I may be biased since I started here with an innocent question about the Chopard LUC Chrono One and got into the hobby that way.
In addition to what Mike and MTF wrote I very much like their attitude - i.e. as a family owned firm they often go for the ‘right’ choice, even if it is not the profitable one in the short term. Examples are a fantastic, very quick service (between 2 weeks and a month at most), the use of ethical gold, the development of a large range of in-house movements...

Thoughts on Chopard non LUC

The Mille Miglia 2014 Race Edition may still be found, the two LUC pieces are long out of production, though... But there’s a great current collection that’s worthwhile checking irrespective
Both sides of the Chopard company before merger were watchmakers
By: MTF : August 7th, 2018-12:08
