Launched in 1996, Chopard’s L.U.C. segment (named after Chopard's founder) was set up to commemorate Chopard's heritage as a high-precision movement manufacturer. Perhaps the ultimate expression of Chopard's watchmaking prowess, watches produced by L.U.C. include some of the most laboriously produced movements to come from Switzerland. The processes used to produce these movements include delicate hand finishing, accurate assembly, tedious testing, and careful casing. In 2004, Chopard and Parmigiani Fleurier even came together to create a certification to attest that 100% of a watch head was made in Switzerland, an attempt to combat the Swiss Government's lackluster definition of "Swiss Made” whereby only 60% of the value of a watch has to come from Switzerland. Ever since its inception, Chopard’s L.U.C. timepieces have become celebrated pieces of horology, and this limited edition ref. 161977-5009 of only 8 pieces that was launched in 2025 is no different with its beautiful green straw marquetry dial, stunning movement, and wonderfully classical 40mm x 10mm 18kt rose gold case. A dress watch in style, but far more than that, this timepiece boasts a jump hour complication along with only a single hand for the minutes that combine with its incredibly unique dial to create something truly special. On top of its incredibly good looks, it comes complete with a lengthy 8-day power reserve which derives from its four barrels that also inspire this timepiece's name 'Quattro".

Limited to only 8 pieces on account of the exceptional amount of craftsmanship required to create its dial, it is timepieces like this that showcase what Chopard's L.U.C. division is all about.
