The L.U.C. Quattro Spirit 25
This year, Chopard’s renowned Quattro technology will debut its first jumping hour movement at the event.
The 100-piece L.U.C. Quattro Spirit 25 collector’s edition features an eight-day power reserve, an extraordinary capacity compared to the usual 42 hours of a typical single barrel movement. This is also impressive for a jumping hour, which requires a lot of energy from the mainspring.
Chopard’s four-barrel system normally provides 216 hours of power reserve. The jumping hour version, equipped with the L.U.C 98.06-L calibre, offers 190 hours.
The dial has a white grand feu enamel back painted with a black grand feu enamel railway-style minute track. The case is made of 18-carat ethical white gold and measures 36 mm by 9.84 mm. It comes with a blue alligator leather strap. The watch is worth $61,000.
