Chopard L.U.C Perpetual Chrono: The Collector’s Watch
For the L.U.C Perpetual Chrono, Chopard has produced a combination that, at first, seems almost ordinary in the world of high-end watchmaking: a manually wound chronograph and a perpetual calendar. Patek Philippe and others have issued these, but while there are many from which to choose, production is always limited.
Just study the photo for an eyeful of watch-lust: the dial features a large date aperture at 12 o’clock, days of the week display at 9 o’clock and months shown at 3 o’clock, off-set day/night display at 10 o’clock and offset leap-year indication at 2 o’clock. Remember, too, that these sub-dials also contain the chronograph recorders, with the 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock and the 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock. Below and between the two main sub-dials is the orbital moon display at 6 o’clock; Chopard claims “a mere one-day deviation in 122 years” for this function.
