End of Week Jaunt
After a long wait my 1860SS was ready. I quickly packed my bags, off to the airport, the usual stupid aggro there (why are UK airports soo unfriendly, inefficient and nasty?), and arrived in Geneva with my friend. This was last Thursday evening, Gods! How...
Wonderful watch...
...and wonderful experience. I suppose this is just the way a luxury purchase should be managed by the brands but it looks like Chopard is more an exception than a standard. Congrats.
I am fortunate enough to have the one with
the 8Hz movement, and titanium case. It's a hard choice. Kind regards Antony
They will be making
100-120 per year. So it might not be easy to get, but you will get one in a reasonable time. Rare, uncommon, but not unobtainable! Kind regards Antony
Huge congratulations!
Great choice…stunning movement, the classic case is made well and a guilloché gold dial… Wear it in great health!!
Great watch and a great way to get it. The buyer experience is important.
Thanks for sharing your story it sounds like a memorable couple of days and that watch looks like a keeper!
Keeper it is!
It was a great experience. Overwhelming would be a good description. One is so used to offhandedness or fake warmth that the real thing comes as a bit of a shock. But here it is, a family biz that really cares about its customers......and in our industry!...
This I guess is my dream watch.
The one I come back over and over on my daily perusing of watches and reading about them. Maybe next year I will join the ranks of happy owners. Anyway enough rambling, congrats on your new watch, I’m sure it is a delight to wear. I wish you many happy da...
I think
that this is almost the perfect (only God does perfect!) enthusiasts watch.n Also, whilst a huge amount of dosh in civilian terms, is a relative bargain. Deepest thanks to KFS and his team. Kind regards Antony
perfect enthusiasts watch
its because the design had alot of input and influence by an uber enthusiast; specifically, the only cool Asian person that isn't a member of BTS, the one and only Wei Koh. He was the one who pushed hard for stainless steel. When I was shown this watch th...
Thank you so much Michael,
It is a honey, I am one lucky man. Kindest regards, Antony
It was that
Chopard are a class act and, at their top level, make watches equal to, or in some cases, better than 'the usual suspects' Kind regards Antony
Maybe,
But I'm sure that they read everything. Broad minded people, us Chopard fans! It was a great experience, being a top client/friend you know about that. I just tag along! Kindest regards Antony
Beautiful watch. Congratulations on your early arrival. You must
be the first on this forum to receive yours👏
I believe
that I was honoured to be the actual first delivery,,,,,by about 5 seconds!
Congrats, Antony!!!🎊🎉🎈🍾 Other brands can certainly learn from Chopard!
Please posts some wrist shots and enjoy this 😍gorgeous😍 piece!🥂
They could,
but they probably won't because they are all puffed up with their own importance. The Chopard ethos comes from the top down. KFS is a top man, but straightforward, warm and open. All his staff transmit this warmth and sincerity. It is pretty easy to undes...
Congratulations 🥳
Sounds like a memorable trip filled with all the joys a HoroBoy would like to experience
I strongly recommend it
I am sure that your local boutique would be helpful. The London one is top notch. Kind regards, Antony
A beautiful watch.
Enjoy it. Nice to hear about the overall experience. I have zero familiarity with the brand, the owners but all the positives above are noted. Did I read your post correct in that both you and your friend picked up one of these? If so, that would have bee...
Actually, three of us!
A triple header, as it were! I think that it is a great brand with quality up with the best, and wildly under-rated. If you have the time and inclination you might pop into one of their boutiques and experience it for yourself. I would be interested in he...
Funnily enough, I did drop into one earlier in the summer.
Specifically wanted to see this watch but of course there was none to see. I was a little rushed but will revisit. Sounds like a great little trip.
Congratulations Anthony ☀️
What a lovely design both front and back. This movement has hacking seconds and a cleaner dial with no date. I’m curious, how would you compare the movement looks compared to the 1.96?
