Great post, Kong!
No photos of the canteen? I was hoping to catch a glimpse of what was on the menu. 
Curious: Were all of the steel rods for cases or case backs? If they are for case backs, are they all made at the same diameter/size and then machined down to fit whatever case needed? If they are for the cases, are the lugs then added to it?
Great report! Thanks for the details, photos and allowing us to get the inside scoop.

Loved the strand of steel for the bracelet links!
Chopard Factory Visit, Part 1
Back in last summer, July 2008 ( just before the watchmaking holidays), I was thrilled to be invited by Chopard L.U.C to visit the plants in Geneva and Fleurier. The plan was to visit the Geneva plant on first day followed by Fleurier (in Val-de-Travers)....
thanks, Kong. More and more the "family" feel of the LUC line is becoming
more and more important to me, in my impression of a brand and its products. Obviously, quality products of good design are the bedrock of any brand, but who the people are behind the brand, and how they conduct themselves, as well as how they treat those...
Thanks Kong,
Was great meeting you, learned a lot about Chopard and it was a great trip. Best, Michel
Michel, it was nice meeting you too !
The reports you read here was my last year 2008 visit. Preparing our visit 2009 soon, please check back. Kong
