Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2024: Chopard Celebrates Wins in ‘Jewellery’ and ‘Eco-Innovation’.
L.U.C Full Strike ‘Día de los Muertos’: A Tribute to Mexican Culture
Chopard honours Mexican culture with its latest L.U.C Full Strike timepiece, celebrating Día de los Muertos. Crafted in ethical 18-carat yellow gold, this unique watch features intricate hand-engraved detailing and a dial showcasing a calavera motif made from exquisite stone marquetry.
At its core is the L.U.C Calibre 08.01-L, a minute repeater renowned for its crystal-clear sound, achieved through sapphire gongs seamlessly integrated with the dial glass. Patented mechanisms ensure durability, precision, and smooth operation, while the Poinçon de Genève hallmark certifies its exceptional craftsmanship.
The Iconic Ice Cube Watch Returns: A Bold Classic Reimagined
Chopard proudly reintroduces the Ice Cube watch, a design icon from the late 1990s. Celebrated for its bold geometric aesthetic and innovative craftsmanship, the Ice Cube marked a defining moment in Chopard’s history, blending jewellery and timekeeping in a fresh, audacious way.
This new edition stays true to the original’s crystalline beauty, featuring a 25mm square case and dial entirely set with Asscher-cut diamonds. Enhanced with vivid blued hands and a sleek black alligator strap, the design reflects the same structured elegance that first captivated watch enthusiasts.
A key update aligns the watch with Chopard’s commitment to sustainability: it is crafted in 100% ethical 18-carat white gold, continuing Chopard’s Journey to Sustainable Luxury. Co-President Caroline Scheufele, who oversaw the re-edition, says: “The Ice Cube watch embodies Chopard’s bold attitude and timeless modernity. Its return celebrates the innovative spirit that has always defined our Maison.”

At first glance, it appears as a cascade of golden ice cubes, sleek and radiant. With a simple click, one cube opens to reveal a discreet watch dial, showcasing Chopard’s artistry and innovation. Featuring varied cube sizes for visual dynamism, the bracelet is meticulously crafted for fluidity, comfort, and brilliance.
As Caroline Scheufele, Co-President of Chopard, says: “Comfort is the ultimate luxury. I dreamed of an oversized cuff of golden ice cubes—bold yet supple. Our artisans brought this vision to life, blending striking design with hidden elegance.”
