Description

L.U.C Full Strike Dia de los Muertos
Ref. Number: 171947-1004
For the 12th consecutive year, Chopard Manufacture honours the Day of the Dead with a special edition of its L.U.C Full Strike timepiece, blending Fine Watchmaking with vibrant cultural homage. Crafted in 18-carat ethical white gold and measuring 42.5 by 11.55 mm, the case features hand-engraved motifs inspired by Mexican graphic traditions, while the bezel is set with baguette-cut emeralds. At the centre of this creation is a dial brought to life by an Artisan enameller: the skull motif – or calavera in Spanish – is composed of champlevé white gold surrounded by green Grand Feu enamel, with hammers and power-reserve indicators forming the eye sockets, teeth in white enamel, and a sunburst guilloché gold background completing the joyful composition. Echoing the artistic tradition of vanitas, the calavera serves as a reminder that all beautiful things are destined to fade.

Fully developed, produced and assembled in the Chopard High Watchmaking workshops, the L.U.C 08.01-L caliber is the first manually wound minute repeater movement in the world to feature a striking system whose gongs and sapphire crystal form a single monobloc. It boasts two barrels – one for the hour, which guarantees the watch a 60-hour power reserve, and the other for the striking mechanism which enables it to sound the longest time indication, 12:59, twelve times. In addition to being certified Poinçon de Genève quality and holding a COSC certification as a Chronometer, this movement enabled the development of a unique on-demand striking system, as well as four patents.

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.
