L.U.C Quattro Mark IV

A quarter-century after the launch of the first L.U.C Quattro timepiece in 2000, Chopard Manufacture celebrates the 25^th anniversary of its Quattro movement by presenting a brand-new edition in platinum, featuring a 39-millimetre case reshaped in line with the latest L.U.C aesthetic. A major innovation in the field of Haute Horlogerie, the exclusive Chopard Quattro technology has earned the L.U.C collection major recognition thanks to the first calibre powered by four series-coupled barrels stacked in pairs and containing exactly 1.885 metres of springs. This configuration enables an exceptional total power reserve of 216 hours (nine days), delivered with constant force to the escapement. The regularity of operation is ensured by a balance oscillating at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour, a guarantee of impeccable precision chronometer-certified by the COSC. Recognition by the Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark confirms the refinement of this L.U.C Quattro - Mark IV timepiece both technically and aesthetically.

Crafted in platinum, the case features a bassine shape, meaning its base is narrower than its domed, polished bezel. Reflecting craftsmanship inspired by the pocket watches that emerged from Louis-Ulysse Chopard’s creative heritage in the 19^th century, this distinctive profile creates an impressive sense of visual sophistication. This new case with its vertical satin-brushed sides is paired with a curved, fluted crown that is not only elegant but also easy to handle. The slightly domed sapphire crystal perfectly matches the curves of the bezel, giving the watch a rounded, harmonious profile. Further demonstrating the fine craftsmanship of this timepiece, the lugs are made separately before being welded to the case to ensure a perfect aesthetic result. This L.U.C Quattro - Mark IV model features a brass dial with a frosted texture and a luminous sky-blue colour. Highlighted by white gold hour-markers and hands – including the small seconds and date hands – the dial design enhances the clarity and legibility of the indications in an exquisitely refined manner. Previously located at 12 o’clock, the traditional power-reserve indicator has been moved to the movement side and is now visible through the caseback. This subtle adjustment accentuates the sense of understated style, concealing mechanical complexity behind a harmonious appearance and intuitive layout. Additionally, an ingenious interchangeable strap system offers wearers variety of options.
