LUC 8HF / Chopard

Inside the LUC 8HF is a new movement for Chopard, the LUC 01.06-L. Though this is the first movement to receive the 8Hz COSC-certified escapement, it likely won’t be the last. Instead of developing the escapement solely for one movement, Chopard has smartly created a system that can be adapted to work with almost any of their LUC movements. So rather than pushing forward with only one particular watch, Chopard has chosen to develop technology they can apply more broadly in years to come — via HODINKEE
