I like a lot of chopard watches
For me, I cannot understand the excessive love for these XPS. The seconds dial is way too high up, almost touching the center of the dial 🤷♂️ if it were lower (ie make a bigger movement since this is not the problem of the case being too large) these would be stunners. The strike one looks really good in this iteration for sure.
Visit to the NYC Chopard Boutique . . .
Opportunity to see the new L.U.C XPS Prussian Blue: They also had the new L.U.C Strike One in Titanium: A much better fit on my wrist than the XPS Prussian Blue: The COSC-certified L.U.C 96.32-L delivers 65 hours of power reserve and features an 22K gold ...
The movement looks quite small...
...and the date sub-dial looks too small. Something is 'off' with the proportions of these latest models imho...
Agree
And a hot take from me, I think Chopard gets a very big pass for having incorrectly sized 30-year old movement while other brands get murdered for the same thing.
What is this marking in your picture?
It looks like a blemish, but I don’t think that was what you were pointing out, was it? ...
This is something else I just learned from you…
I didn’t realize Berthoud is owned and manufactured by the Chopard Group. But the bee hallmark is not used on Berthoud pieces per my reading. Thanks again for this brand knowledge.🙏🏽
Yes, as Carlos correctly stated, it’s a hallmark of a bee . . .
Which signifies the case is crafted in platinum: Apologies - quite difficult to capture with the boutique’s lighting conditions: ...
I love the Strike one, especially
the first rose gold/grey dial iteration. The Quattro is very nice too, but the blue dial speaks less to me. Are you tempted to acquire it? Best, Emmanuel
Thanks for the photos Mach!
The Strike One and platinum Quattro are outstanding. Among many nice details, I like the crowns on these watches. The outdoor shot of the platinum Quattro highlights the beautiful dial. Well done. Thanks again. M4
