The latest offering from Chopard Manufacture, the L.U.C
8HF model, is definitely bound for the history books as the exceptional
timepiece introducing the new L.U.C 01.06-L, the first ever movement
with a high-frequency escapement to be chronometer-certified by the
COSC. Beating at a frequency of 8 Hz - compared with 4 Hz for ordinary
mechanical movements - meaning 57,600 vibrations per hour, this
mechanical movement was conceived, developed and perfected by Chopard
Technologies in Fleurier.
