Chopard Watches
Louis-Ulysse Chopard founded his own watch factory in 1860, in Sonvilier, and began yet another great Swiss watch company nestled in the Swiss Jura Mountains. Chopard loved jewelry, but Chopard watches acquired such a reputation for timekeeping that they became the main provider for the Swiss railway, renowned for its punctuality.
Still known mainly for its jewelry Chopard is not to be underestimated for its technical innovation. The LUC collection's movements are the work of Michel Parmigiani, a fine modern horologist.
