Superb article, Ken. I was particularly interested on what you wrote on the micro rotor.
And Automatic movements.
While I cannot disagree on this list, and our dear Baron, either, as I think his automatic Patek he posted houses this movement, and as the JLC Cal 920 made for Patek and VC is, undisputably a great movement, I would also have included, in the list, the Lange automatic movement, with its 3 Quarter Rotor, you know, the one in your Anniversary. 
I must say that the Chopard L.U.C 96 is extremely interesting, too.
Thanks for this great post!
Best,

Chopard Academy in Tokyo
If you are reading this, many of you already know what are so good or great about Chopard and why, how. I have attended " Chopard Academy " to attempt to teach people who may know Chopard, but not much about its Men's watch and history, etc. Thanks to Cho...
Chopard revision course
KIH, Thank you and also Hirota-san for such a comprehensive revision course about CHOPARD. Many facts were forgotten and now I am well reminded why I like this brand, its people and the products. I always say that first it is about the People and then, th...
PR is not enough for Men's area in Japan...
... so, Chopard needs these events more and more.... Ken
Thanks a lot Ken for the comprehensive report!
I would like to attend similar presentation here in France. But not in Japanese. ;) Fx
Hahaha...
... when the brands CEO visits, there is always translator. When these things would happen in France, there would be a translator. Of course. Various people speak various languages and the watch market is global.
Thanks, Damjan!
There are a lot we don't know about Chopard yet. Would love to know more! Ken
Now this is the kind of post I come here for
Ken, many thanks for a very interesting and enlightening post! I'm not interested in a brand's association with a film festival, or motor-racing/sailing/golf, or individual well-known faces; I'm interested in the integrity and quality of their products, t...
This IS the discussion I come here for...

Indeed, you're absolutely right...
MTF, I should probably have been a bit more nuanced when I wrote that. In my case, I was thinking of the 'glamour' associations - you know, a film or sports star being paid to be a 'brand ambassador'. Those generally turn me off (as does that term!). Nor ...

Agree with including Lange Automatic, too!!!
Superb, very, very accurate movement at any position! Ken
Ken, thank YOU!
That was a great read. I must admit that it had not occurred to me that Chopard's stainless steel cases were forged. Very interesting. Hirota-san and I agree -- two of my favorite watches house two of his top 3 automatic movements! Best, Ken
Pleasure is all mine!
I have admired the L.U.C line for a long time and still realized that there are a lot to learn. This is the brand we should keep our eyes on. Ken
Observation
Just an observation: The subdial is darker than the rest of the dial on the poster (first pic), but different from the real models (2nd and 3rd Pic) 3 different models ? This message has been edited by MervC on 2014-12-03 22:46:35 ...
Merv, the image in the poster is a rendering I suspect...
so the color may be off. If an actual photo. the subdial may appear darker simply because of the lighting. The watches in the second and third pictures are two different years. The former, you'll note. does not include "QF" in the dial. The latter, which ...
Thanks for the post Ken!
Watched all the videos and they reminded me of my visit to the Chopard factories in Fleurier and Geneva. Also was introduced to Fairmined (R) gold. Thanks for the post. And I agree with the list of the three movements; those are truly exceptional movement...
