Future Plans for movement 1.96
Anyone know if Chopard has plans for another dress watch with seconds using the movement 1.96 and its excellent finish. I missed out on the 1860 and 1860/2. Thanks, Mike.
1.96
Don't know about plans, but I do have an 1860 hunter-back from the early production in yg. Its a gorgeous watch and a spectacular movement. When I was timing it against the US nuclear clock after it came back from Chopard service, it had a spell over a 1 month period where it recorded an average variation over 1 month of 0.0606 seconds!
amazing accuracy!
Iam more blown away by the beauty of the movement's hand finishing but accuracy is certainly a bonus. I am in love with bridges that have wide polished bevels. no machine can really do this. (Chamfering ?) Look at your bridges where the right angles come together and be amazed!!!

Hi Mike
The Caliber 1.96 is installed into another later model after the 1860 series (the 1860/2 models are still in production).
The next one is the classic TWIST Ref : 16-1888-1001 of a bigger diameter case at 41 mm with the small second-counter offset.
You could have a look in the Chopard e-catalogue:

I don't know if there are new plans with the Cal 1.96, if you could obtain the 1860/1 (like Robert's), it is very nice piece.
Next year is Chopard's 150th Anniversary, perhaps there might be something in the pipeline.
