Chopard has launched the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 ‘Year of the Dragon,’ an exclusive eight-piece limited edition timepiece crafted in ethical 18-carat rose gold. This new model, celebrating Chopard Manufacture’s 25th anniversary, features a hand-engraved dragon on its gold dial and showcases the brand’s innovative jumping-hour technology.
The L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 is equipped with the L.U.C 98.06-L movement, a technical marvel introduced for the first time. This model includes Chopard’s exclusive Quattro technology, which allows for an impressive eight-day power reserve.
The 40 mm case houses a meticulously hand-engraved dragon motif, requiring over 100 hours of craftsmanship. The dragon, inspired by Qing dynasty tapestries, is depicted with its sovereign nature and intricate details.
The watch’s design incorporates a rounded case reminiscent of vintage pocket watches and features a salmon leather strap, echoing the dragon’s scales.
The jumping-hour mechanism is highlighted by its energy-efficient design, which is rare in its category and contributes to the watch’s superior accuracy and longevity.
Visible through the transparent case-back, the movement is finished with a swan’s neck regulator and Phillips terminal curve, enhancing precision and aesthetic appeal. The L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 stands out for its combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation, reflecting Chopard’s dedication to horological excellence.
