Chopard

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...  

I'm not a big fan of the whole Muerte concept but wow! What a watch!

and some fabulous craftsmanship. Love the engraving.

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

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

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, ...  

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... 

I know it's a hop step and jump across the border for you to Mexico...… Regards, MTF

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! ...  

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... 

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... 

But I can also totally understand that it serves a purpose and appeals to a group of audiences.

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 ...

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.

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
