DescriptionThe Chopard L.U.C Full Strike 'Día de los Muertos', reference number 161947-0001, is a horological creation that pays homage to Mexican culture's All Souls' Day. Constructed with a case of 18-karat ethical yellow gold, it measures 42.5 mm in diameter and has a thickness of 11.55 mm. The exhibition case back, fashioned from sapphire crystal, reveals the intricacies of the movement within. The crown, also made of 18-karat yellow gold, complements the case. Adorning the 18-karat yellow gold dial is a meticulously hand-crafted Calavera motif, achieved through fine stone marquetry. The timepiece's dial indicates the hours, minutes, small seconds, and includes a power-reserve indicator. The watch is secured to the wrist with either a gray or burgundy alligator leather strap with hand-sewn, tone-on-tone stitching. The clasp is a folding type, executed in 18-karat yellow gold. This model is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece and proudly bears the prestigious Poinçon de Genève quality hallmark, certifying its exceptional craftsmanship and origin.

At the heart of this timepiece is the L.U.C Caliber 08.01-L, a hand-wound mechanical movement. This caliber boasts 533 individual components and 63 jewels. It has a frequency of 4 Hz, translating to 28,800 vibrations per hour, and offers an approximate 60-hour power reserve when fully wound. The movement, with a diameter of 37.20 mm and a thickness of 7.97 mm, includes the remarkable minute repeater complication. Since 2016, Chopard Manufacture has demonstrated expertise in the minute repeater mechanism, highlighted by the pure and clear sound of its sapphire gongs. This unique acoustic quality was recognized in 2017 when the L.U.C Full Strike won the "Aiguille d'Or" at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève. This exceptional caliber, coupled with the unique design of the timepiece, truly exemplifies the merger of complicated movement manufacturing and meticulous design work.
