Muammar Gaddafi Orders 250 Luxury Watches from Chopard

August29

Muammar Gaddafi

In the last post, we talked about the bold dress style of Mr.Fashion Muammar Gaddafi-the Libyan Supreme Leader who is highly controversial. Well, obviously, he great expression of self-ego. He wants to be different. He wants to be focus of attention. No matter what others say, he always  wears what he want and shows his own taste and style.  Besides,distinctivve dresses and sunglass, Gaddafi loves luxury watches. Well, watches are the most important luxury accessories for man. As a Mr. Fashion, Garrafi knows well this point. It is reported that, he has made a large order from Chopard that contains 250 limited edition watches worth around 8 million Swiss Francs. These exceptional watches are ordered to celebrate his 40th anniversary of being in office. As I mentioned before, he is the longest reigning leader in Africa and Arab world by now.

And this big order does mean something to Chopard that suffers a lot from the financial crisis. But is it a wise move to save the situation by accepting the order from a controversial despot? Only time will tell. Anyway, I do expect the look of those Gaddafi watches by Chopard. And I guess, they must bear some likeness of Gaddafi on appearance. Maybe.

2009 New Chopard luc twist wrist watch

The Original Chopard L.U.C Twist watch was created in 2006.Since it was  endowed with attractive look and exquisite soul- Chopard 1.96 caliber, Chopard’s first in-house automatic caliber, it was particularly well-received as a contemporary dress model. But Chopard seems to not so content with the success. Early this year, it launched the second generation of the L.U.C Twist watch.

2009 NEW Chopard L.U.C Twist watch -Dial

The new  L.U.C Twist watches is offered in either white gold and rose gold version: the former presents slightly sporty black dial with white gold Dauphine hands while the latter uses classic silver dial with rose gold Dauphine hands.A major improvement has been made on the dial for better legibility. As we know, the old models feature the combination of guilloched white gold center and white gold/rose gold hands. This design presents quite a cosmetic beauty. However, it affects watches readability, especially on that white gold version. New L.U.C Twist watches avoid this problem and look perfect with a more austere look. The dial showcases raised Arabic hour markers , small seconds subdial at 7 o’clock position and the date display at 3 o’clock, nothing different from old models.

The case construction also remains the same, 41mm at diameter and 10mm thick . It has equipped sapphire crystal at front and back. The watch crown is still located at 4 o’clock position. The exquisite L.U.C 1.96 calibre, incorporated with twin mainspring barrels,  boats a stunning 70 -hour power reserve . The precision and reliability has been proved by the strict tests of the COSC.
