The Chopard LUC Time Traveler One World Time Watch Hands-On

In 2016, Chopard is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its manufacture in Fleurier, and while the list of anniversary pieces will extend before the end of the year (wink-wink), today in London the brand launched a new LUC GMT and the piece that we are looking at now: the Chopard LUC Time Traveler One.

First things first: yes, they're making a version in steel – that's the one you see directly above. In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of their manufacture in Fleurier, the Chopard LUC Time Traveler One is Chopard's first world-time watch and it's something of a stunner. Based around a very wearable case size of 42mm, the new Chopard LUC Time Traveler One manages to mix the more decorative and ornate philosophies of LUC with Chopard's proven ability to make a wearable and accessible everyday watch.


On a personal note, it's relieving to see how, as years go by, Chopard is not giving up one bit of its own DNA and proudly “spicy” design choices. Quality of execution in recent years has allowed LUC to punch a few tiers above its price segment (and hit hard), but the designs you will never mistake for something from the more established brands. bekijk meer rolex en franck muller master square
