Ultra-thin watches are now “Internet celebrities” in the watch industry. Their lightweight designs make people fall in love with them, but do you know that their core movements are the real essence? Today, let’s talk about the Chopard L.U.C.

Ultra-thin watches are currently a hot topic in bezels. Its appearance breaks the heaviness of traditional mechanical watches, allowing the wearer to enjoy precise timekeeping while also having a light wearing experience. It is worth mentioning that although the ultra-thin watch is very eye-catching in appearance, its core movement is the real essence.

For example, the Chopard L.U.C. The performance of this movement is quite excellent. In addition to reducing the appearance of the watch, it can also provide a 65-hour kinetic energy reserve. In other words, even if you don’t wear the watch for two days, it can still maintain accurate timekeeping.

As one of Switzerland’s top luxury brands, Chopard’s launch of ultra-thin watches is a matter of course. To a large extent, it inherits the design concept of modern watches, which not only focuses on the artistry of appearance, but also emphasizes comfort when wearing, which is especially important for ultra-thin watches.

Domestic brands are not to be outdone

In recent years, domestic brands have also shown strong competitiveness in the research and development of ultra-thin watches. Taking Behrens as an example, the Creator Series BHR030 watch it launched is a very successful work. The size of this watch is 42.6mm x 38.6mm, and it is 5.2mm thick. It is equipped with a self-produced BM02 manual mechanical movement and has a power reserve of 38 hours. Although the power reserve is not as good as that of Chopard’s movement, it weighs only 11 grams, which is almost the limit. The wearer can hardly feel any burden on the wrist.

In addition to Behrens, Jaeger-LeCoultre is also a veteran in the field of ultra-thin watches. Its ultra-thin Master Series Q1238480 watch is a living example. This watch is 39 mm in diameter and 7.8 mm thick. It is equipped with Caliber 899 automatic movement and also has a 38-hour power reserve. Although this watch is slightly inferior to Chopard in thickness, it is still a very good ultra-thin watch.

Jaeger-LeCoultre is one of the pioneers of the ultra-thin design concept. As early as 1907, it launched a pocket watch with a thickness of only 1.38 mm. This was almost unimaginable at the time. The ultra-thin watches we see today are generally more than 4 mm, but this pocket watch is less than 2 mm. Although it seems that this pocket watch is no longer ultra-thin, it was indeed a huge breakthrough at the time, and Jaeger-LeCoultre has therefore become an important milestone in the development of ultra-thin watches.

Summarize

From the above introduction, it is not difficult to find that although ultra-thin watches are not cheap in price, the wearing experience and artistic enjoyment it brings are definitely worth the money. In particular, the three models of Chopard, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Behrens can be regarded as the best even among domestic watches worth 10,000 yuan.
