The watch shown on the picture is a unique piece created by Chopard for Only Watch 2011 charity auction.
This is a special black and yellow-toned version of the L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon – a famous automobile spirited timepiece. The watch is propelled by L.U.C Calibre 1TRM, a mechanical hand-wound tourbillon movement. This mechanism, completely developed and produced by Chopard offers 60 hours of power reserve and has a powerful shock-absorbing system. The watch is a COSC certified chronometer, equipped with hours, minutes, seconds and the power reserve indications.
L.U.C Engine One Tourbillon Only Watch is crafted in black DLC coated titanium. The case of the watch features alternating polished and matt finishes and delivers an extremely dynamic effect. The lugs of the case are sculptured like car wings, to ensure maximum comfort and enhance the overall sporty design. The case is rather large and boasts 35.4 x 44.4 mm in proportions.
The dial of a watch repeats yellow details, emblematic Arabic numerals engraved and yellow tinted under the sapphire crystal glass. The only distinguishing detail on the dial is the black power reserve hand with a vibrant red tip. Power-reserve display is placed at 12 o'clock, while a small seconds indicator dominates the lower portion of the dial.
The watch is mounted on hand-sewn black alligator leather strap lined with brown alligator leather featuring gadrooned motif. The watch is fastened to the wrist by DLC titanium pin buckle and water resistant to 50 meters.
If you’re interested in this piece, the biannualOnly Watch 2011 Charity Auction starts on September 22, 2011. The auction is held in Monaco, at Hotel Hermitage. Since the last edition in September 2009, € 2,5 million have been donated to 18 scientific partners for research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
