Chronometer (aka yacomino)

Finally back on the wrist after spending over 5 months at the spa!
What I originally thought would be a very quick couple week turnaround at the service centre ended up being much longer. While the watch was running fine. I was no longer able to wind the watch using the crown only the movement of the wrisk or a watch Winder. I think the service centre struggled to find the issue for quite a long time and in the end, they decided to swap the whole movement for a brand new one which probably explain the longer timeline. In any case I’m really glad it now sits on my wrist back again! 😎

Nice to see it returned in top form 👌🏻👍🏻
Chopard used to have a two week service guarantee some time back - I guess your case is justifiably a bit different 😊👍🏻
Sounds good 😊👍🏻
I guess if they didn’t know what caused it and couldn’t ensure a solution it’s a more customer friendly approach 👌🏻
How unfortunate that it took so long to figure out
that the movement had to be replaced. But it’s nice to see it back on your wrist. Cheers, Emmanuel
Good for you to have the watch back!
But,quite honestly,I find 5 months of waiting time to be totally unacceptable 😠
Should I be worried?
I also hear the winding sound a tad louder than my other AEs....but it is still keeping good time. However, this was at least 5 months news. Glad that they resolved the issue.
I think there should be a legal time limit (I think 3 months maximum)
before the company is obligated to put in a brand new movement or a completely new watch. Too much time is spent on specs like METAS (nice as it is to have the rating) and not nearly enough time on durability and timely servicing.
Did it go to Switzerland or Miami, Florida?
Glad you have your pet Eagle back! My bird is having some winding issues (from the automatic rotor, it doesn't wind well on my wrist) and some big accuracy issues (runs around 20 seconds fast a day sometimes).
I was told they did all of the servicing locally in Toronto, but they had a new movement flown in from Switzerland.
I hope you’re able to resolve your bird accuracy issues!
Oh. I wasn't aware they had a way to do that in Toronto.
Since there isn't a formal service center in Toronto for Chopard. Good to know!
That really is a stunning looking Chopard Alpine Eagle.
The colour and finishing of the dial is just stunning it almost seems alive, glad to hear you have it back and with a new movement it's virtually a new watch. Wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc
Great to see it back in action 👍
Are you they didn’t replace the dilithium crystals powering the dial 🖖 Best regards Captain
What a banger of a dial!
Sorry it took so long but glad you have it in perfect condition. Thank you for sharing the fun with us too.
Good to see it back on your wrist!
The last time I encountered the same issue on a vintage, turned out that a gear was worn out. But it took 3 visits to the service center as no one noticed until the 3rd round.
