Chopard

Dinner at the Cellar

 




Dinner venue was at Mr Karl-Friedrich Scheufele's wine cellar - the Le Caveau de Bacchus located at Cours de Rive.


Entering the wine shop ...



Vast selection neatly arranged ...



Recognised this?





On the way down to the cellar at the basement ...


Even have a section of single malts from Japan!



The logo of Le Caveau de Bacchus ...



Walking down the spiral staircase ...



A giant screw-shape beam ....





Navigated to our dinner venue ....


Inside the private room at the cellar.  Table set up at 6:50pm.

The view from the entrance of the room ...

Moving out from the room to explore the cellar ...

The evening began with generous amount of bubblies ...


This evening, we have two hosts from Chopard beside Mr Patrick Wehrli.
Cheers Mr Tasso!


Look at the interesting ambience ...


Don seemed like touching the ceiling smile






Lying neatly, all Magnum bottles of various good stuff ...


Our CEO, WFED and ex-Chopard Moderator, MTF snapping a double Magnum....


Oh! A hot-seller even in Singapore, an exceptional Franco-Chilean wine called Almaviva, created by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild,
Chairman of the Advisory Board of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, and Eduardo Guilisasti Tagle, Chairman of Viña Concha y Toro S.A


The protected bottles ...


A peek through the bars ....



























At 7:30pm we were invited to take our seats ...


Firstly a group pic ...


and a toast with the white.

Then come the  delicious food with paired wines ...



Engaging conversation in between ....





What was the tallest man in the group thinking? smile




A toast with the red ...







At about 10pm, the dinner ended ... and a token by Chopard was given to all of us.





Like the smile on your face smile

Thanks to the three gentlemen (did not capture one of them, oops) of the Le Caveau de Bacchus for the great service
and making the whole evening very enjoyable.







Thank you Chopard for the fantastic hospitality and making our 3-day-visit a very memorable one.

Kong

The factory layout and machines are very impressive, and I am very proud to owned a piece manufacture and quality tested from the factory. Todate, the piece with many bees at the back of the case is the most often watch on my wrist. Thanks Kong to keep me...

Thank you very much Kong for posting photographs of this wonderful tour with Chopard. It was a true honor to tour the Chopard factory and experience the world of Chopard. I recently visited the Chopard showrooms on Madison Avenue and I saw a very special ...

I didn't have any more photos to supplement the photos you took of the first day, but I do have one or two photographs I can add for the second day. Alas, I didn't bring my camera with me to Madison Avenue. But I will the next time I go to Madison Avenue....  

Reading your posts about the Chopard tour...

....is making me wish I could've been there in person. I'm very impressed by Chopard's operation, and was fascinated to read about the gold smelting process. Thanks so much for documenting the trip for those of us at home. Cheers, Daos

We were especially lucky!

 
By: patrick_y : December 14th, 2009-10:34
Not every watch manufacture has its own gold foundry. We were very special to see this and to actually hold the raw materials before it was melted and turned into 18K gold.

Thanks Kong!

 
By: fernando : December 10th, 2009-22:12
Again a fantastic post. For those of us who weren't able to experience it first hand, this is the next best thing.It makes us appreciate more the final product after seeing the laborious step by step process involved in manufacturing. I wonder if such a e... 

A very detailed report. Superb!

I have just customized my list of brands here to include Chopard, with the emphasis on L.U.C. But I will have to gather great courage before accessing their catalogues. You know how these things can go! amerix

Oh! Amerix ...

thank you for adding in Chopard. With next year 150th anniversary, I think there might be some nice pieces, and Chopard is in the process of renovating a building to build own standard calibres for the MM and other lines too. So, please check out the cata... 

Kong, Thanks for bringing back the good memory.

Hi Ling 2 months ago, you were boarding a plane to Geneva ....and met with the group and the Chopard People. I don't have the next one. Hopefully one of our friends would post the mountaineering trip. Since you are nice, award you a gold-bar Kong...  

I remember that gold-bar!
