Description
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of its creation, Chopard Manufacture presents its first jumping-hour timepiece: the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25. Housed in a 40-millimetre case featuring the L.U.C collection’s characteristically sleek lines and crafted from ethical 18-carat rose gold, its innovative and ultra-sophisticated L.U.C 98.06-L movement is equipped with four barrels based on the exclusive Chopard Quattro technology enabling up to eight days of power reserve. This makes it one of the rare jumping-hour watches with such a degree of autonomy. From the movement to the white Grand Feu enamel dial on which the hours aperture appears at 6 o'clock, the entire watchmaking creation, issued in a 100-piece limited series, is produced in-house thanks to the artistic crafts mastered by the artisans of the Manufacture, thus ensuring a high level of finishing duly rewarded by the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.

Movement
Entirely developed, produced and assembled in the Chopard High Watchmaking workshops, the hand-wound mechanical L.U.C 98.06-L movement beats to a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and possesses a power reserve of 192 hours (8 days) thanks to Quattro technology, a system invented and patented by Chopard that combines two pairs of coaxial barrels, a particularly remarkable technical achievement considering the extreme slenderness of the movement at just 4.85 mm thick.
