much attention from others !

...I wud say the artist def has a better handle on the flora than fauna. The dauphine hands, absence of secs hand, the thinness of the case all help bring focus directly onto the dial. Personally always liked the dial closer to the crystal. The depth of different characters cud have been played with to give it a 3D effect like seen in some other models (maybe it is but not apparent). Still a remarkable piece.

3 D actually, especially the plants in front of the lion.

This dial needs to be inspected in person. Hence unfortunately my photography skills are not worthy. :-(

For me, it’s a bit reminiscent of Rousseau’s "Garden of Eden."  To have it on the wrist must be endlessly fascinating!

“Unique” since it is hand painted by the master !


“Master Minori Koizumi, an Urushi master chosen by Chopard for his extreme artistic mastery”


Did you mean the dial reminds you of “The Dream” or “Garden of Eden” ?


The Dream




The Garden of Eden


If “The Dream” then please my earlier posts. Thanks for reading about my “dream”.

Yes, I absolutely meant "The Dream." Thank you for catching that. Now that I have checked out your links, I see that I was on target!
Thanks so much for providing the links to your previous threads -- the back story on your beautiful pieces is truly fascinating. Congratulations on owning such wonderful pieces of horological art. Cheers, Jim

This model is my favorite! It's a very nice one you got!

piece so that my Jungle will not be lonely !

But no longer available 😢

in getting it in an auction !

Here is a post of my journey :

Auction looks like a good route. Boutique already confirmed there is no more Jungle

passing by several boutiques in Asia and will enquire about the situation.

I think it’s probably because it was released way back in 2012. Boutique told me they don’t have the dial anymore otherwise they could make one for me.

Thanks for checking. Please let me know if somehow there is one. 😀

check internally first.
