    Description

    L.U.C XP Nihontō
    Ref. Number: 161986-1001
    At the confluence of Swiss Haute Horlogerie and Japanese craftsmanship, Chopard unveils a limited edition of 25 L.U.C XP Nihontō timepieces, whose dials are handcrafted from damascened steel using a method inspired by Tamahagane, the sacred steel of Japanese swords (known as nihontō). Composed of 120 to 160 layers, this unique dial reveals moiré patterns evoking the undulations of fire alongside the Zen philosophy of impermanence. Its refined aesthetic is complemented by the precision of the ultra-thin L.U.C 96.41-L movement, featuring a 22-carat gold micro-rotor and a 65-hour power reserve. Bearing the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, this creation embodies the excellence of Chopard Manufacture, which masters the full range of watchmaking skills in-house and is committed to preserving Artistic crafts. A rare work of art blending ancestral craftsmanship with contemporary innovation.

    Identity

    A blend of heritage and modernity

    In the midst of the 1990s, when traditional watchmaking was striving to recover from the sweeping influence of the quartz crisis, Chopard Co-President, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele created a workshop responsible for developing the first in-house calibre to pay tribute to the legacy of the Maison's founder, Louis-Ulysse Chopard. Named L.U.C 96.01-L, the automatic micro-rotor movement, versatile and unrivalled at the time, marked the birth of Chopard Manufacture and the L.U.C. luxury watch collection.

    Movements

    22 registered patents

    In the 25 years since their creation, our workshops have been instrumental in developing a comprehensive set of watch movements that cover almost all existing horological complications. This ongoing commitment to innovation and improvement is evident in our twenty-two registered patents.
