But I cannot get over that hours cutout or that it's not a useful caller's dual time watch.

I don’t understand the map

I get the colorful bit but I seem to be stuck on why the North Pole is missing. And the asymmetrical openings and non-matching font sizes on either side don’t work for me. Nope, sorry, not interested. Cazalea

but not enough to purchase one. LF watches are desired for their excellent movement and quality finishing. As for the dial, it is colourful but still very nicely done. I would have skip the month and date - keeping the watch as a simple two hands. /W72
Not so much

I can not get over the dial cut out and white wheel background
Dial colors a bit too jarring.

Probably looks better on the wrist but blue, orange and green aren't harmonious for me. The colors in the photo may not be true.

Before in another limited edition of 10, there is one on a well know resellers site for about $30K less. I hear everyone’s complaints about the white openings in the LF cloisonné dial but it may be nit picking. The LF dial is quite well done and covers th...

me. Curiously, though, on the wrist (and who takes greater care with such poses than H.?) the watch stands out too much for me. I think the white discs are part of the practical pedigree of the piece, and tell the viewer immediately what he/she wishes to ...
FH, I agree this LF stands out

But I am a person that likes something to say “look at me” on occasion. For instance I have the De Bethune Steel Wheels that is grade 5 highly politicized titanium, talk about standing out, it is really bright but I pull it off and lit is one of a few wat...
Thank for the information on the technique on the dial...

...so I've been looking around our own Chopard site, as I remembered some posts by Gordon on Urushi (he owns one of these beautiful Chopard). In fact, here's a couple of earlier threads with some really detailed information on this technique, along with a...

In looking on Chrono24 I find 5-6 similar Chopard’s with fine handcrafting in the same price range, defiantly very nice and unique pieces at a great price point. My question is about levels of fine art? I read in the descriptions that the Chopard watches ...
