For the Day 1 of P.O.T to L.U.C Fleurier, please click here. 13 October, 2009 , Another great and refreshing morning ... The lake from my balcony at 7:30am .... After breakfast, we left to Chopard Geneva (which was covered during my 2008 visit ). We arriv...

The factory layout and machines are very impressive, and I am very proud to owned a piece manufacture and quality tested from the factory. Todate, the piece with many bees at the back of the case is the most often watch on my wrist. Thanks Kong to keep me...

Thank you very much Kong for posting photographs of this wonderful tour with Chopard. It was a true honor to tour the Chopard factory and experience the world of Chopard. I recently visited the Chopard showrooms on Madison Avenue and I saw a very special ... 

Thanks for reading. If you have more pics, please add. Next year should be an interesting year, and if you are in Chopard Madison Avenue, please take some pics. Kong

I didn't have any more photos to supplement the photos you took of the first day, but I do have one or two photographs I can add for the second day. Alas, I didn't bring my camera with me to Madison Avenue. But I will the next time I go to Madison Avenue....  

....is making me wish I could've been there in person. I'm very impressed by Chopard's operation, and was fascinated to read about the gold smelting process. Thanks so much for documenting the trip for those of us at home. Cheers, Daos

Not every watch manufacture has its own gold foundry. We were very special to see this and to actually hold the raw materials before it was melted and turned into 18K gold.

Again a fantastic post. For those of us who weren't able to experience it first hand, this is the next best thing.It makes us appreciate more the final product after seeing the laborious step by step process involved in manufacturing. I wonder if such a e... 

Thanks Kong for the FANTASTIC posts. Love to see how they work and how (almost) everything is done. Chopard is doing a great job. Thanks again. Vte

is done internally. Just waiting for the hairspring now Thanks again Vte for reading. Kong

I have just customized my list of brands here to include Chopard, with the emphasis on L.U.C. But I will have to gather great courage before accessing their catalogues. You know how these things can go! amerix

thank you for adding in Chopard. With next year 150th anniversary, I think there might be some nice pieces, and Chopard is in the process of renovating a building to build own standard calibres for the MM and other lines too. So, please check out the cata... 

It was already about 2 months ago. So fast ... It has been enjoyable to read your post. Couldn't wait for your next one. Regards Ling

Hi Ling 2 months ago, you were boarding a plane to Geneva ....and met with the group and the Chopard People. I don't have the next one. Hopefully one of our friends would post the mountaineering trip. Since you are nice, award you a gold-bar Kong...  

2.3kg! Thanks for the award. But, I left it in Chopard's factory. Regards Ling

Combining with previous visit posts, would provide a better pic. Third round? Thanks Stefan. Kong
