CHOPARD L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon is now available
in 18-carat rose gold. Equipped with the L.U.C 04.01-L tourbillon movement
machined like an engine block and mounted on anti-vibration pads, the L.U.C
Engine One Tourbillon Rose Gold pays refined and elegant homage to the field of
motor sports. Since 2010, the various versions of the L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon have
distinguished themselves by their powerful character and modern lines. The new
variation in 18-carat rose gold lends an aura of elegant refinement to a
decidedly sporty watch, perfectly rounding out the series of mechanical
thoroughbreds that pay vibrant tribute to the world of car racing and
performance. Fitted with a chestnut brown hand-sewn alligator leather strap enhanced
by four reinforced inserts evoking the seats of classic racing cars, it
features an 18-carat rose gold case that is water-resistant to 50 metres. Its
gently curving screw-in lugs are streamlined like car wings, and these
aerodynamic elements guarantee excellent comfort on the wrist and enhance the
unique presence of this sleekly elegant 35.4 x 44.4 mm case. Also inspired by the automobile world, the dial is a study in
transparency. The Arabic numerals and hour-markers are engraved beneath the
glareproofed sapphire crystal and then tinted in blue – a colour also featured
on the power-reserve indicator and the movement screws. This deep shade creates
a striking contrast with the rhodiumed black parts of the mechanical movement
and judiciously emphasises both the sporty and elegant nature of this
resolutely unclassifiable model representing a cross between traditional Fine
Watchmaking and a concept-watch approach.
