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 could or do think. It has another advantage, though - it is very much under the radar and attracts much less attention of the unwarranted kind - which can be quite beneficial in certain situations / geographies / business areas 
And people who know watches recognise it well enough anyway.
A Brief History of CHOPARD Time and Jewels part 9: Caroline Scheufele - Early Years
Scheufele family Since 1860, Chopard has always been family-owned; today, it is the Family Scheufele. Even as teenagers, the Scheufele siblings – Karl-Friedrich and Caroline were immersed in the family business and helped at trade shows in Basel and Genev...

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 :-)
