève on the bridges and has a circular-grained mainplate. The balance spring is flat, and the balance wheel has three spokes, both contributing to the movement's accuracy and stability. The movement's refined mechanics and intricate decorations are visible through the sapphire crystal case back. The watch comes fitted with a blue alligator leather strap with a matt square plate pattern, hand-sewn with matching tones and lined with brown alligator leather. The strap is fastened with a pin buckle made from 18-karat white gold, mirroring the material and quality of the watch case.
