We feature numerous certified chronometer timepieces, including this Chopard L.U.C. XPS Poincon de Geneve, which certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.

Chopard are celebrating the reopening of their boutique on the prestigious Rue du Rhône in Geneva, Switzerland, with the release of the new L.U.C XPS Poinçon de Genève timepiece. This limited edition watch is a fitting tribute to Switzerland, the most iconic country in the watchmaking industry, by fulfilling the criteria of the excellence of Genevan watchmaking since 1886. The L.U.C XPS Poinçon de Genève Timepiece begins with a platinum case, in which a satin-brushed blue sunburst dial bears the iconic “Poinçon de Genève” logo at 12 o’clock. At its heart is an L.U.C Calibre 96.01-L, certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). In addition, everything from the movement to the design of the finished product, stamping and machining of cases, movement parts and bracelets, traditional hand-crafted decorations, surface treatments, polishing, assembly, adjustment and quality control were done in-house by Chopard artisans in the Swiss cities of Meyrin and Fleurier. Only twenty five L.U.C XPS watches will be produced, and the case-back of each model has been individually hand-engraved with the “Poinçon de Genève” logo.
