CHOPARD L.U.C ESPRIT DE FLEURIER PEONY

Presided over by siblings Karl-friedrich and Caroline Scheufele, whose parents acquired the company in the 1960s, the independent Genevan watch and jewellery house of Chopard has built an enviable reputation for its métiers d’art timepieces, of which this L.U.C Esprit de Fleurier Peony is a fine example.

In a limited numbered edition of eight pieces, the 35mm “ethical” rose-gold watch features a grand feu-enamelled representation of a peony – Caroline’s favourite flower – on its dial, as well as a two-tone rose-gold L.U.C 96.23-L double-barrel automatic calibre, with 22k gold micro-rotor and floralengraved bridges. It’s presented on a green alligator leather strap, which perfectly complements the hand-painted foliage on the dial.
