ASTRO-LOGICAL!
When arts and crafts meet quality watchmaking, Chopard approaches the sublime with a unique piece reserved for seasoned collectors.
As the Chinese New Year draws near, many watchmakers are unveiling timepieces displaying the astrological signs for the coming year. Chopard’s L.U.C Perpetual T – Spirit of the Chinese Zodiac includes all the signs of the zodiac in chronological order. They all figure on the body of a 43mm-wide case made of rose gold with a black patina. To achieve this result, the champlevé engraving technique was used to cut into the material with great care. It took 200 hours of work to finish this piece, which is unique in more than one way!
The L.U.C Perpetual T – Spirit of the Chinese Zodiac comes with an elegant hand-sewn alligator leather strap. For all the exemplary finishes and its high-quality watchmaking movement, the watch has, of course, been given the Geneva Seal.
