Chopard

Having long admired Japanese woodblock printing, I was very pleased to see the release of the LU Chopard XP Urushi Ukiyo-e. The XP case remains compelling to me, quite thin with subtle vertical brushing on the sides. The movement is the L.U.C calibre 96.4...  

Good catch 👍 didn’t know about that technique with tree sap!

I like the fact they printed the name on the sapphire rather than on the dial. As someone who spent a lot of time on boats I feel sorry for the fellow at the bow on what looks like rough sea!

Got more pics of it?

Chopard has done many great urushi dial pieces over the years. I'm waiting to be able to see these in person. The NIHONTŌ seems impressive too. The only photos I could find so far were from David Roditi, from the London Boutique. credit: @david_roditi ...  

I hope you get to see these sometime soon!

Hi David when was this watch made ? Is there a press release somewhere ? Interested in this since I am now at Mt Fuji. Best Gatsby

I saw it on Chopard social media initially. Here is one link: www.timekeepers.club e Enjoy Mount Fuji!
