More About Chopard L.U.C. Watches

The L.U.C. timepiece from Chopard has an iconic reputation among horology connoisseurs. Certainly, by providing a different option to those brans more generally aligned with luxury watches. Chopard, surprisingly to many, only began to create their own in house movements in 1996, little over twenty years ago. Indeed, Chopard quickly gained recognition for the quality of these calibres and these days the so called L.U.C. movements have developed into a symbol for the exceptional skill of the master craftsman working at Chopard’s workshops.  

All Chopard L.U.C. timepieces carry the FQF Quality Seal, an independent certification system that is certainly worth a deeper look. The Foundation was initially launched back in 2001 by luxury watchmakers Chopard, Parmigiani Fleurier, Vaucher Manufacture, and Bovet, who each use the Foundation to inspect and evaluate their timepieces through heavy testing. Whilst the Foundation's rigorous processes are available to any Swiss brand, only these four currently submit pieces for approval.  

The procedures include COSC certification, however there are other elements to the process including a Chronofiable test that assesses durability and the Fleuritest which is a precision test using a unique machine that acts out human activity to see its effects, if any, on the time telling ability of a watch. Indeed, the testing procedures come at a premium and so customers should also expect to pay a higher price for Chopard L.U.C. watches.
