L.U.C. Tech Twist "CronotempVs I"

A rather mysterious/unknown piece, the "CronotemVs I" has just been delivered to the initial founding members of a private watch collectors club. A sporty interpretation of Chopard's L.U.C. Tech Twist for a private watch collectors club. The first L.U.C. watch with a DLC watch case. The movement is rhodium plated in black with yellow writing to match the indices and yellow Luminova.


Marrying a traditional or classical watch with a more modern sporty look was a bargain but it turns out to work rather well.


CronotempVs is a private watch collectors club that started in Spain yet has since its birth last year several foreign members as well. In order to be accepted you must have a godfather and a board will vote your adherence to the club. Should one not have any access to a member of the club to be introduced there is always the option to prove that you could be a valuable member of this organization either by contributing in knowledge or simply passion for horology. A letter introducing oneself to the organization directly is the first step...


CronotempVs ordered 20 of these to celebrate their first anniversary. Subsequently there will be one watch ordered per year. What will be the next piece is as of now unknown but it will be, like this one, a piece to be remembered.

Beautiful! Any more info on the pen?

I believe it is a Mille Miglia pen with "CronotempVs" engraved on the... well, I have no idea how it is called. You can see it on the picture I believe. (If you know the correct term for that please let me know.)

The cufflinks match the pen. Both have this rubber thread that resembles the design of tires of older or classic sports cars. That is all I know...

Wow! What is this based upon??? I like it! Will they make any more?

Well, quite frankly I have no idea where to place this. It is a high-end classical watch with a modern design characteristics usually seen in larger sporty watches. To have a thin watch like that in such a finish is very unusual to say the least. Most watches with such modern finishes tend to be flashy hamburger sized clunkers. Why not something more normal?

To be honest, it works for me.
