Lot Essay
The unique and spectacular dial of this watch was designed by the Japanese artist Kiichiro Masumura. The style is derived from the lacquering techniques of Urushi and Maki-e. The blend of the traditional bamboo design and technique, coupled with the impressive watchmaking of Chopard coalesce into a wearable work of art.
