It is verboten in my household
Luis6,
It was a decade before I understood skull motif.
I appreciate the significance but most are too scary 
A few are more acceptable like the Bell & Ross (military special forces adopted skull motif) and this Chopard.
The current Mrs MTF has banned any skull watch, so it's all moot...….

L.U.C Perpetual T Spirit of 'La Santa Muerte'
Chopard's artisans celebrate Santa Muerte (the patron saint of death) through a one-of-a-kind timepiece. Launched today at SIAR (Salon Internacional Alta Relojeria 16-18th October 2018) watch exhibition in Mexico is the piece unique L.U.C Perpetual T Spir...
Wow! Totally not my thing, but very impressive!
I'm not a big fan of the whole Muerte concept but wow! What a watch!
The true cost of luxury is the choice that it affords....
Cpt. Scarlet, Yes. I like this Day of the Dead L.U.C more that the Chinese Zodiac version. That's saying something when I'm Chinese.... 😉 Regards, MTF
Yes...limited to One Piece but.....
As Chopard has its own Manufacture, you can commission extra pieces to your specifications.... It won't be this exact reference number but your own. Regards, MTF
Being perhaps a bit more Mexican than many here,
I appreciate the thought behind the watch but see the Day of the Dead a bit differently, as a remembering of of loved ones, friends and neighbors no longer with us It's a time to recall those who have died during the past year - families and friends yes, ...
You’re spot on Mike!
Indeed Día de muertos celebrates that. A day to remember and share with your departed loved ones. This days (because there are several) many Mexican families take food, drink and music to the cemetery in order to share with the departed, robin memory of t...
How much Mexican are you?
I know it's a hop step and jump across the border for you to Mexico...… Regards, MTF
My great grandfather was governor of Tabasco
Before it was known as a hot sauce - it was a state in Mexico. My father’s mother was Mexican; my 3 other grandparents were German. So 1/4 Mexican - which is a lot more than Elizabeth Warren’s 1/1024 Cherokee! ...
Well, I never....
That's like when I discovered that Tequila was a state in Mexico before it became an alcoholic beverage! I see Dr Magana had relations with a patient...Minnie Roeder. At the penultimate lecture at my medical school, the Dean listed the 5 No-Nos for medica...
I love this thread and your photos! I do hope we can all avoid potentially contentious political references, though, because it invites trouble and discord.
One of the things I love about Purists (vs. certain other horological websites) is that politics are not welcome here, other than perhaps showing what watch a politician is wearing. Elizabeth Warren has nothing to do with this thread, nor should she. Norm...
To be totally honest, skull themed watches never appeal to me.
But I can also totally understand that it serves a purpose and appeals to a group of audiences.

Really impressive...
It has an interesting character to it and the craftsmanship is exceptional, but, as usual, I can’t imagine the intended client for this one-off watch.
At this Art level, it could be anyone
I guess the collector of this series of art pieces need not be Mexican nor Chinese although the last two watches celebrated those cultures. What if it was a little old lady from Hoboken who collects stuff? 🤔 Regards, MTF
