This brings the total number of Chopard Boutiques in the USA to seven: Brickell City Centre Miami, Bal Harbour FL, Las Vegas NV, Costa Mesa CA, San Francisco Airport, Houston TX and New York City.
It is not a coincidence that there are two Chopard boutiques so close to Miami since the "catchment area" includes visitors from or travelling to Central and South America as well as the Caribbean. We're looking at you...luxury shoppers from Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Suriname!
Bravo! Chopard!

The L.U.C 1860 reference is a notable offering within the L.U.C collection, distinguished by its focus on classical watchmaking principles and refined aesthetics. This particular model, introduced at Watches and Wonders 2023, represents a continuation of Chopard's commitment to high horology, emphasizing traditional craftsmanship and a discreet presentation. It is recognized for its balanced proportions and the integration of a finely finished movement, reflecting the brand's in-house manufacturing capabilities.
This reference features a case crafted from Lucent Steel, a proprietary alloy, measuring 36.5 mm in diameter. The watch is powered by the L.U.C 96.01-L automatic movement, which is visible through a sapphire crystal case back. This movement is equipped with a micro-rotor and offers a power reserve of approximately 65 hours. The dial is presented in a salmon color, complemented by a sapphire crystal on the front.
Appealing to collectors who value understated design and mechanical integrity, the L.U.C 1860 fits into the brand's lineup as a dress watch with significant horological merit. Its limited production and specific material choices contribute to its appeal among enthusiasts seeking a watch that combines traditional watchmaking with contemporary material science. The model is a testament to Chopard's ongoing development in its L.U.C range.
Adriana Lima ALL DAY LONG!!
I'm showing my age that I only recognise Ms Nemcova. Regards, MTF
