Ant's acquisition of the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit with a black enamel dial, specifically serial number 001, offers a rare glimpse into the immediate allure and long-term satisfaction of a significant horological purchase. His detailed account, from initial encounter at Watches & Wonders to daily wear, provides invaluable insights for collectors considering Chopard's haute horlogerie offerings. This article explores why this particular reference captivates enthusiasts and what makes it a standout piece in a discerning collection.

Continuing my tale of irresponsibility, at this year's W&W Ken Koshiyama showed me their wonderful Quattro Spirit with a black enamael dial. To say I was knocked out would be an understatement.

For me it embodied many of the virtues I look for in a watch:

Simple and legible

Elegent

Rare

Enamel dial

And that certain sprinkle of magic that's hard to define.

What's a chap to do when faced with such overwhelming desireability? Resistance is futile, so I did what any of us addicts would when faced with such magnetic attraction,,,,, I succumbed and ordered one!

Mea culpa, mea maxima, I'm guilty of watchpassion in the first degree.

When I took delivery I was flabbergasted to receive S/N 001! What an honour to receive such a fabulous watch and 001. Thank you Ken and all at team Chopard!!

I have had it for about two weeks, the time keeping is outstanding. It is a joy to wear.

The other thing is the lovely case shape, it's sort of plump (I can't think of a better word to describe it), the sides are convex which gives it an organic feel. I tried (and in my view failed) to show them in the pics.

Thanks for reading!

Key Points from the Discussion

The discreet hourly 'click' of the jumping hour disc is a subtle, unexpected detail that significantly enhances the pleasure of wearing the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit.
The Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit's appeal lies in its black enamel dial, jumping hour complication, elegant fonts, and its balanced 40mm x 10mm case size, housing a powerful manual-wind movement.
The black enamel dial's sparse design necessitates meticulous attention to every detail, a standard Chopard has successfully met with the Quattro Spirit.
The author's acquisition of the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit was part of a strategic effort to consolidate and slim down his collection, replacing three other watches.
The Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit was a standout introduction at W&W24, drawing significant attention alongside new Toric models from Parmigiani Fleurier.
The rose gold version of the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit is also highly convincing and elegant, suggesting the design's versatility across different precious metals.

I love this watch too when Ken showed it to me in Kuala Lumpur last month. As usual we like the same watches and I am glad you have secured number one! Enjoy wearing it and owning it!

I am seriously trying to slim down my collection. This replaced three watches, so I am slowly achieving my aim. Kindest regards, Antony
