L.U.C Full Strike Spirit of the Warrior

Specifications

About this reference

Inspired by the world of samurai and the moral principles defining the discipline of Japanese warriors, Chopard unveils a one-of-a-kind model from its L.U.C Full Strike collection, enhanced by artistic crafts. This timepiece embodies the meeting of Swiss Haute Horlogerie and Japanese traditions in an expressive work where every hand-engraved detail tells a story. Entirely engraved by Chopard's artisan engraver, this watch becomes a narrative work, where each surface tells a story. The dial opens onto the menpō mask of a samurai: an emblematic figure whose code of honor, discipline and loyalty resonate with the values of Haute Horlogerie. Frightening the enemy with its ferocity, shaggy moustache and gaping mouth, it evokes the iron masks of the Edo period. This central character, both dramatic and powerful, sets the tone for a martial aesthetic imbued with strength and symbolism. Equipped with Chopard's iconic minute repeater movement, the L.U.C 08.01-L (itself hand-decorated), this timepiece offers unrivaled crystal-clear sound. Through this creation, which has been awarded the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, Chopard celebrates the nobility of the gesture, the rigor of craftsmanship and the beauty of symbolism.
