Chopard fete
Nov 02, 2007,09:32 AM
Thanks, Kong,
I visited the Chopard Manufacture in the spring with the TimeZone tour and was very very impressed!
Peter Wehrli and his assistant Susan were wonderful to us and everyone had a terrific time. Unfortunately they didn't allow any photos.
But I was so impressed by the quality of the workmanship and dedication that I now own 5 Chopards including the limited edition steel wings tourbillon in palladium made for the US market. It was the closest thing I saw to the quality one finds with the independents watchmakers.
Hopefully, I'll have some pics up soon.
I had my tongue a bit in my cheek about Mr. Scheufele. I have seen other photos of him and he has immaculate taste in clothes, very classy and elegant.
I wish I could look half as good!
BTW I was in Singapore in December 1969 for several weeks. That was in the days when there was a Bugis Street with the celebrations at Christmas time 
Much has changed, I know. I did buy my first decent watch there, an Omega Speedmaster Pro (long gone)
Regards,
Joseph

Hi Joseph Mr.Scheufele is a very neat person... I think he has a long trip. He didn't come directly to Singapore. I knew his previous stop was Japan. The Chrono not only looks good, till you have a chance to press it ! Let me know when you are coming over...

Perfect suits with TimeWerke magazine (photos)

I'm sorry but your comments must be due to the poor light at the dinner reception because in normal lighting, these are the Scheufeles immaculately turned out in sartorial elegance just before the reception. Signing the TimeWerke magazine with Chopard wat...

Yes, perhaps. These photos look much better! But please read my previous post. And I will repeat that I have seen other photos of M. Scheufele who I regard with great admiration. He is an intelligent thoughtful, creative and generous person who has done w...
RRP for LUC Chrono One

Just wondering what is the RRP (or approx. entry point price) for this outstanding watch, the LUC Chrono One. Cheers.
Thank you

Thanks for replying Kong. I don't think Chopard will be launching a stainless steel version one find day? How do you compare Chopard's LUC Chrono One with IWC's Da Vinci Chronograph? Both are in-house movements. Da Vinci's totaliser is interesting as it a...
