Thanks for posting my favorite Chopards, Kong . . .
. . . I wasn't aware until just now that the recent Chronometers are direct descendants of a previous model. This formula of an uncluttered dial and sporting a small seconds hand in a modestly sized case is my personal favorite, and if I were to build a second thematic collection, it would be centered on such designs; a Patek 9"' - 90 caliber vintage model or 5196, a Lange Saxonia or 1815, Glashütte 1845 Karree or 1878 Moritz Großmann, in addition to the Chopard chronometer . . . these are the types of watches that never go out of style, and can fairly be labeled as timeless designs . . . cordially, Art
A Quality Milestone...L.U.C Qualite Fleurier
" But the most serious one is the Fleurier seal, it is the most logical quality stamp, it tests the watch and not just the movement alone. " Quoted by Philippe Dufour in the August 25, 2006 The Business Times (Singapore). The L.U.C Qualite Fleurier (QF) i...
This post gives justice to a too often underated brand, Kong
You said all and perfectly... This is a pity you don't have the choice between a solid case back and a see through one, as to be able to admire such a caliber! Thanks for taking the time to do this post, and to share with us! Best. Nicolas

Did you actually open the back???
Thanks Kong Impressive report on an outstanding watch. This watch never fails to amaze me. Maybe the reason is that it has never fail any test !!...hehehe ;-) cheers joe
If this watch has the 1.96 calibre, or the swan neck regulator, I will definitely take it
Pity that they are yet to make such item
very nice report and photos
Thanks Kong for this report and photos. I find the hallmark with the head of the St. Bernard dog is the most interesting to me. Cheers.

Fleurier impressions
Kong, Here are some of my impressions of this fine timepiece. I am glad that Dufour recognizes the value of the QFcertification. I wear the watch on weekends so my comments are based on casual usage. After several months with this piece I must say that I ...
Kong, this is an understated and underrated watch
Proof 1: This is the first time I read such a detailed write up about this watch by Kong. Proof 2: It has only 250 pieces. Till to date, you can still find one at the AD shop ( To be precise, I found out about one month ago in Kuala Lumpur). How many year...
My Journey of purchasing and experience of the LUC QF
Beginning of this year, I attended the Chopard GTG and discovered the LUC Qualite Fleurier. Immediately, I am smitten by it. The next day, I verified with the Boutique about the availability of the watch and concurrently, I asked my AD to search a piece o...
