Nonetheless, the new face the brand has given it this year expresses a personality all its own. While its signature features are definitely there in the shape of the small seconds subdial and the fan-shaped power-reserve display at 12 o\u2019clock, they have been simplified and fine-tuned, as has the minute track. Roman numerals have given way to blue Arabic numerals at 3 and 9 o\u2019clock only, complemented by Dauphine-type hour-markers matching the shape of the hands, and in the same shade of blue. The paring-down of the new silver-toned dial does not reflect the impressive characteristics of its caliber, whose four stacked and series-coupled barrels \u2013 a world first when first launched \u2013 give the timepiece its name and endow it with a 216-hour power reserve. The Poin\u00e7on de Gen\u00e8ve quality hallmark together with COSC chronometer certification add significant prestige to this L.U.C Quattro whose understated contemporary design is enhanced by a new woven-effect blue leather strap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L.U.C Quattro CASE : 18K rose gold, glareproofed sapphire crystal and caseback, polished bezel and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":28493,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28497"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28497"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28499,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28497\/revisions\/28499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
