The Chopard House continues the development of its model L.U.C 8HF - launched in 2012 in titanium-with the arrival this year of a limited edition of 250 copies with a black ceramic case Matt 42 mm (waterproof 100 meters) with an automatic with exhaust caliber high frequency (Hz or 57'600 vibrations per hour) designed, developed and developed by Chopard Technologies in Fleurier. A timepiece displaying an ' affordable ' for a piece of this quality...

 

After several years of studies and developments, engineers and watchmakers of Chopard Technologies, the watchmaking group research cluster, are therefore managed to develop a mechanical movement beating at a frequency of 8 Hz, or 57'600 vibrations per hour, responding in all respects to the standards of Swiss watchmaking.

 

"The primary interest the high frequency in the watch application resides in a significant improvement of the chronometric properties of a caliber, including recovery of market and stability" ensures the manufacture in its release. And to clarify: 'a number of alternations higher pendulum implies in fact reduced susceptibility to disturbance. It is in this light that this advanced technology makes Breitling Replica perfect sense.

 

If the choice of high frequency is the pledge of greater precision, it appears logical that a movement that makes its value added is crowned with an official certification. In addition to its certified by the COSC accuracy, this calibre is also distinguished by the transversal nature of its exhaust at high frequency. It is compatible with most of the L.U.C movements already developed by Chopard Manufacture even though it is at the moment restricted to special and exclusive versions. In terms of materials, Chopard Technologies engineers have focused their choice on silicon for some of the components of the exhaust (plateau ankle, anchor escapement wheel) and have developed a new way of fixing from silicon to steel (patent pending).

 

Note that the movement is not alone in pushing the limits of technology. The 42mm case diameter curves similar to the L.U.C 8HF titanium version, is now proposed for this black machined ceramic Power Control version. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this model presents a band of stature DLC to keep the opening of the bezel and a Crown placed at 4 h and marked with the L.U.C logo ceramic titanium It has a set horns and Matt Black solid background, like the screwed and reported Crown protector. Integrated in the semi-closed bottom of the housing, a sapphire is placed above the exhaust at high frequency to better appreciate the details.

 

His black satin Sun dial displays the date in a window at arrow at 5:30, while the small red second at 0700 presents a shift much more fluid than that of an Fake omega watches ordinary watch, because the exhaust high frequency and its 57'600 vibrations per hour. -Very comfortable - 60-hour power reserve is represented between 9: 00 and 11: 00. Generated by a single barrel, this power reserve represents a real technological achievement! Indeed, an exhaust high frequency requires more energy and may involve a reduction in the reserve market thereby... This model is mounted on an extremely resistant and anti-fire technical fabric strap with a buckle in titanium.
