Friends,


At the height of the Summer classic racing season, PuristSPro interviewed Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, Co-President of Chopard in London, UK.

He talks about the Chopard Classic Racing watches so far....and other plans.

Looking forward

to watching the video later on tonight when I'm home and learning about the watches that I might be able to afford in 15 years time...

Did you watch the video after all?

the aperture, The video just sparked off more questions.... Classic Racing range of watches with in-house Chopard movements may be a tad more expensive than outsourced calibers but are still "affordable" . The Ferdinand Berthoud FB1 chronometer is a different prospect but this is the cost of true luxury! Regards MTF

Yes, I have seen it.

A very interesting video, but a shame that someone seemed to be emptying the dishwasher close by. I do like the idea of the Historique Monaco pieces having the in house movement. I\'m not too sure my purse is large enough. It\'s a shame that I have spent quite a bit lately on new watches, Chopard tells me there is a private sale of end of line pieces in London this weekend. As tempting as it is, I can\'t really spend much more... It will be a while until I claim my fourth piece, hopefully a 2008

Your comment about the collector's concern does seem off base to me.

Maybe you were speaking of general collectors and not PuristS (although that stance would be a surprise since you are the CEO here). I believe most PuristS rather have the in-house movement, even if it were a little more expensive and took longer to get. Being a Purist, you learn patience in acquiring what you want. I am not concerned about how many they can make.

It is great to see Karl-Friedrich Schefele tell it like it is. No fluff.

A real elegant gentleman - they do make them like this any more. The James Bond of the watch world. Very chic and very passionate about his watches. Bill
