To commemorate the 70th anniversary of Sincere Fine Watches, Chopard has presented a unique offering: the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition. Restricted to merely 10 units, the clock encapsulates the spirit of the event and epitomizes the Chopard brand via its impeccable fusion of technical expertise and artistic elegance.

This timepiece captivates the real aficionado with its technological pedigree. At its center is the caliber L.U.C 98.06-L, a jumping-hour movement that amazes with its sophistication and distinguishes this model via its exceptional autonomy and power reserve. Initially unveiled to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Chopard manufacturing, this remarkable mechanism features an extensive power reserve of eight days—an extraordinary achievement given the substantial energy demands of jumping-hour clocks. This accomplishment is facilitated by the firm's proprietary Quattro technology, a configuration of four stacked and series-coupled barrels that provides the energy for the instantaneous rotation of the hour disc.

This special version, encased in a 40mm by 10.3mm structure made from Chopard's ethical 18k white gold, honors the brand's legacy with a rounded shape reminiscent of the traditional hunter-type pocket watches originally created by founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard. The L.U.C line's distinctive minimalist aesthetic, coupled with the technical expertise demonstrated in the jumping-hour complication, creates a harmonious balance between heritage and contemporary innovation.

Another standout is the exceptional burgundy Grand Feu enamel dial—a novel color in the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 series. Meticulously fashioned by Chopard's adept enamellist, the deep crimson hue epitomizes Sincere Fine Watches' profound dedication to the craft of horology. However, discerning this vibrantly hued dial is a challenging endeavor. Grand Feu enamel necessitates many firings at temperatures of 800°C to attain its optimal luster, then followed by meticulous polishing. This vibrant crimson is famously challenging to manipulate, as even the most minor flaw becomes instantly apparent when light reflects off its surface.

This watch embodies rarity and superior artistry. Each of the 10 pieces, presented on a black alligator leather strap, is inscribed with a distinct serial number and includes a certificate of authenticity. To enhance the significance of this important occasion, the rear of the case is inscribed with “One of 10,” while Sincere Fine Watches’ 70th-anniversary emblem is laser-etched on the sapphire crystal.



Enhancing this masterpiece is the esteemed Poinçon de Genève hallmark, a monument to Chopard's steadfast dedication to exquisite watchmaking. The exhibition caseback reveals the power reserve indicator and the haute horlogerie movement, embellished with delicate embellishments such as the Côtes de Genève pattern and meticulously beveled components.


The whole collection of 10 Chopard L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition watches is exclusively available at Sincere Fine Watches.


The watch is priced at SGD 76,800, inclusive of GST.
