Housed in a 40-millimetre case featuring the L.U.C collection’s characteristically sleek lines and crafted from ethical 18-carat rose gold, its innovative and ultra-sophisticated L.U.C 98.06-L movement is equipped with four barrels based on the exclusive Chopard Quattro technology enabling up to eight days of power reserve.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
This makes it one of the rare jumping-hour watches with such a degree of autonomy. On the Grand Feu enamel dial, Chopard Manufacture’s enamelling Artisan has reinterpreted the Statue of Liberty through a pop-art-inspired design. From movement to dial, this one-of-a-kind model is entirely produced in-house thanks to the artistic crafts mastered by the artisans of the Manufacture, thus ensuring a high level of finishing duly rewarded by the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO
In 2021, Chopard Manufacture introduced its first-ever jumping-hour watch in the form of a pure interpretation combining an understated design with the technical boldness typical of the L.U.C. collection. The workshops are now offering an exclusive reinterpretation of this model. Combining tradition and modernity, the case of the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Fifth Avenue Edition in ethical 18-carat rose gold features rounded shapes inspired by the hunter-type cases of the pocket watches once designed by Louis-Ulysse Chopard.

The L.U.C 98.06-L movement with which it is equipped is one of the few in this category of watches – which generally consume a great deal of energy – to offer up to eight days of power reserve. Thanks to the four stacked and series-coupled barrels based on the unique Chopard Quattro technology – which usually allows up to 216 hours of autonomy – the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Fifth Avenue Edition maintains an over 190- hour power reserve despite the amount of energy required for the rotation of the hours disc.

Visible through a transparent arena case-back, this highly complicated mechanical movement with manual winding guarantees reliability and precision within an overall thickness of just 4.85 millimetres. The balance-spring is equipped with a Phillips terminal curve that precisely controls the oscillations of the regulating organ – a feat of which only authentic Fine Watchmaking manufactures are capable. The movement is also fitted with a swan’s neck regulator enabling fine adjustment of this calibre.
Artistic craft: a tribute dial fashioned by the Chopard Manufacture enamelling Artisan
Equally noble both inside and out, the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Fifth Avenue Edition timepiece displays the time on a blue dial adorned with a monument cherished by Americans: the Statue of Liberty, standing proudly at the mouth of the Hudson River.

Crafted on a base in ethical 18-carat rose gold, this Grand Feu enamelled dial is fired several times at very high temperatures (820°C). The hours appear through an aperture positioned at 6 o’clock so as to ensure that the minutes hand does not obscure the sight of the hours change, which takes place instantaneously.

Patience, constancy and meticulousness were essential to the creation of this enamelled dial. The integration of this artistic craft demonstrates Chopard CoPresident Karl-Friedrich Scheufele’s desire to make Chopard Manufacture a centre of excellence dedicated to traditional watchmaking expertise.
Precision: Poinçon de Genève-certified finishing
The high-quality work devoted to the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Fifth Avenue Edition has earned it the Poinçon de Genève. Governed by strict criteria of excellence, this highly coveted label is awarded exclusively to a few watchmaking creations whose beauty provides the perfect setting for a flawlessly functioning mechanism. It guarantees not only the quality, precision and reliability of the movement and the watch as a whole, but also ensures that the assembly was carried out in the canton of Geneva, the historical cradle of Fine Watchmaking.
