The L.U.C Calibre 01.09-L features a COSC-certified high-frequency escapement running at 8 Hz, or 57,600 vibrations per hour. Created by Chopard Technologies in Fleurier, this mechanical movement maintains a 60-hour power reserve via a single barrel, balancing high-frequency reliability with efficient energy consumption. The construction incorporates silicon components for the escapement—including the lever, escape wheel, and impulse-pin—using a patent-pending technique for attaching silicon to steel.
