Thanks, I agree that for everything they do, they don't get the attention; they also don't market heavily either, so there's that...

Yes agreed. I was also shocked to find out how many watches Chopard makes which is several HUNDRED thousand pieces per year which is HUGE. Much larger than ALL the other major Swiss brands besides Omega and Rolex.

The LUC line is exceptional so eventually I imagine more people will realize this fact. The marketing department for Chopars would simply need to tweak their social media presence which would go a long way 😉👍

Isn’t that amazing! The production number are astounding

But as you know, the Swiss elves working on the LUC collection are busy working on the true masterpieces we enjoy seeing. Such a great family owned company to be sure. Enjoy your weekend!
