Chopard LUC 1860 x The Rake & Revolution
Description
This is the Chopard L.U.C 1860 x The Rake & Revolution. The Chopard L.U.C, which are the initials of founder Louis-Ulysse-Chopard, is a movement that is among the most underrated in modern horology. The revered 1.96 was introduced in 1996 after Chopard moved their movements in-house to gain respectability as a watch powerhouse. The importance of Chopard’s Calibre 1.96 cannot be understated during a period of recovery from the Quartz crisis where most companies relied on a modified version of third party movements. This collaboration is the brainchild of Chopard and prominent luxury magazine, Revolution & the Rake. As mentioned on The Rake, the desire was to utilize the Calibre 1.96 in its original case dimensions and design. The result was a faithful recreation of the early LUC down to the finest detail, with a stunning salmon guilloche dial and true to form, an open caseback displaying the Calibre 1.96 in all its glory. While Chopard may not be the first name on everyone’s lips with regards to watches, it’s certainly one of horology’s best kept secrets. As it is, Chopards with the Calibre 1.96 is rarely seen on the secondary market and this one is extra exclusive as it was made only in a limited edition of 10. For the ones who covet Chopard’s early movement and design language, this is definitely among the most desirable.
Condition
This Chopard LUC 1860 is in very good pre-owned condition. It was worn sparingly by a single owner. The bezel has some hairlines from prior wear, noticeably near the 12 o’clock. The caseback is in excellent condition with no signs of wear on both the front and back sapphire crystals. There’s some evidence of strap changes with hairlines near the inner lugs. The timepiece comes accompanied by its original set of box and guarantee papers.
