Thank you, Markus
Your series of reports has been greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
On regards to the offerings by Chopard, I am very happy for them and wish them all the success with these new models.
I wonder if they intend to release another limited edition version of a steel Chrono One but with the new case size?
Cheers,
Alex
Baselworld 2011: The big PuristSPro report -- Chopard
Basel 2011 Novelty report Chopard by Marcus Hanke Last year, the Chopard company celebrated its 150th anniversary. For that occasion, the manufacture presented several highly remarkable pieces. It is thus not astonishing that this year the number of novel...
Chopard is moving with the times
Thanks Marcus for the report. As a 'conservative chap' I am always a little wary about change in design ethic. The big surprise for me was the Mille Miglia SuperFastSplit Seconds. The design is modern. Usually, Chopard was criticised for having great move...
For me, the Mille Miglias were modern enough, as they were up to now ...
... my secret dream is the 1937 with silver dial. It is so much more beautiful than last year's (original) 1937 version, and I am eager to learn about its price. Regards, Marcus
Thanks a lot Marcus.
This year at Chopard seems to be a year of consolidation more than a year of innovation. But the collection is very nicely made. Fx
Great looking range!
I especially love those new Chrono One models. Just, wow! I am definitely looking forward to seeing them in person at the boutique. Thanks for the report, Marcus.
I like the direction...
Granted that those painted dials have a specific targeted market, but I like how the line is shaping up. Was with a friend the other day who was wearing a very nice Mille Miglia. So nice to see a good automotive watch that is not car specific. He races ca...
Wowsa!
That L.U.C Tech Twist in Carbon fibre is mamma mia drop dead beautiful! Now my eyes are on Chopard all over again! Cheers Stephen
Thanks for introducing the beautiful watches, Marcus.
My favourites would be the Urushi watches and the Chrono One. Regards Ling
No: because..............
doubleup, There is no micro rotor winding mechanism in the Chopard LUC Carbon Fibre Tech Tourbillon. Even if you did not know that all current LUC tourbillons are hand wind, the secret rule (now not so secret) that if a LUC watch has a power reserve indic...
I dont know where I read micro rotor on that particular watch write up..
Sorry about that, must have been looking at a different write up. That makes sense and thanks for the response, I really like their display backs, they remind me of FPJ movements only black.. Really neat watches, handled a engine one recently and I think ...
Thanks for the report!
The Chrono One is my favorite of the collection with a classy style, and for sporty style the "L.U.C. Tourbillon Tech Twist is my favorite. I think if I had to choose between the two I would have to go with the "L.U.C. Tourbillon Tech Twist. With only 25 ...

Chronographs
Thanks Marcus, Again interesting commentary from the 'floor' or the show. There is a lot to like here, but I am also worried by this trend of not putting markers on the chronograph subdials. LW, Zenith, and now Chopard with the Chrono One. The only argume...
Decadence ...
... Maybe decadence is a rather strong word, but I see a development in industrial design, that goes into the wrong direction: chrongoraphs that cannot be used to measure time intervals, watches even that cannot be used to read the time ... what's next? o...
