The celebration continued with a presentation of the new chronograph “L.U.C Chrono One”, which took place in a beautiful old country villa restored by Chopard in the town centre. This exceptional timepiece was specially made to commemorate the manufacture’s 10th anniversary; its entirely new calibre, the “L.U.C CF 10” with an integrated chronograph function, was developed in record time and is a reflection of the know-how and competence of the Chopard Manufacture watchmakers. Chopard has pending patents on this watch.
