A Repeater Masterclass: Chopard's Splendid L.U.C Grand Strike, With Grande Sonnerie & Tourbillon

​@chopard #Chopard #GrandStrike #MONOCHROMEwatches Mastering the art of the Minute Repeater complication is no small effort, and it goes much further if you include a Petite and Grande Sonnerie in a single mechanical watch. Few brands are capable of creating such a masterpiece in-house, but among those, Chopard has truly mastered it, pouring more than 11,000 hours of work and 10 proprietary technical patents into the utterly splendid L.U.C Grand Strike. Not only does this chime automatically and on demand through the crown-integrated pusher, but it also relies on Chopard's clever monobloc sapphire crystal gong construction, resulting in crystal-clear chimes. With virtually all of its mechanics exposed dial-side, you can see the governor, hammer and gongs in action when time is struck out. And on top of that, Chopard also incorporated a tourbillon escapement, making the L.U.C Grand Strike a true horological tour de force. This, and everything else you need to know, in the full video!
