Watches and Wonders 2024: Chopard L.U.C QUATTRO SPIRIT 25. Some quick thoughts.
amanico
I will come back to this watch later, but for the moment, I wanted to share with you a watch I consider as one of this year highlights, the LUC QUATTRO SPIRIT 25, in white gold.
So this version adds power to elegance. A winner, in my opinion and heart. Add the Heures Sautantes ( jumping hours ) and we have an original beauty.
40 mm case, 10, 30 mm high, the proportions are very good, in my opinion.
But wait... This is not all. While the 2021 edition came in rose gold with a white grand feu enamel dial, this one comes black grand feu enamel dial!
So this version adds power to elegance. A winner, in my opinion and heart. Add the Heures Sautantes ( jumping hours ) and we have an original beauty.
The other great asset of this watch is its movement, the Cal LUC 98.06L, which is a delicious 8 days movement, manual winding, nicely decorated, with 8 days indicator which has the good taste to be located on the back, and which " receives " the Geneva Seal.
Well, this is not a real novelty, of course but a nice and mandatory iteration for those who liked the previous version, but in white metal.
Well done, Chopard, you are tempting me once more, and it might well go into my collection!!!
Best,
Nicolas

Very powerful dial It puts the brand in focus... but I am not too convinced about the L.U.Chopard... Would love to try that one on

I can tell you that there are not too many Chopard I like, but this one is one of the few I would love to own!

This looks a lot better than the white dial version because the black dial makes the watch look smaller. In addition, it is more difficult to produce a black enamel than a white enamel dial. Bravo to Chopard because I feel its novelties were arguably the best among the bigger brands.

I have to agree. The rose gold was superb, this one is sublime. Adn yes, so far my favorite among all the novelties!

Phillips quoted George Daniels when announcing an exhibition in Geneva this May to pay tribute to independent watchmaking: “ Independence is the utmost importance in life. Without it you are subject to the whims of other people. You are pinned down to a particular area, a particular routine. Independence is crucially important in life, especially in the life of a watchmaker .” In his Introduction to the book Watchmakers – The Masters of Art Horology Aurel Bacs emphasises [p.
