In celebration of two decades since unveiling its first L.U.C Qualité Fleurier-certified timepiece, Chopard presents a new milestone in haute horlogerie: the L.U.C Qualité Fleurier 20th Anniversary Edition. Limited to just 20 numbered pieces, this exceptional model encapsulates the L.U.C collection’s defining values — technical mastery, refined aesthetics, and an unwavering commitment to certification standards.
Crafted in ethical 18-carat yellow gold, the 39mm case is a contemporary homage to the original 2005 model, with a timeless two-tone sector-style dial and harmonious proportions. The case features a polished finish with satin-brushed flanks, a glare-proofed sapphire crystal, and an exhibition caseback that reveals the finely decorated movement within.
Time & Quality
At the heart of the timepiece beats the L.U.C 96.09-L movement — a COSC-certified chronometer that also meets the exacting standards of the Qualité Fleurier certification. This accolade, awarded by the Fleurier Quality Foundation, remains one of the watch industry’s most stringent certifications, with fewer than 3,000 watches awarded the honour since the organisation’s inception in 2004.
With a height of just 3.30mm, the ultra-thin movement is wound by a 22-carat gold micro-rotor and powered by Chopard’s Twin technology – two stacked barrels delivering an impressive 65-hour power reserve. The bridges are adorned with traditional Côtes de Genève, while a flat terminal curve reflects meticulous attention to detail.
Exquisitely Crafted
The dial, crafted in gilded brass, is distinguished by a sunburst satin-brushed centre and a circular satin-finish chapter ring, with brown transfers and a snailed small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. Gilded hour markers and syringe-shaped hands are enhanced with Super-LumiNova®, offering legibility while maintaining elegance.
Paired with a rich brown calfskin strap and a matching yellow gold pin buckle, the timepiece offers understated luxury and classic appeal. As with all L.U.C creations, this anniversary edition is not only a tribute to fine watchmaking but also a reflection of Chopard’s dedication to ethical craftsmanship.
With its exceptional finishing, heritage-inspired design, and dual certification, the L.U.C Qualité Fleurier 20th Anniversary Edition is a masterful expression of precision, rarity, and artisanal excellence – a fitting tribute to one of the finest achievements in Swiss watchmaking.
