Introducing the first L.U.C watch that features a dual-time function built into the movement

The house of Chopard introduces L.U.C GMT One, a watch for gentlemen globetrotters that provides a dual-time read-off with an integrated GMT function. The new model joining the celebrated L.U.C collection is a perfect companion for frequent travelers. Powered by an original L.U.C 01.10-L calibre, the watch is issued in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of Chopard’s Manufacture in Fleurier. This is the first L.U.C watch that features a dual-time function built into the movement. Its main function is to indicate a second time zone, and inform the wearer of the watch about the exact time in any place of the world. In addition, it makes it easy for the traveler to adjust to local time while keeping track of home time.
