Hey Mel, is it fair to say Chopard is known more for women's collections?
I had an interesting experience a few nights ago. I wore my Chopard 8HF to a small party I attended with Tracie. Tracie was wearing one of her nice pieces and her girlfriends were talking about it. Tracie mentions how I am the "watch guy" etc. So when I showed everyone my watch, one of the guys said "Isn't that a woman's brand?"
I surmise that outside a community like ours, Chopard is known more for the jewelry and other products.

I guess it is certainly less well known
And the jewellery often seems dominant, even if it only entered the portfolio later. No harm for us, who see the watches for what they are
I agree with you.
That is why we are PuristS. I took no offense from the comment at the party, I just found the perception interesting.
That perception must be dealt with....
... so, Chopard Japan has been trying to "educate" male watch fans at "Academy" for L.U.C watches and spread the perception of "Men's Watch" in addition to "high jeweler".... Takes a while, from educating the sales staff to changing the men's perception.....
Interesting, so Chopard already knows about this perception.
Like you, I could care less what anyone else thinks. You know how much I adore my 8HF, that has never been a question. When I bought it, it was far from a "popular" piece. Nonetheless, maybe with all of the car racing events Chopard sponsors, they will at...
Nice pic. Love the composition :-)
... and the watch, too. Yes, there is only upside. Just need a bit of spice to attract male mechanical fans. Sponsoring Porsche seems to be working, at least for me. Other methods are eagerly awaited.....
I can confirm that
Since my first visit at the Boutique here the staff seem to have been extensively educated on the watch portion of the business, so there are no issues in that respect - at least not in Vienna I have always happily worn mine, irrespective of what people c...
