Briefer About Two Excellent Watches from Chopard and Jaquet Droz
Chopard L.U.C Tourbillon Tech Twist
Chopard recently held a Charity luncheon to commemorate the upcoming Singapore F1 Night Race. Their innovative new tourbillon, the L.U.C. Tourbillon Tech Twist, was offered for sale by silent auction during this luncheon. All the proceeds will go to charity.
This piece is one-of-a-kind and features a 42mm white gold case that houses the Calibre 4TBST (Quattro Tourbillon Black Superlight Twist) movement. The manufacture movement features an ultra-light silicon escapement along with a sporty black PVD coated mainplate and bridges.
Jaquet Droz Reserve de Marche Ceramique
Jaquet Droz introduced their newest edition to the “Hommage Genève 1784″ Collection, the Réserve de Marche Céramique, during the Baselworld fair this past April. The 44 mm case is made of black ceramic. The use of ceramic, a very hard and scratch resistant material, creates a shiny finish that will maintain its original color. The black opaline dial is simple and elegant. The power reserve indicator at nine o’clock displays the impressive 68-hour power reserve. This exclusive “Grande Second” timepiece is limited to only 88 pieces worldwide.
