Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 40mm Watch 161977-0003

Chopard presents the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Straw Marquetry Edition, an exceptional expression of Métiers d'Art craftsmanship combined with high mechanical innovation. Crafted in 18ct ethical yellow gold and limited to just eight pieces, this refined timepiece features a gold based dial adorned with natural straw marquetry, one of the rare artisanal crafts preserved within Chopard Manufacture. Carefully selected rye straw grown in France is hand split and meticulously assembled to form a geometric honeycomb motif, paying tribute to Louis Ulysse Chopard and the bee emblem symbolising collective excellence at the heart of a true Manufacture. The case measures 40mm in diameter with a slim 10.30mm profile and is inspired by the elegant curvature of historic Chopard pocket watches. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the matching 18ct ethical yellow gold crown ensures visual continuity. A discreet aperture at 6 o'clock displays the jumping hour with clarity, preserving the harmony and purity of the design. Water resistant to 50 metres, the watch balances refined aesthetics with everyday practicality. At its heart lies the L.U.C 98.06 L calibre, a remarkably thin hand finished movement featuring the highly regarded jumping hour complication. Powered by exclusive Chopard Quattro technology, four stacked barrels deliver an exceptional 192 hour power reserve with constant force transmission for outstanding chronometric stability. Visible through sapphire crystal case back, the movement is meticulously finished to the exacting standards of the Poinçon de Genève, guaranteeing exceptional craftsmanship across both the movement and the case.
