Chopard

If someone wanted to buy the most iconic / representative watch design from Chopard, what would you recommend? Something from the racing range? Or a model from the Quattro line? ...  

J.Sim1984, Chopard produces a wide range of watches that appeal to different demographic groups. Its a problem of too much choce. I should let our Chopard PuristS community answer because its a massed opinion. But I'm also part of that community so I'll g... 

I understand that most brands have multiple ranges, yet JLC has the Reverso (and the Duometre), AP has that octagonal talisman, Lange has the Datograph and so on... So basically I'm curious what *it* would be for Chopard=) P.S. My SWMBO thinks that the Qu... 

Nouvelle association avec CHOPARD ...  

For me personally, I will get one of their LUC XP or XPS dress watches. May not be the most iconic but definitely one of the best finished dress watches with a beautiful micro rotor movement This LUC XPS in white gold black dial is like the perfect watch ...  

and the Arabic numerals are very Chopard I know there are Chopard watches with Romans and plain markers, but I associate Chopard with these Arabic numerals with serifs ... ...  

I love how each brand has unique design DNA, and will definitely be looking at chopard's arabic numerals with fresh appreciation=)

With dress watches, there's so little to play with that poor execution is tough to hide. Not with the XPS, I appreciate how chopard minimises the number of words, and doesn't use lume for this range. J

J.Sim1984, I have consulted the current Mrs MTF and also past interviews with Mr Karl-Friedrich Scheufele for their opinion about Chopard Iconic Watches. Here is a summary. Firstly, Chopard currently have Four Iconic Collections: L.U.C, Mille Miglia/Class...

Vlad, Of course, there are many more watches and wonders from Chopard like The Tribute. I left out dedications to Mama & Papa Scheufele, HRH The Prince of Wales, Elton John, Jose Carreras, Jacky Ickx, Mark Webber, Zagato, PuristS etc. I also omitted their... 

Thanks for the masterful summary! Gonna bookmark this for future reference=) The Fairmined is indeed mesmerising. I was staring at the dial like a fool in the boutique. The LUC QF is also stunning but I wish chopard could drop the luminous bits. As for th... 

The LUC Tech Twist range. I guess not many are currently being made / sold but there were some pretty stunning models in that. The 1963 Chronometer is also brilliant, as are the 8HF watches. So lots to choose from

What would they be? THAT is the quandary that plagued me. MTF

Even if I chose something else for myself from the LUC range, namely this: I cannot say it is the most iconic piece (I did want a chronograph at the time, though, more than a dress watch). The 2014 MM for me has the classic MM case and shape and adds a gr...  

Ah...Jacky Ickx's current favourite Mille Miglia too. Chopard Mille Miglia 2014 Race Edition At Le Mans 2015 ...  

What would you choose for the two ranges, Melvyn?

When the Mille Miglia are equipped with Chopard chronograph movements like the ones in Superfast range, then I may add one to my personal collection. That will be scheduled for.......oops...can't say Regards, MTF

The Lunar One is really special - agreed

watchthatman Which Mille Miglia watch is the PuristS model? We haven't done one yet. MTF

I have no financial interest but helped design it. So I can find any remaining pieces. As there are only 50 pieces spread across the world, not every Chopard boutique will have one. Use personal e-mail: MTF @ PuristSPro (dot) com [remove the spaces and ad... 

We see lots of modern here and I have some history in mind. So which ONE is the ONE: LUC Pro ONE LUC Chrono ONE LUC Lunar ONE LUC (actually 1.96) ? But besides all these hidden beauties, I simply think that the classic Mille Miglia is no ONE of Chopard\'...
