Innovations that are true to traditions

“I knew we had created a truly unique model but I did not anticipate such a great honour,” Karl-Friedrich said in his speech. “The L.U.C. Full Strike revisited one of the major horological complications, incorporating a significant innovation whilst respecting the traditions of movement.

Upon acceptance of the Jewellery Watch Prize, Karl’s sister Caroline expressed her gratitude to Chopard’s design and creative teams for adhering to tradition throughout their constant innovation.

A tribute to the oriental flower, the Lotus Blanc watch is a culmination of watchmaking expertise and creativity, topped with a total of 25.66 carats white diamonds put together by high jewellery craftsmen. Both creations are made of ethical gold, certified Fairmined.
