Its sapphire crystal gongs and case produce a strike four times louder than a repeater with steel gongs.
The salient feature of L.U.C Full Strike Sapphire is its use of crystal gongs that are attached to the sapphire crystal, a trick that causes the sound to resonate on a crystal clear note, like a fork hitting the side of a crystal glass. The monobloc sapphire crystal gong and dial cover were first introduced in 2016 with the Full Strike gold version picking up the 2017 “Aiguille d’Or” award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.
Chopard holds patents on the watch for the following: monobloc sapphire crystal and gongs; a variable-inertia balance wheel; a clutch-lever device serving to block the strikework so as to avoid losing power reserve during information capture; and a dedicated ratchet-driving mechanism serving to avoid pauses during chiming.The Chopard L.U.C Full Strike Sapphire is limited to five pieces, priced at $450,000.
