In 1996, Chopard entered a pivotal new phase with the launch of the L.U.C collection, named in tribute to its founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard. With the establishment of its manufacture in Fleurier, the Maison reaffirmed its dedication to traditional Swiss watchmaking, introducing timepieces that combined refined in-house mechanical movements with elegant, classically inspired aesthetics. Reference 16/1860 belongs to this important first generation of L.U.C wristwatches and embodies the collection’s original philosophy: timeless design, technical excellence and understated luxury. Produced in a limited series of 100 examples, the present watch is housed in a yellow gold case with softly curved lugs and a warm polished finish, offering a refined and balanced presence on the wrist. The dark dial is enhanced by an elegant guilloché centre, framed by applied yellow gold hour markers and slender dauphine hands, creating a composition of remarkable harmony and restraint. Of particular note is the hunter caseback, a hinged solid gold cover that opens to reveal the movement, adding both functionality and charm. The inner cover is engraved “25 May 2001” from A.& M. Scheufele to “Curt.” — a detail of special significance given the Scheufele family’s ownership of the Maison since 1963.
