Proclaimed a “Living National Treasure” by the Japanese authorities, artist Kiichiro Masumura has created the unique dial of the L.U.C XP Urushi, based on the time-honoured lacquering techniques of Urushi and Maki-e.
Marrying ancestral craftsmanship with Swiss watchmaking, this work of art portrays the Chinese astrological sign of the Yin metal rooster in a motif drawn from Chinese iconography which is believed to be a divine messenger, heralding the dawn and crowing to chase away demons. Magnificently showcased within the understated lines of the ultra-thin L.U.C XP in 18-carat rose gold, this exceptional and limited series timepiece is equipped with the mechanical self-winding L.U.C Calibre 96.17-L.
