On the occasion of the TimeForArt auction, the Manufacture Chopard presents an exclusive edition of its exceptional jumping hour watch: the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 TimeForArt Edition is a unique creation with pure lines and a hand-engraved dial stylized skull motif inspired by the ‘vanitas’ theme.
Chopard uses 18 karat ethical pink gold for the 40mm case, and Chopard equips the innovative and refined L.U.C 98.06-L movement with four barrels based on its own exclusive Quattro technology, providing up to 8 days of power storage, which makes the Chopard Manufacture The Jumping Hours one of the rare watches in this category with such a degree of autonomy.
From the movement to the dial showing the time window at 6 o’clock, the watchmakers have produced the entire watchmaking process in the tradition of in-house art craftsmanship, thus ensuring the high level of finish that the prestigious Poinçon in Geneva deserves.
In 2021, the Chopard Manufacture presented its first jumping hour watch: the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25. Highly prized by collectors, this watchmaking complication now receives an extremely pure interpretation that combines audacity and technical brilliance in a new unique piece. friendly model dedicated to TimeForArt. Offering a mix of tradition and modernity, its ethical 18-carat rose gold case features rounded shapes inspired by the hunter-type cases of pocket replica watches once designed by Louis-Ulysse Chopard.
The L.U.C 98.06-L movement that equips this watch is one of the few in this category of best fake watches, which generally consume a large amount of energy, offering up to eight days of power reserve. Thanks to the four barrels stacked and coupled in series based on the exclusive Chopard Quattro technology -which usually allows up to 216 hours of autonomy-, the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 TimeForArt Edition maintains a reserve of more than 190 hours despite the amount of energy necessary for the rotation of the hour disk.
Visible through an exhibition caseback, this hand-wound mechanical movement measuring just 4.85mm thick features considerable complexity that ensures both reliability and precision.
Equipped with a Phillips terminal curve, the balance spring can precisely control the oscillations of the regulating mechanism, a feat that only a true Haute Horlogerie manufacturer can do. Chopard also equips the movement with a gooseneck adjuster that allows finer adjustment of the watch.
Inspired by the enigmatic Mexican skull “Dìade los Muertos”, the striking faces featured on this L.U.C dial are a common theme also used in “vanitas” paintings and are a constant reminder of the inevitable passage of time, designed to remind The shortness and fragility of the viewer’s life. A theme Chopard replica watches is familiar with, as he has daringly reinterpreted it in certain special edition replica watches.
Equally noble inside and out, the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 TimeForArt Edition displays the time on a completely hand-engraved dial. The white gold background of the dial is first adorned with a radiant pattern, whereby the engraver draws some reference lines with a scribe before engraving the rays with a chisel.
These regular concentric lines evoke rays of sunlight that illuminate the path of the dead to facilitate their return to Earth. With the help of a scorpion, the master craftsman outlines the skull motif to add depth to the one-millimeter-thick dial. The elements and details drawn in this way are then modeled with a burnishing machine that grinds and pushes the material, together with scorpions and gouges.
The skull is then satin-finished with fiberglass, while the other embellishments on the dial are polished by hand using boxwood sticks coated with polishing paste.
The flower petals that surround the orbits have a shiny exterior with diamond paté, while their interior is endowed with a matte effect to recreate the depth of the cavity.
Finally, the engraver covers the surface of the dial with a thin layer of silver,
which is oxidized with ether to blacken the gaps and accentuate the patterns. When the craftsman applies the ether with a brush, the liquid is spread over the surface accordingly
and then the raised surfaces are touched up to ensure that only the hollows are blackened by oxidation. The richly detailed dial comes to life under the humble and sensitive gaze of the craftsman. Patience, consistency and painstaking care were essential in creating this sphere, which took four weeks to complete.
The hours appear through a window located at 6 o’clock in the mouth of the skull, accordingly
so that the minute hand does not obscure the view of the time change, which occurs instantaneously. The white gold window frame accentuates the sobriety of the large black Arabic numerals displaying the hours on a white background.
The high-quality work dedicated to the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 TimeForArt Edition has earned it the Poinçon de Genève. Governed by strict criteria of excellence, accordingly
this coveted label is awarded exclusively to a few watchmaking creations whose beauty provides the perfect setting for a perfectly functioning mechanism. It guarantees not only the quality, precision and reliability of the movement and the watch as a whole,
