I so happen to know a little (very little) more than the average Joe about watches and hence my ranking of Chopard will be different. Ranking is so subjective, it is based upon the knowledge of the person on the subject, thrown in a few of his own likes and dislikes. There is no univeral "correct" ranking of watch brands. Some would swear by PP while others are sold 100% by Lange. Chopard is a relatively new in the high end watch game. Chopard has a longer and perhaps wider reputation as a jeweller. The LUC range is about a decade old. So there is not that many who would know about the stuff they have produced lately. The other (earlier) Chopard watches are more high jewelry than haute horology. So this employee of this anonymous watch manufacturer is perhaps not too verse or up to date with the watch scene or simply does not like what Chopard does for it watches. Nothing to get worked up for. Regards
