Comfort of the 1937
It's one of those things that isn't immediately evident so i can see how it can be overlooked. But I'm sure that they test wear their prototypes. Perhaps they think that it isn't that noticeable or that important. However, for me, it's very important and affects my overall enjoyment of a watch.
Chopard L.U.C 1937 Classic - "On-the-Wrist" Review
If intellectualism, distinctiveness, refinement and tribute could be made into a watch, the Chopard L.U.C. 1937 Classic would be the resulting product. Reflecting vintage elegance and conventionalism with a hint of modern design, this watch could easily b...
Very Elegant Watch...
I prefer this to any Patek or Vacheron any day, just a gorgeous and lovely watch and I love the inner lining of the strap. Thanks for the great review. S
Thank you!
The inside of the strap is a nice detail. I would think that it was unnecessary but a lot of things for luxury are not necessary. I like the subtlety of it.
Warm and elegant
I still find Chopard is a under value brand for its technical achievement and quality, best, Ed
I'm sure the folks at Chopard...
....are quite pleased to receive this comment from you. I would have to agree with you.
Superb article, Ping. As always, superbly written.
I would have preferred having a manual wound movement, but I can live with tis automatic calibre. No, the biggest issue, for me, is the date, which ruins the dial, with this eaten 6. And a true enamel dial would have been more in my taste. My personal opi...
Happy to have been read by you :)
Thank you! The points that you speak of - an enamel dial, presence of date, and manual wind movement would have made the watch a true true classic - which is always stunning and beautiful imo . I guess they were going for modernized classic, lol. Thanks a...
Nice review, and good observations about the comfort
I've had a couple watches with similar sharp edges on the underside (a GP stands out in my mind). I've wondered if they (the watch people) don't notice, appreciate or consider that as a detraction from their work. It's a needless problem to interpose on t...

Great post.....
I think you have hit on the problem with the look of this watch. Thick markers, dark central area that makes the beautiful white dial feel like it has a vast open space. But I like the movement side very much. Thanks for a great review! J.
Thanks a lot Ping for this great article.
I know both versions of the watch and I really like the grey dial one. I regret the presence of the date on the dial of the white one. I think that the hands work better with the grey dial. Thanks Ping! Fx
Thanks Ping ...
it is nice to have the perspective from a lady watch maven. I hope Chopard received the constructive feedback of the uncomfortable sharp edges digging in after prolong wearing. I hope it is not a side-effect of the oversize case which is hefty thus the ow...
Wonderful read, Ping
Thank you for having taken the time to express us your take on this Chopard, and not to mention your great photos as well. I had a chance to try it on a couple of days ago, and like you, my impressions regarding size also came afloat. A looker on the case...
