With its offset small seconds appearing at 7 o’clock, a signature feature of the Twist series within Chopard’s L.U.C collection, the L.U.C XPS Twist QF in ethically certified “Fairmined” white gold — issued in a 250-piece limited edition — opts for controlled eccentricity and elegant asymmetry. “A slim fit on the wrist, rich textures, high-quality production and an ethical dimension: Nothing is lacking here, not even a touch of extravagance,” Chopard said in a press release.
Haute Horlogerie conventions are based on symmetry and aesthetic order that elicit an instinctive visual response. L.U.C XPS Twist QF offers another take. Like a woven cashmere necktie that reveals its underside, this timepiece has fun with the offset positions of the crown and small seconds, while incorporating all the fundamental qualities of the L.U.C collection.
By taking its place within most of Chopard’s certification programs, the L.U.C XPS Twist QF displays a wealth of elegant characteristics. Fleurier Quality Foundation, chronometer certification, a case in ethically certified “Fairmined” gold: This timepiece goes the extra mile beyond aesthetic prowess to embody the most accomplished craftsmanship.
