• L. U. C Perpetual Chrono (Limited Edition):

Named L.U.C 96.01-L this limited edition watch series is a tribute to the legacy of the Maison’s founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard (L.U.C) by the Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele who created a workshop for developing the first in-house calibres in the mid 1990s. The automatic micro-rotor movement of L.U.C 96.01-L was versatile and unrivaled in those times and this marked the birth not just of Chopard Manufacture but also of this exclusive L.U.C luxury watch collection which is available in limited edition with its pricing available on request

The iconic Happy Sport diamond watch features a unique design which with all its delicacy stands at the crossroads between a watch and a piece of jewellery.

It is a masterpiece in watchmaking art with exquisite curves and soft lines offering an opulent stage for its unique dancing diamonds, which are emblematic in support of the surge of freedom that changed the lives of women in the 20th century. This is also the first watch series in Swiss luxury watches that combines the nobility of diamonds with the robustness of steel in Chopard’s bid to echo the new portrayal of femininity.

Chopard’s watchmaking expertise and their approach to vertical integration have enabled most of the Happy Sport models to be driven by a 148-part Chopard 09.01-C movement — with its automatic winding and a 42-hour power reserve — which is entirely designed, developed and produced in-house. It is because Chopard’s creations are just as beautiful inside, as they are outside and so the calibre of these watches is given visibility through the sapphire case-back of the watch.

By ushering innovation in watchmaking and luxury jewellery codes in the mid-1970s, Chopard echoed the changes of an era that marked women’s empowerment and the liberalization of society.

Your Chopard

Watches Care Tips:

Taking care and regularly having their servicing at an authorized Chopard service centre is very pertinent in keeping your favourite precision timepiece accurate.

Let’s see some tips to care for your watch.

• Condensation: When the weather changes abruptly you might find a slight condensation under the watch glass, which more than often disappears on its own and doesn’t affect the precision of the watch. But in case it persists, consult an official Chopard retailer or an official Chopard service centre.
• Cleaning: Wash your water-resistant watch with liquid soap and regularly rinse it under running water, more so if you use it often in salt water. Absolutely never use chemical products for cleaning a watch as it could damage the strap/bracelet and the water-resistance gaskets.

It is advisable to keep your jewellery models with mobile elements (e.g. diamonds, gold letters, etc.) away from alcohol-based products (perfumes, creams, etc.) as well as refrain from immersion in fresh or seawater as they are not water-resistant.

• Checking the Gaskets: To ensure they are water-resistant Chopard luxury watches are lined with security gaskets which as time goes by, may deteriorate rendering the case less resistant to water. Therefore it’s highly recommended to have the water-resistance of your Chopard watch tested by an official service centre once every year and duly before you engage in any prolonged aquatic activity and definitely go through a strong impact.
• Leather Straps: It’s important to remember that leather straps should not be immersed in water. In case you are going to be in frequent or prolonged contact with water, it’s recommended that you use a rubber strap or a steel bracelet rather than a leather strap. Also do note that it is normal for your leather straps to become slightly darker over time.
• Movement Maintenance: The movement of a Chopard luxury watch requires typical care. To guarantee its performance, it should be serviced regularly at an official Chopard service centre.
• Quartz Watches: To ensure the performance of your quartz watch, its movement testing and battery replacement must be entrusted to an official Chopard service centre that can ensure and guarantee the brand’s specific criteria. It’s strongly recommended that worn-out batteries should not be left in your Chopard watches, since it might damage the movement.
