That's a very broad question! You can scan back months and years through this forum to see opinions

You will find that they are a family-owned and operated business making watches and fine jewelry, with a high regard for technology, fine finishing, and responsible sourcing of precious metals.
The owners have been very supportive of WatchProSite and have listened to our input on several models. In fact there have been some special models built for our 10th anniversary.
I have handled many Chopard watches, worn a few, but currently do not own any. But that's because of the multitude of others I already own rather than any shortcomings in Chopard products.
Let's hear what current owners have to say.

PS - the family likes and supports vintage sports car events too

I didn’t know they were family owned. I’ll scan back and do some research and will check them out in person at an AD!

I may be biased since I started here with an innocent question about the Chopard LUC Chrono One and got into the hobby that way. In addition to what Mike and MTF wrote I very much like their attitude - i.e. as a family owned firm they often go for the ‘ri...

Next time I will check these out in an AD.
That may be a bit of a challenge...

The Mille Miglia 2014 Race Edition may still be found, the two LUC pieces are long out of production, though... But there’s a great current collection that’s worthwhile checking irrespective
Both sides of the Chopard company before merger were watchmakers
By: MTF : August 7th, 2018-12:08
