This mastery is met with mystery in the L.U.C Full Strike Día de los Muertos minute repeater: The hammers, visible at the 10 o’clock position on the dial side, have been blackened to match the theme of the Day of the Dead. As a result, the entire front of the watch acts as a speaker - a speaker that faces towards the wearer, and not their wrist - resulting in an incredibly rich and powerful sound. The crystal that protects the watch and the solid gold dial from the front extends all the way down, alongside the profile of the case, and has resonators incorporated into its shape. Chopard’s engineers and watchmakers conceived a movement whose hammers would not be striking traditional metal gongs, but rather a specially shaped, monoblock sapphire crystal. Recognized as one of the loudest and best-sounding minute repeater wristwatches ever conceived, the Chopard L.U.C Full Strike has revolutionized the harmony and volume of chiming watches.
