Chopard

Collected this beautiful piece of art recently, together with a few friends.  Then it was off to a japanese restaurant for a little celebration.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  Pardon the photos qualities.

Not only a watch, but a work of art, both back side and dial side!

That is a very special and gorgeous piece, do you plan to get another strap for it?

did you say that? What is your view

if you like the current strap then that's good as well however if I owned this piece I would be looking for two straps 1) a stingray strap dyed light honey brown with golden thread stitching (since stingray is used on the handles of Japanese Swords) and the 2) would be a light brown crocodile strap with either golden thread stitching or thread the same color as the goldfish...not sure would have to think about it. 

Will think about it when it's about time to change the strap.

Congrats Melvin!!

You may be happy to know this recent news ....

"Chopard Urushi goldfish 18K white gold and makie (traditional Japanese art of lacquering) wristwatch (Lot 97) created by Japanese artist Kichiro Masumura with Yamada Heiando, aroused great interest and inspired intense competition, finally selling for a notable HKD$325,000 including buyer's premium, over 4 times its pre-sale estimate...

Enjoy this auspicious piece of L.U.C

that Chopard doesn't increase prices for its urushi pieces before I collected mine ;p

What a beautiful work of art in a watch!
And once again, you show how you can spot a piece you like and at good value!
Hope to see this new timepiece of yours someday when we meet again.

Cheers

thought. See you on Thu.

... Congrats, my friend. This is not only stunning time piece for time, but also a beautiful art piece.

Was honor of having a chance to see it in metal. Really nice piece indeed.
