Quick TakeThis is not your run-of-the-mill, round-cased, three-hander; this L.U.C Heritage Grand Cru is a symphony of angles and curves, a tonneau titan dressed in icy white gold. The diamonds, oh, those baguette-cut beauties, frame the blackout dial like stars in the night sky. It is a subtle flex, not a shout, and is quietly confident. And inside this sculpted case? A self-winding heart, the 97.01-L1 caliber, with a 65-hour power reserve that's ready to outlast any gala or power lunch. It's thin, it's elegant, it's a rule-breaker with a Poinçon de Genève pedigree. This is not just a watch, it is a wrist-worn rebellion against the ordinary, a whisper of luxury that says, "I know the rules, and I choose to bend them." This is a watch that has a personality and it will speak to the right person at the right time.

DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C Heritage Grand Cru, reference number 172296-1001, is an exemplary display of horological engineering, housed within a tonneau-shaped case that measures 38.5 mm in diameter and a remarkably thin 7.74 mm in thickness. The case is constructed from ethically sourced 18k white gold, further embellished with 2.90 carats of meticulously set baguette-cut diamonds that accentuate the watch's refined silhouette. The dial, a matte black canvas with a lacquered finish, provides a stark contrast to the white Roman numerals and decals, enhancing legibility while maintaining an air of sophistication. This timepiece is protected by a glareproofed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on the front, while the see-through sapphire crystal case-back offers a view of the intricate mechanics within. The crown, also crafted from 18k white gold, complements the case, and the watch boasts a water resistance of 30 meters.

At the heart of this horological masterpiece lies the L.U.C 97.01-L1 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement developed in-house by Chopard. This movement is a marvel of micro-engineering, measuring 28.15 x 27.60 mm with a thickness of just 3.30 mm. It comprises 197 individual parts, including 29 jewels, and operates at a frequency of 4 Hz, equivalent to 28,800 vibrations per hour. The movement is equipped with L.U.C Twin Technology, featuring two stacked barrels that provide a substantial power reserve of approximately 65 hours. The balance spring features a Phillips terminal curve, and the balance wheel has three spokes. Further enhancing its prestige, the movement is adorned with Côtes de Genève on the bridges and a circular-grained mainplate, earning it the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark. The watch is completed with a hand-sewn, black alligator leather strap with matching tones, featuring a brown alligator lining and secured by an 18k white gold pin buckle, ensuring both comfort and elegance.
