Their perfect outlines are an ode to thinness, their dials a celebration of moderation.<\/p>\n<p>A discreet shape, usually devoid of any pretentiousness, gives no hint of the complexity of the movement beating at the heart of the case. Because behind the somewhat stern exterior of ultra-thin watches, lie the inner workings of creative treasures, enhanced by remarkable mastery of technical constraints. How does one reconcile a quest for extreme thinness with the reliability required for a watch movement? An overly thin component or an excessively delicate wheel could compromise the robustness of the movement.<\/p>\n<p>Consistently pushing the boundaries of feasibility with unbelievable dexterity, certain watchmakers have made a speciality of encasing infinitesimally small parts within an equally diminutive exterior. Above and beyond their incredible mechanical performance, ultra-thin watches are a rigorously technical promise of the ultimate in delicacy, lightness and comfort on the wrist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h2\">IN PRAISE OF CLASSICISM<\/h3>\n<p>The ultimate expression of classic elegance, the L.U.C XP watch boasts ideal proportions at just 6.98 mm thick and 39.5 mm in diameter.
