L.U.C XPS Spirit Of Nature – Putting Ethics At The Heart Of Aesthetics
Born in the workshops of Chopard Manufacture as a result of its ethical approach, the L.U.C XPS Spirit of Nature timepiece is an ode to the beauty, strength and regenerative capacity of the forest. Its dial, colours, ethical ‘Fairmined’ certified gold case and vegetable-tanned bracelet are all guarantees of the Maison’s respect for the environment.

Chopard’s ethical commitment
Within the value system of the L.U.C. collection, elegance is not merely an aesthetic approach. It encompasses rectitude, ethics and respect for the causes that preserve our living environment. Chopard has been pursuing its Journey towards Sustainable Luxury through numerous initiatives, since 2013, and with the L.U.C XPS Spirit of Nature unveils a new timepiece that matches words with actions.

L.U.C horological excellence
Because ethics and aesthetics cannot be combined without the additional charm of technique, L.U.C XPS Spirit of Nature is equipped with an ultra-thin L.U.C 96.12-L calibre, enabling the watch to measure just 7.2 mm thick.

Carefully selected leather
A careful selection process has been applied to the strap of the L.U.C XPS Spirit of Nature to ensure it is environmentally friendly. Made of alligator leather certified by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) designed to protect endangered wildlife species against over-exploitation through trade, this has been subjected to an all-vegetable tanning process, based on the bark of trees such as oak or hazelnut, and is of course chromium-free.
