6-7 seconds, perfectly OK for me. I guess I assumed better for that precision instrument...
But in no way does that diminish how incredible the piece is. I always love when you post it on the Chopard Forum.
Astounding accuracy from the Lorige LOR-DB02
5+ days of continuous operating on the initial winding, +/- 0 seconds. Tuned as well as the DP-i car the case is made from! ...
Thanks for replying. I was thinking about something very cool... my very watch was at one time traveling over 175 MPH on a racetrack!
OK, not the whole watch, but every part of the case and dial!
I bought this, so you can guess where I stand on the matter!
Lorige has no interest in being RM or any other brand. This is something completely different. Obviously, the case shape will bring forth the comparisons. At the end of the day, there are 2 HUGE differences between the two: 1. One is real, authentic autom...
Well, you make a great point. The hands on the watch are quite large, and it is very easy to ready at a glance.

I always hope for +/- 5 seconds out of the box. This one, and a few others I have, are far better.
You certainly know all about accuracy with your Chopard Chromometer! That one is undoubtedly great.
Actually, that one runs outside the
specs right out of the box, believe it or not. Minus 6-7 seconds a day or so

I appreciate your reply, Emmanuel.
I will make a separate post about the movement specifics and where it is made. I understand this particular watch is not your typical preferred genre, but I really appreciate your reply. The most noteworthy detail about this piece is the unique case mater...
Of course, the unique and personalized case material
sets this watch apart. But as you say one can only appreciate the fact that they’ve also chosen a very accurate movement!
