A Watch Inspired by Motorsport

Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President, is the visionary behind the L.U.C collection. His passion for motorsport began when he and his father sponsored the Mille Miglia, and he has continued to participate in vintage car rallies himself, taking the wheel.

The new L.U.C. Engine One H is Chopard's ultimate creation for car enthusiasts, developed with a profound passion for automobiles. It's not just a "racing machine for the wrist," but a masterpiece featuring a newly developed manual-windTourbillonmovement housed in a titanium case.

The openings above and below the calibre evoke a racing car's air intakes, the tourbillon represents a cylinder, the entire dial suggests a cylinder head, and the movement's design itself is inspired by an engine.

The case is mounted using silent blocks, similar to a real racing machine, to absorb shocks. This is a truly exceptional piece for car lovers, embodying a deep understanding and love for motorsport and automobiles.
