I will come back to this watch later, but for the moment, I wanted to share with you a watch I consider as one of this year highlights, the LUC QUATTRO SPIRIT 25, in white gold.

40 mm case, 10, 30 mm high, the proportions are very good, in my opinion.

But wait... This is not all. While the 2021 edition came in rose gold with a white grand feu enamel dial, this one comes black grand feu enamel dial!

So this version adds power to elegance. A winner, in my opinion and heart. Add the Heures Sautantes ( jumping hours ) and we have an original beauty.

The other great asset of this watch is its movement, the Cal LUC 98.06L, which is a delicious 8 days movement, manual winding, nicely decorated, with 8 days indicator which has the good taste to be located on the back, and which " receives " the Geneva Seal.

Well, this is not a real novelty, of course but a nice and mandatory iteration for those who liked the previous version, but in white metal.

Well done, Chopard, you are tempting me once more, and it might well go into my collection!!!

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The black grand feu enamel dial of the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 is particularly challenging to produce compared to white enamel, showcasing Chopard's technical prowess and contributing to the watch's refined aesthetic.
The new L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25, along with other recent Chopard L.U.C releases like the deep green sector piece and the monotone QF, indicates a strong period of innovation and design for the brand.
Despite Chopard's recent horological achievements, the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25's price point is a consideration for some collectors, especially given the brand's historical secondary market value compared to alternatives like an Eichi.
The watch's design, particularly the jumping hour complication and the overall aesthetic, evokes an Art Deco quality that resonates with certain collectors.
A key question raised by the community concerns the depth of the hour window, as some reviews of previous versions noted it wasn't ideal.
The combination of a jumping hour complication with an 8-day manual winding movement is a highly desirable feature for many enthusiasts.

Very powerful dial

It puts the brand in focus... but I am not too convinced about the L.U.Chopard... Would love to try that one on

I can tell you that there are not too many Chopard I like, but this one is one of the few I would love to own!

This looks a lot better than the white dial version

because the black dial makes the watch look smaller. In addition, it is more difficult to produce a black enamel than a white enamel dial. Bravo to Chopard because I feel its novelties were arguably the best among the bigger brands.

I have to agree. The rose gold was superb, this one is sublime. Adn yes, so far my favorite among all the novelties!
