The L.U.C XPS from Chopard has long been one of the brand’s most iconic and celebrated series, known for its ultra-thin design and precision. Introduced in 2006, the original L.U.C XP was a marvel at just 6.98mm thick, and it earned the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève Award in the same year.
In 2009, Chopard unveiled the L.U.C XPS with a slightly thicker case at 7.13mm, and for the first time, it added a small seconds dial at 6 o’clock, transforming the watch into a small three-hand model. This modification allowed the XPS to achieve COSC certification, marking a significant milestone for the series.
This year at Basel, Chopard continues the legacy of the L.U.C XPS with a rose gold case, giving the watch a refined and sophisticated aesthetic. The timeless elegance of this piece makes it a perfect addition for those who appreciate exquisite watchmaking. And as always with L.U.C, the movement is just as impressive as the case — you’ll want to admire it through the open caseback.
