Chopard

We had the pleasure and honour to be invited by Chopard Malaysia to share a dinner with Karl-Friedich Scheufele and his wife, Christine, at Tamarind Springs Kuala Lumpur.

The restaurant itself is hidden in a emerald area of Kuala Lumpur (Ampang Jaya)



















Beautiful ambience inspire us to dive into a dreamlike state...



And there was a lone watch on display, the Chrono One



The Scheufeles make their appearance...



And Karl was promptly bombarded with questions about his brand








A couple of shots of dinner





And people enjoying the proceedings







 




Thanks for viewing!

Our thanks to Shah, Chopard Malaysia and Kong for arranging for our invites!

K T, thanks for taking those wonderful pictures. 
That place was dim and your pics turned out very well reflecting the cosy ambience.

Enjoyed the evening meeting up with all of you and the engaging conversation with KFS.

Thanks to Shahjahan for inviting the Purists.

Such friendly people at Chopard....Geneva and Malaysia!

I have recently realised that in a world of CNC robots and CAD graphics, the one unique selling point of any PuristS' watch is it's provenance. Who are the people behind your chunk of metal and glass?

When it is Chopard, you know there is a family behind the brand  -   the Scheufeles.

There is a real watch lover as co-President.

There are no public shareholders pushing for higher share price and cutting corners.

Chopard watchmaking success is about the marathon and not the "sprint in front of the cameras".

 

Thanks KT and Kong for the pictures of happy smiley people from Malaysia  -  Team Chopard and PuristS.

Regards,

MTF

 

You can sense the passion in the short time we had with them. Definitely a brand I will be looking out for in the future. Thank you Chopard and Kong for the invite.

KT, great pics as usual.

An honour to meet and dine with Mr and Mrs Scheufele. Speaking to Mr Scheufele further reinforces my high opinion of Chopard Watches. The first professional encounter was when Mr Shahjahan took excellent care of the bezel on my Pro One. Thank you Chopard, Mr Shah, Purists and KT for the invite and an outstanding evening.

thanks for the update Kelvin...

.miss you guys ;-)

cheers
joe

u coming up???

Thanks for the post and the great pics. It looked very memorable.
Going to such an event would be reason enough to fly to Singapore!
Many thanks for sharing KT
Kind Regards, Joseph

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia though

My apologies, of course.
I was just thinking of taking the train from Singapore

It is my pleasure to meet the owner of the brand, especially in recent years, you only find handful family-owned watch brands and Chopard is one of them.  Mr. Karl is surprisingly down to earth, humble and "very open" in answering some queries.

Chopard is a brand that needs more recognition for its undervalued and understated status.

Thanks Shah and the Malaysia Chopard team for the invite and the effort in holding the event.

Thanks Kelvin for the excellent shots and coverage of the event.

Some said this event would be perfect if it ended with Chopard door gift.

Dear all, sorry for my late post. It was a pleasant evening in the Tamarind Spring restaurant. Reminds me of good times in Langkawi earlier this year. Anyway, not knowing much of whats the reason of the dinner before that, i was expecting to see more LUCs but not too dissapointed as we get to meet Karl, truely an honor. And before anything, thanks to VL KONG for the invitation and Chopard Malaysia for organising it.

I would like to share some photos i took....didnt turn out as good as i thought though so please excuse me

OK we reach pretty late thanks to someone who crave for nasi lemak and rendang

The place

Over looking a golf course...

AND this, the highlight of the night ONE and ONLY....

 

The specs...perhaps a bit too small to read=P

And the ladies' Chopard And the husband forgot to put on his QF.... unforgiveable! 

And the best Chopard LUC watch worn by a fellow friend

Next to a Reverso...which one looks better?=P

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers.

 

Clear, nice.

Arr...which is better, which context?
Someone must have like it to buy it ...subjective
