Chopard

Any Owner of the 1860/1 with a half-hunter case and Cal. 1.96?

 

Hi Robert

Thank you for the new purchase. 

I've not seen but read about this gorgeous piece.  This range or configuration has 100 pieces.

I will leave the rest of your questions to our friends who own this piece.

I'm surprised to hear that your watch hacks. 

For adjusting the minute-hand, you might want to try to adjust by exceeding the particular 'minute' by 5 to 10 minutes.  Slowly return the minute-hand back to the 'minute' you intend to set. Hold the watch firmly and depress the crown back.

I've asked before, to fully wound, will have to do at least 90 turns on the crown.  Well, need not be afraid of overwinding as it has overwinding protection mechanism designed in.

About movement update, not that I know of.  Just do NOT swim or bathe with the watch on.  While washing hand, if the water splashes, it should be ok, just dry it with a piece of cloth fast.

Sorry no picture to post yet, I just acquired an 1860/1 watch in yellow gold, white face. It appears to be limited to 100 units. It has 43 bees in the hinged caseback. It is a gorgeous watch. I have researched the threads on this site for the 1860, but is...

Greetings, The watch you purchased is an earlier version of the classic 16/1860/2 or more commonly known as the LUC caliber 1.96. There is no mechanical difference between the hinged back version of 100 or the less limited general series 1.96. Much has be...

Sorry, I hit the wrong button before loading the pictures. There was a yellow gold 1.96 with hinged back for sale for a long time on that famous auction site. Regards, MSB This message has been edited by Kong on 2007-09-23 03:09:01 This message has been e...  

1860/1

I noticed from the picture you posted some differences between that watch and mine. When the gold case back is opened to show the see through caseback, on the perimeter of the gold case that encircles the see thru crystal, at top, the pictured watch seems... 

1860

Sorry, my digital camera cannot take a clear picture and I do not have the necessary lens setup. But the question is simple. Did Chopard make the half hunter back 1860 in two forms, one marked on the case back with "1860" and one marked "16/1860/1"? I ask... 

Sorry for the late reply...
