Chopard Chrono Movement Very Similar to F.Piguet F1150?
I've just been browsing the bay for Chopard watches to see what's what and was surprised to see a CHOPARD CERAMIC MONACO GRAND PRIX HISTORIQUE for sale.
Not unusual, but what struck me was that the movement wasn't the usual ETA/Valjoux affair. It has a display back and the movement looks to be of F.Piguet origin. At least, the automatic winding module looks exactly the same as the flyback movements I've seen in many Blancpains.
So does Chopard use F.Piguet ebauches in some of their chronos, or is this a genuine chopard manufacture movement that I haven't heard of?

Chopard Basel 2008 - L.U.C Chrono One Flyback (RG & WG)
L.U.C Chrono One Flyback The “Manufacture” chronograph takes off Eagerly awaited since the presentation of a pre-series in 2006, the L.U.C Chrono One Flyback is now making its grand entry into the Chopard Manufacture collections. Housing a movement entire...
wow this is nice
But it would have looked even better if they kept the date at 6 'clock like on the pre series watches. I also wonder what the reason was to not flip the 40 min writing when all other minute writing on the lower part of the dial is flipped.
Thank you KFS and Chopard
Mr Karl Fredrich Schuefele, Thank you so much for listening to the LUC fans. We loved "Project GT3" and the CF1 movement that ensued, but we pleaded for a classic chronograph dial and readability. You delivered! This is now the BEST Manufacture series-pro...
Gorgeous piece
I was able to try on the Chrono One recently, and must say that it is a beautiful watch. When trying it on, I have to reiterate many others sentiments in that the legibility seems to suffer with the transparent sub dials. This piece cures that problem, an...

* This info could make this piece even more attractive!
Just found out the List Price is appealing ....lower than the pre-production model (limited to 100 pcs) and with flyback, but not limited... the estimated price is about USD38,000 (depends on exchange rate). Kong
The movement is sensational
but I don't know if I can 'love' that busy-busy dial... (such as, do we really need minutes and hours written on the subdials? ) still I'll be watching this watch, and Chopard keeps coming up with amazing new pieces, movements. Maybe my taste is too conse...
Guess that you've held a ChronoOne...
Good to hear from you, Mostel. The actuation of the pusher is smooth yet affirming...indeed sensational. The first pre-production 100 pieces, some like a little uncovering of the movement while some has issue with legibility of the subdials ... Is it cont...
Thanks very much Kong!
It is really an amazing watch--I look forward to seeing it in the store.
