I grudgingly concur

wmclartenf1,

Good choice!

As ex-moderator for Chopard and current moderator for Piaget, I am torn between their respective regulators.  Thy are both in-house designed and executed manufacture movements.  The Chopard LUC movement is a little thicker than the Piaget but still acceptable as it wins on power reserve with those quattro barrels   (good Audi link there!).

They have completely different styling viz round vs cushion case.

Blue dial, 18-carat pink gold applied hour- and minute-markers, retrograde seconds at 12 o’clock, hour subdial at 6 o’clock, central minute hand

I don't have a pictute of the white gold case and grey dial Piaget Emperador coussin regulator that I prefer, but here is one of the large moon phase model of the right colour scheme.
