During the 2024 Watches & Wonders event, Chopard introduced various new pieces, including the limited edition L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25, which featured a refined white gold case and a striking black enamel dial. This elegant timepiece, limited to just 100 pieces, was a sophisticated take on the original model, offering a seamless blend of high-end craftsmanship and innovative design. Powered by the impressive L.U.C 98.06-L movement, known for its eight-day power reserve, this watch embodies the best of Chopard’s horological expertise and aesthetic sensibility.This watch comes encased in Chopard’s ethical 18-carat ethical white gold, measuring 40mm in diameter and 10.3mm in thickness. The case showcases a blend of polished and brushed finishes, enhancing the elegant profile of this limited edition timepiece. Its sleek, rounded form is both modern and timeless, reflecting the sophisticated craftsmanship that defines Chopard’s L.U.C collection.
On the reverse side, the watch features a sapphire crystal caseback that not only allows a view of the meticulously finished movement but also integrates a practical power reserve indicator on the backside of the movement. This thoughtful detail ensures that the wearer can appreciate both the beauty and functionality of the watch without needing to remove it from the wrist.
It comes equipped with a signature crown at 3 o’clock, designed for easy winding. Water-resistance can reach up to 50 meters (164 feet).
The dial of the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 is a stunning display of craftsmanship, featuring a deep black Grand Feu enamel finish. This luxurious enamel dial is set on a white gold base, creating a striking contrast that enhances the elegance of the watch. The minimalistic design emphasizes clarity and sophistication, with the only markings being the central minute hand, the outer minute track, and the large digital jumping hour window positioned prominently at 6 o’clock.
The enamel dial’s glossy black surface provides a perfect backdrop for the rhodium-plated minute hand and the crisp white numerals of the jumping hour display. The absence of excessive text or additional complications ensures that the focus remains on the essential elements of timekeeping, offering a clean and timeless aesthetic.
The use of Grand Feu enamel, a technique requiring multiple layers of enamel powder to be carefully applied and fired at high temperatures, results in a dial that is not only visually captivating but also incredibly durable. This technique guarantees that the deep black color will remain vibrant and intact for decades to come.
