Chopard

Hello fellow members,

I am looking to buy a proper watch book on the history and heritage of LUC.

The only one I found was "Chopard: The Passion for Excellence" by Salome Broussky, Helmut Stelzenberger in Books

Unfortunately, this looks like a heavy brochure with lots of two-fold pictures, little if any history or models from the past.

Can you guys recommend something proper, in the sense of containing more than just hi-res pictures?

Much appreciated!

I highly recommend it to you.

It focuses on the origins of the brand, both in the jewelry and watchmaking sectors, and how it came to be what it is now.

It is definitely worth having!

Perhaps if you have specific questions, you could pose them here and we could all chip in to answer them in the best way we can?

Best regards,

Alex

Thanks, Alex

I must admit, I find it extremely odd there is *only* one book for the brand, and to add insult to injury, it is a combined jewellery and watches, i.e. focus is elsewhere...

Anywho, the book is not that expensive, so I should just go buy it.

Cheers

Present day L.U.C. is still very young at merely 15 years, since the Fleurier manufacture was founded in 1996, and as such there is still a lot of history to be made.

I remember a publication by a magazine called Movment which presented a special issue dedicated solely to Chopard L.U.C. a couple of years ago. Perhaps that will be helpful to you as well.

Cheers,

Alex

I ordered the book already; will try and find the magazine in question.

For some reason my PM here does not work; sent email to BillM - hopefully it will work soon

Cheers
