As with any L.U.C watches, the new model is crafted according to the highest Swiss standards including a case of white gold certified as Fairmined. The QF in the name refers to Qualite Fleurier that requires the watch that bears this in-house quality seal to abide by a stringent of manufacturing process from the choice of materials to the finishing.

The “Twist” refers to some design tweaks. First, the crown and seconds sub-dial have been moved, now positioned at ‘4’ and ‘7’ respectively. The  ‘12’ numeral is missing, replaced by a pair of facetted markers – it’s the only L.U.C watch in the entire collection to have this feature.

They may be nice diversions but this L.U.C remains a classic gentleman’s watch with its classically round case, satin-brushed sunburst dial in grey-blue hue, slender Dauphine fusee-type hands and a robust in-house movement endowed with the manufacture’s signature two stacked barrels.
