The L.U.C. Full Strike blends classic complication with modern innovation. Its patented sapphire gong system offers a fresh take on the minute repeater, housed in a refined 42.5 mm case. This watch strikes the hours, quarters, and minutes on transparent sapphire crystal gongs - the resulting sound performance is "crystal-clear," and arguably louder and more distinctive than a traditional minute repeater that utilizes metallic gongs. Its caliber 08.01-L required almost 15'000 hours of development and 3 patents. The Chopard L.U.C. Full Strike is limited to 20 pieces.
