Watches at J2 Trading

It was Karl Scheufele that returned the company to its traditional roots in manufacturing its own mechanical watch movements, and in 1996 the L.U.C 1860 movement was introduced with a Breguet balance spring and 22 carat gold microrotor.

Inspired by and named for Chopard founder, Louis Ulysse Chopard, it was chosen the following year as watch of the year by trade journalists and watch dealers.

This luxurious sports watch features a distinctive bezel that turns at a click to indicate the hour in a second time zone on a 24-hour scale. Orange and black combine to create a harmonious aesthetic effect, including orange stitching on the black leather band and Superluminova numerals on the bezel.

Protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire window, the round black dial has a date calendar at three o’clock and dynamically shaped hands and hour markers enhanced with white Superluminova for easy time-keeping in the dark.

The 45 mm case, bezel, and screw-down crown are made with high quality stainless steel. Powered with automatic self-winding movement, this stunning men’s watch is water resistant to 1,000 feet.
