...shay (guilloché) is the product of guillocher ...
... which has the same pronounciation, but as a verb is describing the procedure of making the pattern. Instead of guilloché, the terms "guillochage" or "guillochis" are also used for the end product.

I went for a walk this afternoon
When I sat down to look at the view I also admired this compact masterpiece. Double the pleasure! Thanks for looking ...
A top beauty!
As a curiosity, when describing the dial and guilloche... Do you say - gee-o-shay. Or gee-osh ?

A guilloche is the engraving pen used to create un cadran guilloché (an engraved dial).
First use is -osh, the second -shay (and engraved is a simplification here of course, for the purpose of an example sentence). Also, love the watch
Great so see how this watch and the xps have
brought Chopard back into the limelight with collectors. And righlty so!
I entirely agree
LUC is wildly under valued. An open secret for those who know. Kind regards, Antony
but this "tad sporty" need
justifies the AE XPS... and then some more sport activity.
You are not helping my agenda to cull the number of watches I own! :-)
But you are right - this watch is so me!! The right size, dressy, good movement but sometimes we must try to resist the temptation!
it is always a pleasure to see this timepiece...refined, elegant !
bonus is the lovely micro rotor movement & very classy case size...one couldn't ask for more. enjoy it sir. Best, mahesh.,
