Great to tour the factory in remote yet very impressive !
Dec 09, 2009,01:01 AM
The factory layout and machines are very impressive, and I am very proud to owned a piece manufacture and quality tested from the factory. Todate, the piece with many bees at the back of the case is the most often watch on my wrist. Thanks Kong to keep me update on the activities in the plant. I hope to visit the factory in the near future.

Thank you very much Kong for posting photographs of this wonderful tour with Chopard. It was a true honor to tour the Chopard factory and experience the world of Chopard. I recently visited the Chopard showrooms on Madison Avenue and I saw a very special ...

I didn't have any more photos to supplement the photos you took of the first day, but I do have one or two photographs I can add for the second day. Alas, I didn't bring my camera with me to Madison Avenue. But I will the next time I go to Madison Avenue....
Reading your posts about the Chopard tour...

....is making me wish I could've been there in person. I'm very impressed by Chopard's operation, and was fascinated to read about the gold smelting process. Thanks so much for documenting the trip for those of us at home. Cheers, Daos
We were especially lucky!

Not every watch manufacture has its own gold foundry. We were very special to see this and to actually hold the raw materials before it was melted and turned into 18K gold.
Thanks Kong!

I have just customized my list of brands here to include Chopard, with the emphasis on L.U.C. But I will have to gather great courage before accessing their catalogues. You know how these things can go! amerix
Oh! Amerix ...

thank you for adding in Chopard. With next year 150th anniversary, I think there might be some nice pieces, and Chopard is in the process of renovating a building to build own standard calibres for the MM and other lines too. So, please check out the cata...

Hi Ling 2 months ago, you were boarding a plane to Geneva ....and met with the group and the Chopard People. I don't have the next one. Hopefully one of our friends would post the mountaineering trip. Since you are nice, award you a gold-bar Kong...
I remember that gold-bar!
