Kong presents a captivating photo essay on two unique Chopard minute repeater pieces, the Two O Ten Marquetry Horse and the Mother-of-pearl Eagle. This post highlights the exquisite artistry and technical complexity of these highly exclusive timepieces. Readers gain an appreciation for the intricate dial work and the sophisticated minute repeater complication.

After Salman's post about Chopard at the Concourse d'Elegance, I saw a familiar piece being displayed. 

It is the Two O Ten Marquetry Horse Minute Repeater with 28 baguette diamonds.

The 48-hour power reserve manual movement was not from Chopard, but not surprise that one could be on their drawing boards smile

After this Marquetry Horse Unique-piece, is the majestic round Mother-of-pearl Eagle Minute-repeater .

Enjoy!

Round MoP Eagle Minute Repeater

The iridescence from  the MoP is intriguing.  See the Eagle at various viewing angles and lighting angles.

Simply stunning !

The eagle one is very nice and unassuming. The brand isn't even on the dial or the sapphire crystal. When I first saw one in the boutique, I was quite intrigued by it. Cos I tried to research about the LUC calibres but couldn't find one for the minute repeater. And I failed to find any info about it. So thanks very much for sharing. Do hope that LUC comes out with their own movement for the minute repeater too. SC

Hi SC I've to agree on the brand/logo placement. For really superb work, thoughts should be placed to have the logo not disturb the 'scenery'. I hope the Urushi series, if there is any new design, the logo, should be blend nicely into the work of art. As for the movement, if I remembered correctly, should be the work of Claret. Striking watch, for L.U.C, StrikeOne is the first with a simple chime, and I believe they have experimented with type of metal used for sound transfer. Thanks for viewing
