The new Ladies Diamond collection – Quattro Tourbillon
* This piece will be showcased at the Cortina Jewellery Time 2008 , starting from 30 Oct to 9 Nov 2008.
An exceptional combination of luxury and technical triumph
Chopard, the renowned Swiss watchmaker and jeweller has created a brilliant masterpiece by combining its expertise in the outstanding craftsmanship of fine jewellery and passion for the world of watchmaking.
The new Ladies Diamond Quattro Tourbillon watch captures the luxury and glamour associated with Chopard, using a combination of baguette and round cut diamonds to fully encrust the dial and case, as well as the crown and buckle.
Created both in white and rose gold, the matching white and pink crocodile leather straps perfectly complement the aesthetic of the dial respectively. Inspired by the original Quattro Tourbillon, the new design detail on the dial and the use of diamonds gave the understated and elegant watch, a new spin.
At the same time, the movement of this watch is a masterwork by itself, not to be outshone by the luminosity that houses it. The in-house movement - L.U.C 4T, created by Chopard Manufacture is a rare beauty equipped with four barrels – the Quattro technology patented by Chopard and a power-reserve of 216 hours.
This creation with its powerful engine under all the dazzling finery, likened to a beauty with substance, is available at a limited edition of 25 pieces each, in white or rose gold.
