Pieces from the 2009 Collection
Some of the pieces were posted here: chopard.watchprosite.com Added 2 models here, the MM SuperCharged and Speed Black Split Second....
The chrono supercharged dial looks very good
But the case feels a bit overworked with all the lines and the screws on the bezel.
Nice .....
Very nice pictures Kong ! Thanks for sharing. What mvt is used in the Speed Black Split Second ?
Thanks Kong and Chopard for a very pleasant evening
Nice to finally see the Lunar Big Date in the metal as well.
Good to see you and friends too!
So what's your take on the Lunar Big Date after staying in the private room for 20 minutes? The next day several of my friends went over to check it out too. Kong
Its a lovely piece and I'm very pleasantly surprised by the list price
But you know how I struggle with anything above 41mm and with this, the lugs and hence strap seem to stick out just that bit too much. It is a great piece for larger wrists imo.
Hi,it was nice to have a conversation with u! Btw i must still say what a nice watch u had
on that evening Best Regards, ken
Good to see both of you too...
if you like understated, please have a look at the L.U.C range Kong
Thanks
Thanks Kong for the invitation. It was to good to see you and MTF and discuss with fellow Chopard enthusiasts. It was sorry I had to leave early. See you the next time
Thanks Kong and Chopard for the wonderful event, but I forgot to....
I forgot to collect the door-gift when leaving : -( anyway, it was really nice to see all the nice watches and to meet old and new friends at the event. stefan
I need to have this!!!
What was the vintage car model?I need to buy that from a model store to place it next to my Mille Miglia Power Reserve! Too bad I am in Greece and I cannot have that from Chopard!
Alessio7, you are near to the country that ...
makes the model vintage pieces. Will PM you. Kong PS : Could you show us your MM?
Thanks to Kong and Chopard for the fantastic evening!
I must say the qualities of the MM series have improved as well,especially those speed black series. ken
Chrono One
Kong, It was not the theme of the evening, but I was also looking at the other models (LUC) of the Chopard collection. It is because of our Chrono One discussion that I can not sleep any more. That is a beautifull watch (especially the steel version) I ke...
Hey, Chrono Lover ...you are not the only one...
The steel ChronoOne 11CF piece is very well-priced. Good companion to your Minerva. So coming back to Singapore again? Kong
