L.U.C STRIKE ONE
The L.U.C Strike One is captivating
both for its design and functionality. It
is equipped with a sapphire gong that
chimes every hour on the hour. This pat­
ented gong was inspired by the L.U.C
Full Strike, Chopard's first revolution­
ary minute repeater, and symbolises
Chopard's watchmaking creativity. This
astonishing mechanism can be admired
through an aperture at 1 o'clock. After
a long series of fine adjustments, the
master­watchmakers at Chopard
succeeded in producing a pure, crystal­
clear sound. The L.U.C Strike One is a
watch for connoisseurs who appreciate
the prestige of listening to the delicate
sound of time, expressed simply and
in the purest of forms. The L.U.C Strike
One model houses a new self­winding
mechanical movement named the
L.U.C 96.32­L. This chronometer move­
ment has been certified by the COSC,
bears the highly coveted Poinçon de
Genève hallmark and features two
stacked barrels (Chopard Twin tech­
nology). The movements of your wrist
become the key factor in winding your

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES
Water-resistance
Each time the crown is handled, it must
be pushed back in to position 1 to guar­
antee the watch's water­resistance. No
time­setting operations must be per­
formed in a liquid (such as water) under
any circumstances, as this risks dam­
aging the movement.
Movement
The movement of your watch requires
particular care. In order to guarantee its
performance, it must be serviced regu­
larly by an official Chopard retailer.
Straps
Leather or fabric straps deteriorate rap­
idly if they come into contact with liquids
or cosmetic products (soaps, fragrances,
creams). If your strap is exposed to any
of these substances, we recommend
dabbing it with a soft cloth and leaving it
to dry well away from sources of heat or
light. We also recommend avoiding pro­
longed exposure to light or heat, which
could result in the premature fading of the
colour of your strap.
