Now I am back in New York - on business trip, of course. Please forgive me, my New York friends as I was really tied up with work even on weekends and I could barely get out of the hotel for this time!
Ah, I once came here, almost 10 years ago, when I brought in my first ever Chopard, L.U.C Quattro for servicing. Back then, this was almost the only watch boutique (surely, there are/ were ladies' products as well), but now almost all the watch brands have boutiques on this Madison avenue, and come and go, but Chopard has been here for quite some time.
Unfortunately, the exterior of the building was under some re-decoration, so please ignore those scaffoldings....
BUT, Chopard NY Boutique gave us its official exterior photo
And the window display on the Madison Avenue are like......
Ladies....
Men's..... Oh, is the one on the far left what I think it is?
As always, doorman is waiting, and looking at me as a suspicious individual
)
Inside, I found the doggy water, which I think was outside before... This has Chopard logo on the side. How elegant!
The usual Chopard logo door "knob".
When you enter the door, you feel as if you entered someone's luxury living room....
Looking down the ground floor from the stair to the upper floor. See the high ceiling....
You can see from the ground floor, but this is the back side of the clock seen from the stair. Personal collection of Mr. KFS... Gotta take really good care of it....
Looks like a "World Time" function , at least, but I am sore there a lot more.....
Model name? Serial number?
And this is how it looks when you enter the boutique, the front side of the clock. Below it is just like the "red carpet" scene...
Even the window side lights from the ceiling is soooo Chopard.
Looking toward the right hand side end of the boutique from the far left side of it. Big.
And on the left, you can see the upper floor.
And, back to the lower floor again just to check the "Chopard: Mille Miglia GTS Power Control Grigio Speciale"
Backside has blacky glass and touch of red. Cool color combo.
Now this one is really light, light, light!
Other new faces - L.U.C Quattro
L.U.C Heritage Grand Cru
Super cool L.U.C displays.
L.U.C Astronomical and calendar related timepieces display.
Ah, 2012, L.U.C Luna Twin
L.U.C Luna One (with baguette bezel)
I saw this in London, too. Such a cool piece (too big as a watch for me, but would like to become a "man" who becomes this pocket watch...)
Many other items - Sunglasses, Neck Ties, Bags, Wallets.....by Chopard for Men.
Ah, yes, Pens, too.
Cool Mille Miglia collection.
Oh, my old favorite, L.U.C Engine One!
And, universally popular L.U.C XP Urushi, made by Japanese Master.....
First time encounter, well, hello. Nice!
And, then, L.U.C XPS Platinum....
Nice for business, casual, off time..... Versatile. Dream watch with 96-01 movement.
Now, ladies' watches, too....
Beautiful... and if you want to have a "set"....
... like this. Never asked the price....
This one is cute. With the moon, star, sun inside....
Imperiale series...
Thank you, Tom, for being a guide for me. And Mr. Milliard, General Manager, Chopard USA, Mr. Meunier, Retail Director, Chopard USA, and Mr. Toth, New York Boutique Director for letting me do this. And Mr. Dobeli (Chopard Japan) for arranging this, as always.
Thank you!
