Stung hard by the Chopard bee...
I have been trying to avoid this bite for a full year. It finally caught me earlier in the week. I'll bring forth a much better post soon, and hopefully without all the plastic still on the watch. ...
You did it, Michael!!!👏👏👏 Huge congratulations!!!🎊🎉🎈🍾
Great shots by the way. Which color strap is your favorite?🤔
The mounted dark gray almost reminds me of old Panerai Vero Squalo straps
It pairs quite well, but so does the brown. Still, I think I can do better with others. The reason the plastic is on the watch, and even while this quick-change system by Chopard is quite impressive, the factory straps are too long for me. I refuse to wea...
They nailed this dial texture. It is uber appealing to me, after 25 years of conventional guilloche dials.
I happen to also love the color!
Top stuff MC....
Can't wait to read your impressions, and particularly how you perceive and experience it relative to your Parmigiani pieces! Congratulations, Filip
I'll be happy to post those impressions after some time.
I have one distinct Parmigiani preference already, specific to setting the time.
I believe you will really enjoy it in person.
I guess I don't need to bring the Lorige when I visit, perhaps this one instead?
Perhaps!
I want you to see the Tutima. That watch has made a major impact on me, and honestly was a convincing domino on going for this Chopard. By the way, M4, you do know this is the Mark IV, as in M4? I know, I know, I have Vladded you enough already!!
I frequent this forum and am glad to be back to Chopard ownership.
The only other I owned was the black L.U.C 8HF.
Hi praise from a man who clearly understands a good hand winder!
Yes, this is the good kind of sting!
Really beautiful watch.
The dial, hands and case are outstanding. Looking forward to a movement shot assuming it’s visible through the back.
Indeed. The 39mm "bassine" shaped case is exceptional!
There are 3 main reasons this 2025 updated Quattro nailed me: 1. The redesigned case amd reduced size 2. The stunning dial 3. The relocated power reserve indicator to the back of the movement It is the redesigned case and shape which allows the movement t...
Thank you very much. I'm smitten with the frosted texture.
I'm sure in part as I have never owned another like it.
Thanks my Friend.
It was one of my favorite releases from 2025. I've been thinking about it more seriously the past few months. I wanted to see the 2026 releases, and that reaffirmed my decision to grab this updated Quattro.
Infinite congratulations!
This has been a standout Chopard piece since its release. So many special features, but I love the Tuscany-like dial, the unique hands, the bee hallmark (which I just learned about), and that movement🤩. The strap system is interesting as you pointed out. ...
Thanks buddy. The strap system is pros and cons like most everything.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid the cons are going to outweigh the pros for me. I'll have a separate and more detailed post about this system. Everything else about the peace is fantastic.
Huge congratulations, Michael🥂
That is one of the best and most beautiful watches currently on the market!! Best,Gerard
Thanks, Gerard.
The style of watch has been on my radar for some time and the updated Quattro seem to check all the boxes for what I was looking for.
I'll grab more photos soon. The texture is so cool.
And the white gold markers and hands really pop off that dial.
Huge congratulations, Michael!
Such a beautiful piece! Looking forward to seeing your next photos. Best, Emmanuel
Thanks my Friend. I know the dial color is not completely your flavor
And I know you have seen this one up close. I did quite a bit of research on it the past months, as I was unable to handle one before buying it. I find many of the the posted photos make the dial look much more blue than it actually is. My own phone camer...
