L.U.C is Chopard's own movement line, named for the founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard, and it exists because the family decided in the 1990s to stop buying calibres in. This reference sits at the thin end of it, built around a micro-rotor: the winding weight is sunk into the movement instead of sitting on top of it, which is how an automatic gets this slim. COSC certifies it as a chronometer.
- A micro-rotor sits within the movement's own thickness rather than above it, so an automatic can be built nearly as thin as a hand-wound watch.

How do I check a Chopard 161948-5001 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
