Description

 Chopard reaffirms its commitment to the values of Haute Horlogerie promoted by the Fleurier Quality Foundation with a new timepiece certified in accordance with the rigorous specifications of this independent institution. This L.U.C Qualité Fleurier model is the first watch to be awarded this label since Chopard became the sole custodian of the Foundation in 2022. It is also the first in the L.U.C Qualité Fleurier family to be crafted in Lucent Steel™ – Chopard's alloy featuring exclusive properties and produced with a recycling rate of at least 80%. While retaining a 39-millimeter diameter for a thickness of 8.92 millimeters, this unprecedented model has been fitted with a resized crown and lugs, as well as an elegant and functional silver-toned monochrome sector-type dial. Testifying to the finest expertise and innovation cultivated within Chopard Manufacture, its L.U.C 96.09-L movement with chronometer-certified precision is equipped with Chopard Twin technology. In addition to the movement's accuracy, the Fleurier Quality Foundation label of excellence also guarantees the reliability, durability and aesthetic finish of the watch as a whole. Always eagerly awaited by watchmaking enthusiasts, the L.U.C Qualité Fleurier chronometers continue to push the limits of design, craftsmanship and certified quality.

Sustainability
Chopard’s quest for sustainability is in no way detrimental to the exceptional quality or properties of the materials composing its timepieces. Chopard Lucent Steel™ is made using high-quality industrial scraps from Swiss watchmakers, along with high-grade steel from the medical, aerospace and automotive industries. Lucent Steel™ stems from Chopard’s creation of a local, circular manufacturing loop. All Chopard suppliers for recycled steel are based within 1000km of its manufacturing unit, either in Switzerland or its neighbouring countries of Austria, France, Germany and Italy, reducing the need for transportation emissions. In addition, the scraps resulting from Chopard’s manufacturing process are collected and recycled into new high-quality steel by its suppliers. This circular process limits the extraction of raw materials without compromising the quality integral to all the Maison’s activities. To endorse its commitment, Chopard has become the first luxury Maison to join Climate Group’s SteelZero initiative in order to work with the industry to speed up the transition to a net zero steel. SteelZero members use their collective purchasing power and influence to send a strong demand signal to shift global markets and policies towards responsible production and sourcing of steel.
