Animal protection is the inspiration for a new Haute Horlogerie creation. With the L.U.C XP BirdLife, a one-of-a-kind timepiece with an ultra-thin case measuring 35 millimetres in diameter and crafted in ethical 18-carat white gold, Chopard is highlighting one of the finest artistic crafts exercised in its workshops. Using the Grand Feu enamelling technique, its enameller has painted a dial featuring a delicate Pallas's Rosefinch as a tribute to the organisation BirdLife International. The L.U.C 96.17-L in-house movement, visible through a transparent caseback, bears witness to the Manufacture's watchmaking expertise. To mark BirdLife’s 100th anniversary, this ethically produced and aesthetically pleasing creation was revealed on April 18th 2023 by Chopard Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, in the presence of the Honorary President of BirdLife International, Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado of Japan, at a cocktail party at the Swiss Ambassador’s residence hosted by David Braun, Swiss Charge d'Affaires ad interim. Proceeds from the sale of this one-off timepiece will be donated to the BirdLife International Japan Fund for Science established to commemorate Princess Takamado’s 15th anniversary as the Honorary President of BirdLife International.
