New: Chopard LUC XP Urushi Year of the Dragon
Chopard replica luxury watches launches a limited edition of 88 18K rose gold watches to celebrate the upcoming Year of the Dragon. Introducing LUC XP Urushi Year of the Dragon Paint.
It has become a Chopard tradition to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a new lacquered zodiac-themed watch equipped with a LUC movement. This year marks the tenth year that Chopard has launched lacquer watches to zodiac watchers, and we recently reported on the following:
2015 Year of the Monkey
Comprehensive review of the Year of the Rat in 2020
Comprehensive review of the Year of the Ox in 2021
Comprehensive review of 2022 Year of the Tiger
2023 Year of the Rabbit
2024 is the Year of the Dragon, the most auspicious zodiac sign in China, and Chopard once again invited lacquer masters to create a maki-e dragon. As in previous editions, all 88 dials are crafted by master artist Minori Koizumi in the workshops of the century-old company Yamada Heiando.
The dragon looks particularly lively, and in traditional Chinese fashion the dragon clutches a blue pearl on a black background decorated with sparkling objects representing stars. The entire watch is made from ethical gold. The movement is Chopard’s gorgeous LUC 96.17-L. Replica Richard Mille Rafael Nadal
In the watch world, the fusion of gold and lacquer is rare, and even less often mastered. LUC XP Urushi Year of the Dragon is a handcrafted expression of luck and prosperity that marks the Chinese zodiac cycle. The dragon is the earliest creature to appear in Chinese myths and legends, representing imperial power, wealth, fertility and good luck. The new Year of the Dragon begins on February 10, 2024.
According to tradition, the legendary Yellow Emperor (r. 2700-2600 BC), the first emperor of China, incorporated various creatures into his heraldry as he conquered neighboring tribes, eventually creating what would become the forerunner image. The Chinese dragon we know today.
Deeply inspired by these traditions, the Chopard LUC XP Urushi Year of the Dragon watch has a 39.5 mm ethical 18-karat rose gold case, while the in-house LUC 96.17-L movement with micro-rotor ensures that a slim profile of just 6.80 mm can be maintained. It combines the superb technology and artistic talent of Chopard Watchmaking Factory. Its dial is a work of art, artfully decorated with lacquer, gold dust and mother-of-pearl inlays. For the 12th consecutive year, the dial in the Chopard Urushi Story is handcrafted in Japan by world-renowned craftsmen specializing in the maki-e technique.
symbolic and artistic narrative
The Chinese Five Elements theory assigns five elements to each year - metal, water, wood, fire and earth - in addition to the twelve zodiac signs. 2024 is the year of the Wood Dragon. If the Dragon is usually the powerful, energetic, dynamic and self-aware of the zodiac signs, the Wood Dragon is considered a protector of the environment and a symbol of harmony with nature. This strong personality perfectly echoes Chopard’s respect for the earth and its wealth. The Maison hired Japanese lacquer masters to create a moody, elegant black dial on which the dragon comes to life. Soaring above the clouds, it exudes a stunning blend of power and elegance in bold red and yellow colours. high quality watches replica
