Carbochon Clarification?

By: MTF : February 6th, 2009-12:05

Thanks Kong for the update of Chopard Happy Love I noticed that you mentioned "carbochon" variations in red, blue, black etc colours. I wonder what the jewellers think? The usual definition of 'carbochon' is "a smooth round or oval, convex, polished gemst...

MTF, you are right!

By: Kong : February 6th, 2009-19:45

The exact definition from FHH : Cabochon (In French: cabochon) A polished precious or fine stone cut into a dome and without facets . I will make the correction in my post. Thank you for pointing out. Is your spelling based on UK English? Kong This messag...

Is it just me or does the white ceramic look a little transluscent like white jade?

By: AnthonyTsai : February 6th, 2009-20:44

I don't think I've seen a white ceramic case with this translucent look. Are there any other brands whose white ceramic cases have this same look? - AT

Somehow it looks a bit ...

By: Kong : February 7th, 2009-00:38

translucent. Just checked out the watch again...the pictures are very close to real piece. I guess it is the amount of white pigment mixed in may not be high before sintering. Kong

K thanks Kong. It's a very interesting look IMO [nt]

Ceramic Bracelet?

By: aaronm : February 8th, 2009-20:55

On the white ceramic chrono, your notes refer to a ceramic bracelet, but the picture looks like a white rubber one. Is the ceramic bracelet an added option? A

Thanks A, ...I'm referring to the body...

By: Kong : February 8th, 2009-21:41

I guessed it is the word 'caseband'. No option for a ceramic bracelet though. I just checked the glossary from FHH: Case middle (In French: carrure) The central part of the watch case that houses the movement. The back and bezel are fixed to the middle. W...

You're right

The happy white chrono

By: LCDW : February 12th, 2009-08:18

in ceramic case is actually nice, but the white rubber strap (as seen in real) somehow seems to be quite proned to colour-changed after some wears The case is nice to touch as the case back also in ceramic. What do you think of the strap? Thanks, Linda

The rubber straps need to relook...

By: Kong : February 12th, 2009-11:02

tend to stain after a while. So it will require the owner/s to wipe it regularly to keep the straps look new. A ceramic straps may raise the price, but not sure how much though...leather white may be a subsitute, but it makes the watch less sporty. Silico...

Yes, the stain is the concern

By: LCDW : February 12th, 2009-14:51

When looking at the piece at boutique, clearly the strap has changed colour a bit and the white ceramic case serves as comparison. Leather is less sporty, yes, but less stainable, I supposed. I like the blue colour leather strap of the butterfly model (",...
