    Description

    L.U.C Full Strike ‘Día de los Muertos’
    Ref. Number: 161947-0001
    Chopard is honoring Mexican culture with an exceptional interpretation of its L.U.C Full Strike timepiece dedicated to All Souls’ Day. This one-of-a-kind model is enhanced by the Artistic Crafts of the Manufacture thanks to miniature marquetry work done by hand. Above and beyond its esthetic prowess, this model is equipped with L.U.C Caliber 08.01-L, through which Chopard Manufacture has been demonstrating its perfect mastery of the minute repeater mechanism since 2016. The purity and clarity of its sapphire gongs with their sound that is unique in the world were hailed in 2017 by the “Aiguille d'Or” best-in-show prize at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. The successful combination of the queen of horological complications with such an original design is acknowledged by the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark.

    Equally sophisticated inside and out, this L.U.C Full Strike watch beats to the rhythm of an exceptional movement developed by Chopard Manufacture in 2016. The L.U.C Caliber 08.01-L is a mechanical minute repeater movement which strikes the hours, quarters and minutes with timeless, crystal-clear notes. The glass protecting its dial, along with its gongs providing an audible indication of time, form a single whole. Machined in one piece from a block of sapphire, without any welding, screws or glue, it gives the L.U.C Full Strike watch a unique sound intensity. This as yet unmatched construction with its inalterable acoustics is the object of one of the many patents filed by Chopard during the 15,000 or so hours required to develop L.U.C Caliber 08.01-L: a feat acknowledged in 2017 by the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève which awarded the ”Aiguille d’Or” best-in-show prize to the rose gold L.U.C Full Strike watch. Harmoniously proportioned at 42.5 by 11.55 millimeters and responsibly crafted in Ethical Gold, this new L.U.C Full Strike model is also visually appealing thanks to the detail of its bezel hand-engraved in a graphic pattern inspired by Mexican culture. The highlight of this creation is however first and foremost its dial: a veritable work of art representing a feat of miniaturisation. After more than 100 hours of painstaking work devoted to selecting, preparing and assembling the materials, the Manufacture's master dial-maker has brought to life the traditional Mexican calavera motif in a marquetry pattern composed of fine, subtly colored stones.

      L.U.C Full Strike

      In a heartfelt tribute to Mexican culture, Chopard unveils an extraordinary rendition of the L.U.C Full Strike timepiece, dedicated to All Souls’ Day. At its core lies the L.U.C Calibre 08.01-L, a testament to our Manufacture’s unparalleled mastery of the minute repeater mechanism. After more than 100 hours of meticulous craftsmanship, the master dial-maker Artisan has brought to life the traditional Mexican calavera motif in a sophisticated marquetry pattern composed of fine, subtly coloured stones. The skull is a skilful composition of miniature inlays – in milk opal, pink opal, orange and red carnelian, orange and red aventurine, golden obsidian, and black jade, punctuated by solid gold details.

      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.
