Now,let's introduce another watch,replica Chopard LUC 150 All in One Men's Watch is similar to it,about Chopard L.U.C All-in-One,Normally, as a human being, you would like to stay far away from any sort of complication. But when it comes to horology, it is actually a good thing. Or at least interesting. Everything other than the ‘normal’ time indication, let’s say a three-hand watch, is referred to as a complication. This also includes the date feature, this is a complication already. Besides the date, the most famous types of complications are of course a chronograph, a moon phases indicator, a power reserve indicator, an annual calendar, additional (world) timezones, a perpetual calendar, a tourbillon and a minute repeater. Complications that you don’t see often, are for example an indication of the equation of time, a planetarium, dead seconds, and the indication of all sorts of times besides our standard time (think solar time, sidereal time, sunset and sunrise time etc.). Unofficially, a Grand Complication is a combination of at least three complications in one watch. Not any three, but one from the timing complications (equation of time, chronograph, sunset/sunrise for example), one calendar complication (perpetual calendar for example) and something with sound (alarm, repeater etc.). Although the Chopard L.U.C All-in-One does not have a striking mechanism, the 14 indications it has on both sides, definitely places this watch in the illustrious list of Grand Complications.
On the dial side of the Chopard L.U.C All-in-One, we find the central display of hours and minutes. A small seconds on the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, a perpetual calendar with 24-hour indication and day of the week indication as well as a month and leap year indicator. Last but not least, a large date display at 12 o’clock. To be honest, the dial isn’t overly crowded or cluttered. If you find it difficult to read, it might be of the colour and hand-guilloché finish. On the back side of the watch, instead of looking at the mechanism of the watch, you will find the indications of the equation of time, a power reserve (170 hours!), the day & night indicator, sunrise and sunset times (Geneva time) and an astronomical orbital moon phase. While we’re still at the back side of the watch, you will find the unique number (out of 10) engraved in the gold bezel as well as the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark.
All these indications are powered by Chopard’s L.U.C calibre 05.01-L, initially created for the brand’s 150th anniversary. This chronometer certified movement consists of no less than 516 parts and all that in this tiny space with a dimension of just 33mm x 11.75mm. You can imagine how painstakingly this must have been for the Swiss watchmakers at the Chopard Manufacture, that was founded in 1996. The conception and finishing of the movement, as well as the adjustments and assembly, are treated with the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark. Not only that, it also makes up for the price that without proper context could have been perceived as vulgar. The retail price of the Chopard L.U.C All-in-One is €360.000 (€374.500 for the platinum version). That, however, should always be placed in the right context for watches like this. The number of hours that have gone into the finishing of the movement, the dial, the hands etc. Not only that, but all the hours that went into the research & development of this watch also need to be included of course. It is not a mass-produced Swiss mechanical watch, but built and finished by hand.
