More about Chopard:
Chopard launched its L.U.C collection in the late nineties amid the resurgent interest in mechanical watchmaking that characterized the decade. The 1860, named for the year of Chopard’s founding, launched in 1997 and was an instant success, becoming a covetable collector’s item and bringing new interest to Chopard as a watchmaker. 2023’s version brings a new caliber to the 1860 and removes the date window resulting in an elegant dress watch with an impressive self-winding caliber.
