Thanks Nico, I didn’t know of this reference, +1 on case size, though with all those sub dials legibility would be too hard, maybe they could made a bigger circumference movement, that would be more harmonious, but either way it’s a great watch.
The combination of a chronograph and a perpetual chronograph is one of the classiest I know. Chopard has its own interpretation of such a classic, with several versions, in gold, in platinum and... In Titanium. This is the last one we'll see, here. The L....

Now in my humble opinion, it’s not something I would spend the asking price for multiple reasons. On the dial side, the leap year and the day/night indicating rings are forced in the chronograph sundials so the overall esthetics of the dial are compromise...
It’s not easy to find space to display so much information, my preference goes to Patek(5270), Vacheron(Malte Perpetual) with the little number displayed separately.
The 3970, is perfection, for that movement, perfect proportions in my view. The reason I put the 5270 above all is that the dial is cleaner, easier to read and also that they made the month/day display window larger. But we all have our own tastes and tha...
To me an opportunity that could have been grand. Size at 45 makes it tough for most of us mortals, the standard perpetual at 43 is already stretching it in my opinion. Love titanium but wish they would have dated a bit more on the dial. Gray is quite eleg...
.. I guess it's not a surprise that it ends up being so thick. I didn't realise it was 45mm, so I suppose 15mm probably means it looks right, but it's a very big watch. My chrono one is 42mm x 13mm and I consider it a large watch, the new quattros are 43m...
Another stunning under appreciated piece from the House of the Happy Diamonds. Variner balance, Breguet overcoil, etc... No respect for this brand that in 28 years has created some truly wonderful Haute Horology pieces. For example, the 1.96 original 1996...
I feel that Chopard has the opportunity to at least level some of the playing field against Patek/Vacheron. But if you don’t get the sizing right this is just a wasted opportunity. Mon ami I miss you!!! Sorry it was a rushed trip to Paris last weekend so ...
