The L.U.C Quattro Spirit Ensō
Here's the only “live” photo I have been able to find of the Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit Ensō, ref. 161977-1006, a watch limited to 8 pieces that I've been wanting to see since its release in October 2025.
According to Chopard, its Grand Feu enamel dial “pays tribute to the [Japanese] ensō, the emblematic circle drawn in a single stroke as an act of meditation and mindfulness.
This illustrates the beauty of the moment and the acceptance of imperfection through the balance between emptiness and fullness.
At times fine and regular and at others broad and irregular, each ensō reflects the state of mind of the calligrapher at the moment of its creation and celebrates the diversity of meanings that this circle can convey: calm, energy, movement or emptiness.”
I think it's very beautiful and I imagine it's even more beautiful in real life.
What do you think?
Best, Emmanuel

I like it a great deal! Thank you very much for the excellent picture, cheers, Filip
Yes, the “wayfairing” line would say anthropologist Tim Ingold!
In person the dial must be wonderful. Best, Emmanuel
I saw it in person. It's very nice.
All of the Chopard pieces that are related to Japanese culture have been well executed. If I were to be super critical, I would say that the Urushi and Maki-E pieces shouldn't use the standard 96 series movement - I would prefer it to use the 96 series mo...
I agree that these watches would be better with the Geneva Seal 96.
But here the Quattro movement is Geneva Seal (and hand wound). Best, Emmanuel
I love the regular variant too.
But this art piece seems to be very beautiful. Best, Emmanuel
It was just an English 'No' : )
...what is the Japanese 'No'? Mine is a bit rusty these days...
I obviously got it completely wrong! 🫣😱
In French, the major form of classical Japanese dance-drama is called "No" (能). But you call it "Noh" in English... My bad! So this ensō watch is a no-go for you, I'll keep that in mind. I like the way the ensō is featured on the dial, personally... 🤷🏽♂️...
