CHOPARD

L.U.C XP Esprit de Fleurier Peony

In the third iteration of Chopard’s L.U.C XP Esprit de Fleurier Peony, the fragile bloom is depicted through the art of paper-cutting. Referred to in Switzerland as scherenschnitt, paper-cutting is also part of traditional Eastern culture and practised by the Chinese ( jianzhi), Indian ( sanjhi) and Japanese ( kirie). Presented on a Grand Feu enamelled white dial, the stylised peony motif is painstakingly crafted with black paper to achieve a striking contrast. The intricate dial art echoes the delicate Fleurisanne engraving at the back, where peonies have been carved in relief on the 18k rose gold movement bridges of the L.U.C 96.23-L calibre.
