Some more Chopard from the 1990s - this time pre-LUC perpetual calendars

During the last couple of months I have been looking at watches from the 1990s in an on and off fashion, discovering what the decade of the real return of the mechanical watch has to offer. And while this endeavour is simple in terms of online search for some brands like Girard Perregaux, it has been exceedingly difficult in terms of Chopard. And as have started with the hobby in earnest some two years ago I do not have a raft of back catalogues to help me, so...

Still I found some very interesting perpetual calendars in the past weeks that I wanted to share. Having first discovered the 36/1208 (posted about it here: ,

Next come similarly rare ref. 36/91224 and the 36/92249.
From: Live Auctioneers

Like the 36/1208 the 36/91224 is a combination of a perpetual calendar and a chronograph, powered by a version of the JLC 889 movement and produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces. This is packaged in a relatively modern sized 41 x 13mm platinum case. While the thickness might just allow you to slip it under your shirt cuff, the weight of 143g will certainly not make you forget you're wearing it

The 36/92249 is also in platinum but without the chrono complication.


From: Chrono24

Produced in a limited edition of 100 pieces and also powered by a JLC movement, this time a Cal. 888. The case is more classically sized at 36 x 9mm. There is a round shaped version of it, too, but I have not been able to find the reference number so far, just a picture (below).


From: Robert Maron

According to the seller also limited to 100 pieces and with a 36 x 9,4mm case.

If anyone knows more, I'd love to find out more about them

Thanks for viewing!
