Description

Proclaimed a “Living National Treasure” by the Japanese authorities, artist Kiichiro Masumura has created this unique dial for Chopard based on the time-honored lacquering techniques of Urushi and Maki-e. Marrying ancestral craftsmanship with the highest degree of Swiss watchmaking, this majestic work of art portrays Bamboo, an unyielding plant symbolising generosity and humility according to Chinese tradition. Magnificently showcased within the understated lines of the ultra-thin L.U.C XP in 18k rose gold, this exceptional timepiece is equipped with the mechanical self-winding L.U.C Caliber 96.17-L.
