While it pains me to say this, it is nevertheless true: increasingly tough market situations have forced watch brands to ease back on releasing new super complicated watches. We have become used to seeing a handful of these so-called “halo watch” novelties every single year, but that no longer is the case as R&D budgets are cut and the financial sustainability is questionable for such eye-wateringly expensive projects. Worry not, though, as the all-new Chopard L.U.C Full Strike cheap fake watches are here and, frankly, it has everything going for it to become any real watch lover’s wet dream. Let’s see how it looks, works, and sounds, hands-on.

First, some context – and I’ll try and keep this as brief as possible. In 2016, Chopard cheap fake watches CA are proudly celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Chopard Manufacture, a highly capable manufacture in Fleurier, Switzerland, that has been producing both some great looking in-house (not-so-)base movements like in the Mille Miglia 2016 XL , as well as even more refined, top grade Chopard L.U.C watches and their wholly in-house calibers. The Chopard L.U.C Full Strike is the first minute repeater ever made by Chopard, and they say it took them six years to develop it – a commendable effort, because, like so many others, they too totally could have sourced a base minute repeater from one of the numerous suppliers… but they didn’t.
I’ll go out on a limb and say this: over the last few years, Chopard’s high-end, in-house L.U.C division has grown to be one of the most impressive suppliers of beautifully finished, uniquely and thoughtfully engineered and, last but not least, useful-feature-laden timepieces. Yet, Chopard to this day remains sort of an underdog, and while there is no doubt to Chopard L.U.C slowly but surely earning the reputation it deserves, a serious halo-piece like, you know, a kick-ass minute repeater might expedite the process.

533 Movement Parts & One Patented Component…
Chopard appears to have let loose a bit (quite a bit) and created something that would at last show off the full range of in-house capabilities of the Louis-Ulysse Chopard (L.U.C) manufacture: the brand’s first minute repeater, the Chopard L.U.C Full Strike, an all new, 533-component, 60-hour power reserve, Geneva Seal-certified chiming watch, set inside an 18k “Fairmined” rose gold case.

The latest addition from Chopard cheap replica watches to the XP line is the L.U.C XP Skeletec, a watch where the Geneva-based manufacture applies the art of skeletonizing to an ultra thin movement.

The slate-grey sunburst satin-brushed dial forms a ring between the 39.50 mm x 7.13 mm rose gold case and the skeletonised mechanical self-winding movement L.U.C Calibre 96.17-S, introduced in 2012 as the first skeletonised calibre produced by the Chopard Manufacture.

The ultra-thin movement Chopard fake watches beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and offers a remarkable 65-hour power reserve thanks to the Twin technology, a Chopard-patented system which combines two coaxial barrels, a technical feat if you consider that the movement is just 3.3 mm thick.

Mainplate and bridges are adorned with Côtes de Genève on the dial side and openworked to reveal the details of the mechanism and its gear wheels.

The dial is completed by rose gold hour-markers and Dauphine hands.

The Chopard L.U.C XP Skeletec series replica watches (ref. 161936-5003) is a limited edition of 288 numbered pieces and has a price of Euro 19,320.
