Welcoming the Chinese New Year, Chopard devotes a new limited edition of its L.U.C XP Urushi to the ruling sign of the Chinese Zodiac – the rooster.

The Chinese New Year, which starts on January 28th, 2017, appears under the sign of the Yin metal rooster, which inspires the famous Swiss watchmaker to enliven it on an exceptional lacquered dial made using the Urushi technique. Eurasia is, actually, a Japanese technique, and each of these unique dials had been handcrafted in Japan by a master lacquer artist. In this way, Chopard unites Swiss, Chinese and Japanese traditions. Switzerland is represented by an ultra-thin, delicately finished mechanical movement. The tradition of Japan reflects itself in the field of lacquer, enriched with mother-of-pearl marquetry; while China reveals its culture through the rooster symbolism.
The image of the rooster, appearing on the dial, is made in accordance to an ancestral Japanese skill in which the sap of the “lacquer” or “Japanese varnish” tree is harvested, aged, and treated to become a lacquer. The extremely hard lacquer is applied in a number of very thin layers, and sprinkled with miniscule mother-of-pearl pigments, which enhance the iridescence and radiance of the miniature drawing.
The rooster, a divine messenger that and crows at the break of dawn to chase away demons, is depicted against a glowing sunset backdrop with its head held high and feathers puffed out. Just beside the rooster are eight gladioli flowers, symbolizing good luck. The magnificent illustration was created by skilled Urushi master Minori Koizumi, whose work was supervised by Master Kiichiro Masumura.
Chopard L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Rooster is crafted from 18-carat rose gold, and it measures 39.50 mm in diameter and 6.80 mm in thickness. The case accommodates Chopard’s in-house made mechanical, self-winding movement L.U.C 96.17-L, which beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and, thanks to the twin barrel technology, runs on about 65 hours of power reserve. The meticulously decorated 29-jewel movement features 22-carat beveled, engraved, and guilloché finished oscillating weight. Its bridges are adorned with Côtes de Genève, the main-plate is circular-grained mainplate, and most of the components beveled.
Chopard L.U.C XP Urushi, reference number 161902-5064, in 18-carat rose gold with a special “Year of the Rooster” dial is available in a limited edition of 88 pieces worldwide. The watch retails at about US $24.290. For availability, please contact Chopard.com.
