In this episode, I sit down with Karl-Fritz Scheufele, a third-generation member of the family behind Chopard, to explore some of the most interesting watches from the Chopard L.U.C collection.
Often described as underrated but not underloved, Chopard’s L.U.C line represents the brand’s highest level of Swiss watchmaking, combining in-house movements, refined finishing, and innovative complications.
In this conversation, we take a closer look at several standout pieces including:
• L.U.C Quattro Platinum — Chopard’s famous four-barrel movement architecture delivering exceptional power reserve and precision.
• L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Straw Marquetry — a rare jumping-hour complication paired with an extraordinary hand-crafted straw marquetry dial.
• Chopard x Zagato Collaboration — a unique partnership between the watchmaker and the legendary Italian automotive design house.
• Alpine Eagle — Chopard’s modern luxury sports watch inspired by the original St. Moritz design from the 1980s.
• L.U.C 1860 — one of the most iconic Chopard watches, featuring a beautifully finished micro-rotor movement that helped define the L.U.C manufacture.
Along the way we discuss the philosophy behind the L.U.C manufacture in Fleurier, what makes Chopard unique among Swiss luxury watch brands, and how a family-owned watch company continues to innovate after more than 160 years.
