Chopard - LUC Lunar One Perpetual
Limited to 25 pieces, the LUC Lunar One is one of the most exclusive pieces in the Chopard Haute Horlogerie collection.
Combining a perpetual calendar with an astronomical moon phase, it is the only timepiece in its category to feature a high-precision orbital moon phase display that appears in a rotating aperture.
Thanks to its sophisticated gear system, the Chopard in-house movement LUC 96.13-L can track the phases of the moon very accurately, requiring only one day of correction every 122 years, as the time difference between two new moons is only 57.2 seconds. It clocks in at 28,800 The vibration frequency beats every second and has a power reserve of 65 hours.
Another feature is that the LUC 96.13-L is equipped with a micro-rotor, which is quite a rare and rare feature in perpetual calendar movements.
The 43mm x 11.4mm case is crafted from rose gold with an anodized dark blue dial featuring a sunray satin-finish pattern centered on the LUChopard logo.
The hour, minute, day, month and small seconds hands are rhodium-plated, while day/night and leap year are indicated by white triangles.
The blue sky at 6 o'clock is inlaid with real stars from the northern hemisphere and outlines the moon.
The dial consists of a large date display at 12 o'clock and large mirror-polished Roman numerals.
The sapphire crystal case back reveals the delicate finishes of the movement: beveled bridges with Côtes de Genève decoration, circular grained baseplate, mirror-polished steel parts and swan neck regulator, guilloche 22-karat gold micro-rotor.
