Chopard has taken the luxury watch world by storm once again with the unveiling of two new stunning models in its iconic L.U.C Lunar One collection. Launched back in 2005, this collection is acclaimed for marrying elegant aesthetics with exceptional mechanics. Its groundbreaking design combines a perpetual calendar and an astronomical moon phase function, maintaining an astonishing accuracy of just one day’s difference over a staggering 122 years.

The latest models are crafted with utmost finesse, featuring a hand-guilloché dial nestled within a sleek 40.5mm case that boasts a slim profile of only 11.6mm. What sets this design apart is its commitment to sustainability; the cases are meticulously made from ethically sourced 18k gold—a material that Chopard consistently incorporates in their jewels and watches.

Available in two captivating colorways—an enticing deep blue and a chic salmon pink—the new L.U.C Lunar One watches bear a striking sunburst guilloché pattern that radiates gracefully from the moon-phase indicator located at 6 o'clock. The fascinating art of guilloché adds a unique touch to each piece. This decorative technique involves a specialized engine-turning machine to create intricate and repetitive patterns, a skilled craftsmanship that few watchmakers, including Chopard, continue to embrace.

Additional features highlight Chopard's commitment to elegance and precision. The models include a sophisticated twin-aperture date window at 12 o'clock and herringbone hour markers in white or rose gold to complement the case. The two perpetual calendar counters exhibit a snailed finish, while the exceptional design of the day/night indicator represents the sun and the moon’s cycle with stunning visual details.

At the heart of these exceptional timepieces lies the L.U.C 96.13.L chronometer-certified automatic movement, which showcases an impressive 355 components. This movement tracks not just the date, day, and month, but also leap years and incorporates a 24-hour scale. Notably, the night star rotates around the small seconds axis while representing celestial constellations like the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross. With an impressive time discrepancy of just 57.2 seconds between two moons, the movement requires a manual adjustment only once in 122 years, exemplifying its unparalleled reliability.

Chopard highlights the rarity of automatic perpetual calendars featuring a micro-rotor, and in the L.U.C Lunar One, this micro-rotor is crafted from solid gold, contributing to a slimmer overall design without compromising on aesthetic appeal. The handcrafted movement is proudly displayed through a sapphire caseback, showcasing Chopard’s exquisite craftsmanship.

Moreover, these luxurious watches proudly bear the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, a testament to their superior craftsmanship including flawless chamfering, satin-brushing, and polishing, which are all rigorously tested and hand-assembled.

Innovatively, the L.U.C Lunar One introduces an interchangeable strap system allowing for effortless swaps without any tools. Each timepiece comes with two premium leather straps, with Chopard boutiques offering an extensive variety of additional straps in multiple textures and colors, ensuring that every watch can be tailored to individual tastes.

The new Chopard L.U.C Lunar One model references are as follows: the 161951-1002, crafted in ethical 18k white gold paired with a captivating salmon pink dial, and the 161951-5001, made from ethical 18k rose gold with an alluring blue dial.

With these eye-catching features and groundbreaking innovations, Chopard solidifies its position as a frontrunner in luxury watchmaking, effortlessly setting trends that redefine elegance and precision.
