This unisex watch is equipped with L..C 12.96 caliber.
Chopard launched their own watchmaking manufacture in 1993. Right after the launch, the company started to program an original caliber. L..C 1.96 was introduced in 1996 and gained a huge success. Professional media called it "probably the finest automatic movement being produced in Switzerland today" and awarded it the "Watch of the Year." L..C 1.96 remains in production today and is an amazing example of modern technology. The punctuated abbreviation L. . C stands for founder Louis lysse Chopard. Sometimes it could be spelled as “LC” and never as “L..C.”, so there is something to pay attention to while buying vintage Chopard watch. Chopard Manufacture produces the L..C calibers mostly by hands.
This bold minimalist vintage watch is made of 18 karat yellow gold; it carries a Swiss made automatic movement and an original Chopard leather strap.
