Dive Deeper into Chopard’s Newest Offerings

Let’s kick things off with the Alpine Eagle 41 XPS “Mountain Glow” (ref. 298623-3003 / €29,500). This watch features a stunning, textured champagne-toned dial and measures just 8mm thick, crafted from Chopard’s proprietary Lucent Steel. Inside, it houses the ultra-slim 176-part L.U.C caliber 96.40-L, which not only looks sleek but also boasts a robust 65-hour power reserve, courtesy of its 22K gold micro-rotor. Accentuated by a Poinçon de Genève certification and COSC chronometer status, this timepiece features a stop-seconds function and a swan’s-neck regulator, ensuring precise timekeeping. The renovated bracelet adds comfort with a micro-adjustment system that allows an extension of up to 5mm.

Unveiling the L.U.C 1860: A Timeless Classic

Chopard truly shone during Watches and Wonders 2026. The introduction of the L.U.C 1860 in Lucent Steel, featuring its enchanting Areuse blue dial (ref. 168860-3005 / €28,200), celebrates the 30th anniversary of Chopard’s Fleurier manufacture. The dial, inspired by the beautiful Areuse river, mirrors the elegance and beauty of nature. Structurally, this watch retains the charm of the original model with a 36.5mm case diameter and 8.2mm thickness, flaunting refined polished surfaces and visually striking vertically brushed accents.

The eye-catching river-blue dial, crafted from 18K white gold, features exquisite hand-guilloché patterns and a satin-brushed chapter ring. The applied white gold hour markers and dauphine hands harmonize perfectly with the asymmetrical sub-seconds register at the 6 o’clock mark, resulting in an unobtrusive, elegant layout.

Inside this sophisticated watch beats the same L.U.C caliber 96.40-L automatic movement found in the Alpine Eagle 41 XPS “Mountain Glow,” complemented by a gray grained calfskin strap with a steel pin buckle.

Enter the L.U.C XPS Prussian Blue: A Gateway to Luxury

The 40 x 7.2mm L.U.C XPS Prussian Blue (ref. 168629-3002 / €12,900) perfectly embodies the L.U.C essence and serves as an attractive entry point into Chopard’s luxurious watch collection. Don’t let the 40mm case size deter you; its proportions are artfully balanced, allowing for a strikingly large dial in a historic shade of blue.

Hailing from the 17th century, “Prussian blue” was discovered by accident by a merchant in Berlin. Interestingly, the history connects to the Canton of Neuchâtel, where Chopard opened its Fleurier Manufacture 30 years ago. The stunning blue dial features an elegant sector-style layout, paying homage to 1930s design aesthetics.

Inside the L.U.C XPS, you’ll discover the ultra-thin 96.12-L automatic movement, boasting a 3.3mm profile. The 22K gold micro-rotor ensures efficient winding, while Chopard’s Twin technology offers a solid 65-hour power reserve. With a stop-seconds function and COSC-certified chronometer status, this watch promises both elegance and functionality.

Make a Statement with the L.U.C Strike One Titanium

On the higher end of the spectrum is the L.U.C Strike One Titanium (ref. 168627-3003 / €63,300). This watch combines cutting-edge acoustic complexity with a sleek, modern design. The 40 x 9.86mm Grade 5 titanium case, carved from a single block, features both satin-brushed and polished elements while maintaining an uncluttered look with an integrated crown pusher.

The L.U.C 96.32-L movement is both COSC-certified and Poinçon de Genève marked, featuring a micro-rotor and twin-stacked barrels for robust power reserve. This “strike one” features a single, crisp chime that signals every hour. Thanks to a patented monobloc sapphire gong system, even the titanium case delivers an impressive sound.

Detailed with an 18K ethical gold dial featuring a honeycomb guilloché pattern, the salmon-toned surface radiates warmth. Subtle indicators show if the chime is active, alongside a unique aperture that allows you to see the hammer in action, all paired with an anthracite alligator strap.

Artisan Excellence: The L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 – Straw Marquetry Editions

Crafted to perfection, the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 – Straw Marquetry Editions come in two luxurious versions: one in yellow gold with a gold-colored dial (ref. 161977-0003 / €76,800) and a rose gold variant with a blue dial (ref. 161977-5011 / €76,800). Limited to just eight pieces, each timepiece features a stunning straw marquetry dial, designed to evoke the intricate beauty of beehives—a symbol of Chopard’s commitment to artistry and craftsmanship.

Both models feature an elaborate jump-hour display at 6 o’clock, complemented by a central dauphine-fusée hand for minutes. Powered by the L.U.C 98.06‑L caliber, the movement combines four stacked barrels for exceptional 192-hour power reserve, encapsulating the essence of industriousness reminiscent of a busy bee.

These 40mm rounded cases reflect the elegance of traditional pocket watches formerly crafted by Louis Ulysse Chopard, with a modern twist in design. The transparent caseback reveals the movement’s impeccable finishing, adorned with the Poinçon de Genève.

Jet Set in Style with the L.U.C Time Traveler One

Last but not least, the L.U.C Time Traveler One (ref. 168574-3013 / €19,300) in ceramized titanium is a new gem from Chopard. This limited edition is tailored for frequent travelers, showcasing a 24-city display. The watch features a crown at 4 o’clock for adjusting the city ring and a second crown at 2 o’clock for local time adjustments.

The 42mm ceramized titanium case offers a unique aesthetic, reminiscent of steel but infused with durability, ensuring it stands the test of time. The khaki-toned dial, accented with beige finishes and a lacquered yellow second hand, is designed for legibility. This timepiece is completed with a khaki-green rubber strap, making it perfect for adventurous souls.
