Rare in Brazil
You are quite correct.
Despite the growth of the Brazilian economy (BRIC economy), there are only a few Chopard retailers in Brazil.
Most are in São Paolo but you need to be leaving the country to benefit as one is in the airport:
IOSC Zona Franca Sucursal Uruguay, Aeroporto Internacional de São Paulo.
Frattina Jewellers have two shops in São Paolo
Sara Jóias Jewellers have 3 shops in Rio De Janeiro

Those A.D. can't compare, in terms of offerings, with the Boutiques from other brands, like JLC, Panerai, IWC, Omega, Rolex, Vacheron, Cartier, Bulgari, Piaget etc. I never saw one L.U.C. around. Only entry level models, ETA based. Without a strong presen...
More precision.
Fantastic post, MTF. I would add this: walking through Chopard's facilities is a journey through beauty and precision, executed in ways old and new. Here, for example. the old: precision grinding of microns of material by hand, to clean up what computer-a...
Do I show the pictures of Someone trying to polish movements?
hmmm.....if I post the photos and the date of production, will that enhance or hinder sales? Hint: the trainee that day was Someone from California. ...
EsZeHa
Nico, The Chopard Geneva Museum is in the Headquarters and Manufacture. Although there is no charge for entry, a little notice given may get you the curator for the tour. We will come back to the history of Eszeha watches in a future report but for now, d...
