Chopard

Chopard introduces their new sports watch collection which resembles the St. Moritz collection from the 80s. Case material: Lucent Steel A223 (recycled steel, hypoallergenic), 18K rose gold, two-tone Case diameter: 41 mm, 36 mm Dials: blue, grey, white Mo...  

A german member spotted a window display case in Zurich and then proceeded to do some research and found the article.

I do like the watch , especially the 36mm with a grey dial looks amazing on a ladies wrist 👌🏻

The rest, I'll need to see in person. I didn't expect a bracelet so outwardly similar to the first generation Vacheron Overseas. This watch is less likely to be compared to the 1980s St. Moritz than one or two haut-de-gamme steel models (one in particular... 

For some reasons, Vacheron stopped making that. I’m pretty excited that Chopard is making a beautiful bracelet somewhat reminiscent to design of Dino Mondolo ...  

Having set the stage, I have to say I’m liking the new version. It’s obviously going to get a certain amount of flak about the various styling cues it has “copied”. Can’t help but think even at the price point, the movement bridges are looking a bit too p... 

Looks like the 15202 and the 5711, had a baby....

So awful

Same copycat watches all over again, blue dial still case . Cliche ! . I get that a “sports “ watch has to meet certain criteria but come on .... Okay , I’m just thinking loud.

Only few that are critical towards it. Some brands get flagged for it while others get extremely praised. Blancpain *cough cough“

Does Blancpain have a steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet, in which case I must have missed something ? ...or does your comment relate to something else?

Interestingly it is Cartier, the brand that is probably least discussed here, that appears to me to have made the most efforts to come up with original design ideas over the past 10-12 years, in keeping with its more than 100-year history of pushing the b... 

Wasn’t that what made them famous ? Break the rules ! Be different! Have courage !

I like the design. I can see the resemblance to the St Moritz. The only eyesore is the date window. I don't understand the angle.

The same too for the lumed appliqués on the dial.

It's strange. I love Blancpain and while I don't like their date windows either, I can live with it. Here it seemed more severe at first but I'm getting used to it. I know they're dressier but I would love to have seen one of their micro-rotor movements i... 

Here’s a few pictures of the 41mm grey dial I took yesterday in my local boutique ...  

...  

They use same system for screws like the ROO as I see the screws are aligned?

Looks nice Source: Chopard ...  

What’s there not to like?

I like many of the details, and know the old ones, but don't care for the Romans (numerals, that is).
