Piece Unique
Following projects carried out in partnership with the Urwerk and Ressence watchmaking houses, ART IN TIME watch gallery is unveiling a brand-new version of the L.U.C Flying T Twin by Chopard, created exclusively for them.
ART IN TIME is thus pursuing its commitment to the Monegasque community by offering a new one-of-a-kind model, of which part of the proceeds will be donated to the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
Unveiled in 2019, the L.U.C Flying T Twin collection by Chopard features the Manufacture's first self-winding tourbillon movement. At just 7.7 mm thick, the Flying T Twin is one of the thinnest self-winding tourbillons on the market and the only one to earn both Chronometer (COSC) and Poinçon de Genève certification. It is equipped with a novel winding system, driven by a 22kt gold micro-rotor. Combined with the two coaxial barrels of the Twin technology developed and patented by Chopard, this winding mechanism guarantees 65 hours of power reserve for the tourbillon movement. The 190 components of the caliber are adorned in accordance with the most demanding quality criteria established by the Poinçon de Genève.
ART IN TIME one-of-a-kind model
This unique edition, specially created for the ART IN TIME watch gallery, showcases the exclusive nature of this collection. For the first time, its 40mm case in ethical 18kt white gold features a guilloché officer-type caseback, enabling viewing of the movement. The honeycomb motif chosen to adorn this cover reproduces that of the historical logo designed by Louis-Ulysse Chopard and matches the dial, which is also hand-guilloché and features an exclusive green hue. The flying tourbillon is located on an aperture at 6 o'clock.
At the heart of the action in Monaco
By offering this new one-of-a-kind at ART IN TIME, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, initiator of this exceptional watchmaking space in Monaco and Co-President of Chopard, is confirming his desire to support local commitments and in particular the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
For almost 15 years, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco has been working through his Foundation to prevent the damage threatening the planet, by protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development. Active in the fields of research, technological innovation and major social issues, the Foundation finances projects in the Mediterranean basin, the polar regions and in the world's least developed countries in socio-economic terms. Its objectives are to limit the effects of climate change, promote renewable energy, preserve biodiversity, manage water resources and combat desertification.
Thanks.
