Thank you Nicolas.....
for another great report.......
The Tech twist has some Amvox 2 DBS dna...... don't you think???
Do you know the retail price?
The black case back of the tourbi is mesmerising....
As far as the qualities of the photos, it must have been the lights as I did not see any wine in the glasses...
(hopefully there was some later...lol)
Cheers
LUC Chopard PPRO Dinner in Paris.
This dinner will definitely belong to the category of unforgettable events: A nice Place The Place Vendome, where the Chopard Paris Boutique is located, then the famous Restaurant " Le Costes ". Great watches: The WHOLE LUC Collection! Friendly people: Mo...
Yes ! It was a wonderful event !
Thanks a lot to the whole Chopard team for this great event ! The presentation by Patrick was very captivating and educational. He made us understand the specificities of the Chopard manufacture, all the details that make it so special. The dinner took pl...
This is a terrific week, FX, indeed.
When our personal jobs take us a lot of time, then when we have to add these events. But this one was a fantastic opportunity to learn, discover watches I don't often see, and to meet old and new friends. So, no regrets, only pleasure. Go to bed! Best, Ni...
What a nice & charming report
but wait Graham told me that you'll meet him and Bim next year so you are cheating :0)) and when I read the "This Guy looks like a Saint, don't you think?" I nearly fell off my chair great friendly report what a joy to be among such good friends neverthel...
We missed, you, my friend.
Next time, you'l have to come. You loved the Saint, eeeh? I fear the worst from him... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-11-25 14:21:43
Bim revenge ...
Damian, i posted some nice pics of Nicolas .... and ... me and Graham probably meet Nicolas next month already ... stay tuned ... or ... come over ??? Cheers, Filip
A great event !
A great event indeed organized by the friendly Chopard team. I really enjoyed the explanation monsieur Patrick Wehrli brought us, it gave me a far greater respect for the Chopard (LUC) watches. His explanations where easily confirmed when inspecting the s...
Vlad Dracuul is indeed very scary...
But I'm not sure if he's as scary as you are a saint in Amanico's set of photographs...
I had some serious reasons to be afraid, Filip.
It was good to meet you, my friend. As for the simple timepiece from Chopard, I agree with you, it is one of my fav, too. That's indeed the way it has to be. Best, my friend . Nicolas
That was definitely a great event.
Despite I don't have some much comparison experience, because I'm one of the new "friends", I can tell that is an unforgetable event (at least for me ) This has been told already but once again I want to thank the whole Chopard team for this great event. ...
It was a pleasure to have you during this event, Pascal.
Now, you will have some comparisons, for the next event...Let's say ..;in a few days. I'm sure this " first " will be important for you, as it was a brilliant one. That is the good thing with watches, you always meet passionate and interesting people. Rec...
It was a very nice evening ...
As usual Nicolas ! I am very happy to have seen good friends and to have seen very nice watches, thanks Chopard for this evening ! Best Patrice
Very nice evening
Thanks a lot Chopard for the evening It was very plaisant to try the 78 Chopard Watchs and Patrick's presentation was very interesting Nicolas
They will certainly be happy to read you, Saniloc! Very best, my friend.

Should I recommend you to find an appartment in Paris, Patrice?
All these trips to Patis must be ...Exhausting! But it is always a pleasure to share time with you, Bro. Best! Nicolas
You're the prince of Paris! :-)
gosh what a life you have, must be tough sometimes... Thanks for the report Nico
I have been so looking forward to this report...
and the watch pics. are awesome considering the lighting at these live events.I have had a look at some of the LUC range and I'm very impressed with the quality and the details of the movement;I especially like the mini rotor.You didn't show us the new LU...
I didn't see this one, Fernando
This is the problem when there are too many watches to see... I even wonder if Chopard brought this one with them... I have to admit that it is one of the most pleasant, though. Best, my friend, and thanks for your nice comments. Nicolas
Nico, thanks for the great coverage!
It looked really fun! Ha! The 'Saint' pics are really great! Now the question.... after the 'touch & see' session... frankly, any change in your perspective about L.U.C ? Kong
Well, Kong
I didn't have any perception about LUC watches, as I saw them only recently. I'm impressed by the nice quality of the movements,cases, and the overall finish. I'm less impressed by some of their watches design, to say all. But it is only my taste, and on ...
Wow! Great event!
Very nice dinner! Any photographs of the food? Patrick Wehrli certainly does make a very impressive presentation of Chopard timepieces. Which are very impressive timepieces in their own right. Thank you for the photos! Wished I could've been there!
I preferred to take pics of the Menu, instead of the food, Patrick
It was more synthetic... I came back home with more than 150 pics without the food. How many more would I have to take with the food? Thanks for your nice words, my friend. This night was a blast! Best, Nicolas
No, too many watches, SJX
The place was a bit too dark, and the watches were too many. I was a bit dizzy, to say all. And that's a pity because I wanted to see it. BUT, now that I have the connection, I will ask Patrick to show it to me. Best, Nicolas
Great report, Nicolas!
I'm really impressed by the LUC line from Chopard. The watches for the most part seem very refreshing in terms of their dial designs and the use of the microtor in the automatic movements. I think the Tech line in particular is a successful marriage of el...
Honestly, it was a blast, Daos.
We had a lot of fun, and to see so many watches is always pa pleasure. Yes, I discovered a new fresh air in this horological world, and it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for your comments, sister. Best, Nicolas
My pics, first the "apéro"...
No Chopard on this first part: Next part soon as possible ;-)...
Cool pics, Doug!
The last evidences that we were many watch nuts, here! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Well, PP
There is something in common, the Youth of these creations, and the fresh air, too. As for the retail, I will tell you tomorrow... The wine??? All drunk, my friend...Which may also explain the poor quality of my pics! Best, Nicolas
Thanks for showing us a great time, Nico!
Nicolas, I had been eagerly awaiting your impressions on this event and on Chopard LUC watches in general. I am glad it all went great and that you and fellow guests had a great time. Mr. Patrick is a great host and an excellent communicator. I am glad yo...
I really appreciate Patrick, the Brand, and their watches, Alex
For what they do and represent in the horological world...New things, new conceptions and ideas. Therefore, gathering with such gentlemen is always a superb experience, my friend. Thanks for your nice words, Hermano. Un abrazo desde Paris. Nicolas
Very great evening with Chopard's team and Purists community
Very pleased to meet and discuss with many Purists during this event. Note that some Purists came from USA (Boston) , Belgium or Norway. Picture of head of Vendome column Many Purists and Moderators joined this event in Chopard Reception for this meeting ...
Hey, Patrickh
You took the first pic before or AFTER the dinner? It seems that the Column is a bit tired... Thanks for these pics, my friend. They nicely sum the event! Best, Nicolas
WOW, people came from around the world to attend this great event.
i am sure you guys enjoyed yourself and had much fun time at the event. thanks very much, Nico. Great report again! stefan
Fun, great people and watches, what more to ask, my friend? Thanks!

A great event!! Thanks to Chopard for this very interresting diner! I came back soon with
another pics ans comments......
Seduced by the XP, pifpaf?
It looks very nice on your wrist. I really liked the photo of the new QF. I saw it on the Chopard website, but from their pictures I thought it was a chocolate dial. I guess I was wrong, as it is evidently grey. Any favorite besides the XP? If you like th...
Hi Nicolas, thanks for the report.
It is good to see that Chopard has many supporters. Regards Ling
some lovely watches and lovely people. i am really sad to miss it.
in fact i'm very angry with myself for missing it. i had the suit, the tie, the shoes, the Elgin 6 pos adj cufflinks, but no passport which is away being renewed. it still hasnt come back and its my fault for not getting my backside in gear and sending it...
Yes, you missed something, Graham
And we missed you, too... But in you come in around 10 days, and with your passport... Best, my friend. Nicolas
As always, wonderful posting!
And all the watches are so nice and appealing inside and out. You know what, I like your favorite simple one most though the others are also very nice. Best regards, Baxter
Much appreciated, Baxter.
I would have loved to see SJX's favourite in the flesh, although, as I think it is a winner, but I can't disagree with you on your choice! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thanks for taking us on this dinner with you!
Amazing! But how come i don't see my favourite Titanium SL in sight?! Lol Stephen
Unbeleivable, but all the watches weren't there, Stephen...
Next time, maybe? Best, Nicolas
Few more scans :))
Thank you very much for you report and your AMAZING photos despite the poor lighting … mine are unfortunately not so clear :’( As you have mentioned, Patrick Wehrli’s eloquence is awesome, he has lively shared with us his passion for its Manufacture and t...
And now, a little game for you ....
Now a little game for you dear Purist, to know what watch wore our host, Mr. Wehrli during the evening, associate each caliber with a model - there is a quite small trap HAHAHAH I told you, I am a big Child!! xD Pair 1: Pair 2: Pair 3: Pair 4: Pair 5: Pai...
I'm reassured now, Fred..;I thought I had forgotten SJX's fav,
And I didn't! Thans for these pics and comments, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Fred for these nice catchs. Great collection presented
The strike one is really original with his ding at each hour time but I was much more impressed by the LUC Lunar one with his simultaneous move of all three date hands or numerals. Hope to see a special dial on this model for the 150th CHOPARD anniversary...
What a nice dessert?
Macarons and L.U.C watches! I didn't noticed on the menu that the macarons came with a watch on top. Next time I'll read it much more carrefuly Thanks for those pictures, as I was frustated not to have my camera with me... Best, Pascal
