Chopard really rocked the boat with this amazing piece IMO. Design-wise in all aspects, I see this as a perfect dress watch.
At 38mm, this is an ideal size for an everyday dress watch to wear with a suit or even business casual. It's not available in steel but only in gold - white, red, and yellow.
The lines of the watch are beautiful and the dial stunning - clean, simple, and most of all - classic and timeless. Plus, it uses Chopard's new in-house movement 01.04-C, so guess this is a sign that more commonly produced Chopard watches not in the L.U.C collection may also begin to house this new in-house movement. Designed to be their new workhouse movement I guess.
Look at the beauty of the Chopard Classic Manufactum in the below video. You'll love the simplicity of this piece IMO.
Cheers,
