VERY BEAUTIFULMECHANICAL WORK Add in the right touch this CUSTOMIZED WATCH model that features a WHITEenameled DIAL, ORIGINAL SILVER CASE, and high-grade originalpocket watch mechanism withBLUE STEEL SCREWS, THREE FINGER BRIDGE, RAISED& SCREWEDTHREEFOLD in ROSE GOLD CENTER JEWEL CHATON & BI-METALLIC MICROMETERREGULATOR.HISTORY of CHOPARD By the middle of the 16th Century the watchmakingindustry started developing in Switzerlandwhen the Huguenots, French Protestants who were members of the Reformed Church, established in the region. Genevaand later the region of the Jura soon became the epicentric of the watchmakingindustry.During the windy months of winter in the region of theSwiss Jura, the country people dedicated their time to manufacture movementsfor Swiss presicion pocket watches. Peasents recieved orders from Geneva through theComptoirs, selling organizations which provided the peasents with thecomponents of watch mechanisms in order to have them assembled. In spring theycollected the finished movements and started trading. Until 1830 only watcheswith key mechanisms were produced in the region. In 1860 Louis Ulysse Chopardfounded his company in the small village of Sonvilier. There is norecord of the first years production but we know that since then it hasproduced watches that meet the highest standards of quality and presicion. Thefirst Chopard watch we know is a thick pocket watch with the signature Choparde Sonviller.In order to identify his production from the rest, L.UChopard focused on quality and presicion and developed the finest watches inSonvilier.From the begining of the 20th century on, domestictraditional watchmakers started disapearing gradualy due to IndustrialRevolution.Chopard decided that there was still a clientele forhis watches and left to Eastern Europe. Hevisited Hungary, Poland and Russia and his watches reached CZarNicholas II's court.In 1920 the company moved to Ginebra.The period between the two World Wars was critic formany watchmakers and jewelers, but not for L. U. Chopard, his son and theirwatches.Louis Ulysse Chopard's grandson, Andry-Paul Chopard, was the head of the firm until 1963when he met Karl Scheufele III -member of a family with a great reputation inthe jewelry business- and, finding himsef with no descendants, decided to leavethe company in the young man's hands.Chopard ModelsLUCKarl Scheufele was convinced that the companyhad to produce its own movement as this meant to aquire the designation of amanufacture. Manufacturers are watchmakers who produce all the components ofthier watches in-house. 1860:In 1996 the firm created its first movementwhich was named LUC to honor Louis Ulysse Chopard. In 1997 the LUC 1860 waschosen as the Watch of the year. TonneauThe movement of this watch was a development ofthe 3.96 calibre The shape of the movement mateches the shape of the case. SportIn 1999 Chopard created the Sports 2000 Thissporty wacth had leather or rubber strap and a 4.96 calibre. Pro OneThis model was launched in 2002 The Pro One isa diver's watch. While it remains classical in its case it presents technicaldevelotments that alow the watch to be accurate eaven at great depths. TourbillonWith a LUC 1.02 calibre Chopard's firstTourbillin was launched in 2003. The creation of this movement implied manytechnical developments and a big step for the brand's place in the watchmakerindustry. RegulateurIn 2005 Chopard received, once again, thedistinction of Watch of the year with the Regulateur, a high presicion watchwith a Quattro 1.98 movement, launched in 2004. GMTThe GMT is the first one within the LUC line tofeature a second time zone. The power reserve on this watch is of 65 hours. QuattroThese watches were introduced on the market in2000 with a new calibre, the 1.98. They presented a 9 days power reservefeature. TwinSpecialsThis timepiece features a new handsome WHITE enameled dial is in excellent to mintcondition, professionally restored to its original status and perfectly done, absolutely no chips of abuse. It features a 60 minute checkered outertrack border, black enamel main Arabic numerals, 24-hourArabic sub-numbering, gold steel Serpentines-Style hands with BLUESTONE and a separatesub-seconds dialwith 60 second outer track, elegant Arabic numerals and "sweep" gold steel seconds hand. The dial is signed L.U.C. below the 12. This model features an ORIGINAL four piece, triple-hingedSILVER case that provides for auseful dust cover over the movement. The case was made especially for L.U.C. Turning the watch over I note that the back lid, with vacant crest, is nice and clean. This watch was converted from pocket watch.The lugs are in great condition while the winding crown is in very good shape and operatesproperly. The inside of the outer case lid is stamped GALLONE and L.U.C.with trademark CHOPARD symbol – the HIVE with BEES and signed around MARQUE DE FABRIQUE and case referent number #61.040. There are also Swiss(Wood Grouse), German (Crescent Moon/Crown) and 0.800 Silver hallmarks. This stamps, case reference number and Silver hallmarks repeat inside on the inner case lid. Lifting this lidreveals an inner dust cover lid, also Silver. This was used to protect the mechanismfrom dust and debris and to provide an extra layer of protection from shock ormoisture. What’s nice about this particular dustcover is how it’s decorated, complete with engraved two tigers with shield andcrown and is signed LIGNE DROITE BALANCIER COUPE – ANCRE 16RUBIS – CHATON – SPIRAL BREGUET 2 PLATEAUX – LEVEES VISIBLES.   Peeking insidevia the glass lid I find a spotless and high quality, manual wind gold platedlever escapement movement with the BLUE STEEL SCREWS, THREE FINGER BRIDGE, RAISED & SCREWED THREEFOLD in ROSE GOLD CENTER JEWELCHATON & BI-METALLIC MICROMETER REGULATOR. Toenhance the power coming through the train, the center wheel is provided with achaton jewel, which is mounted in rosé gold and is screwed threefold. Only jeweled holesminimize reliably the friction due to enormous driving power of the mainspringand consequently the going barrel. The screwed chaton allows the preciseadjustment of the wheel and the quick change of the bearing jewel if necessary.The further wheel arbors are protected by jewels. Themovement that is stampedtrademark CHOPARD symbol – the HIVEwith BEES with signed L.U.C. This beautiful wristwatch has the Original movement in an excellent status which wasvery well saved, considering age of this watch. But, please, note, some of the wearable parts on themovement might be replaced, and custom made to fit, since it is close to impossibleto find original parts.Thisis a “NAIL SET” watch so you don’t pull the crown out to setthe time.Instead, you press the little button near the crown IN and then move the crownto set the hands, releasing the button once you’re finished. It’s easy, sodon’t worry about getting the hang of it! It is fitted on a new Handmade of THE WANDOLEC ART STUDIO 20mm silveralligator style genuine leather strap with chromed steel buckle that has agreat vintage look to it.  Diameter (with crown):           51.00mmDiameter (without crown):      48.00 mmWatch crystal diameter:          41.00 mmThickness:                             15.00mm  This rare watch windsand set smoothly while keeping very good, accurate time.Because of the vintage nature of the watchI cannot guarantee its absolute time keeping accuracy even if they are in goodrunning condition and in some rare occasions may require additional adjustment.Supplied with Certificate of Seller'sWarranty and instructions for care and use of this watch.Always an EXTRA FINE watches at a no Reserve Price!!!If you like rare, antique, unique and collectible vintage wristwatches or pocket watches (or just enjoy learning about all the different watch makers and models) I suggest you bookmark this page or add me to your "Favorite Sellers" list. I always have beautiful pristine timepieces for sale ending Monday. Now on eBay for 10 Years! Recommendations for the owner of vintage watches: - All Antique watches are mechanical. Many repairs will not be cheap, as most likely they will require replacement of non-standard parts (unlike most late model watches).
 - Antique watches should not be beaten or dropped - because repairs may be expensive.
 - Antique watches are generally NOT waterproof. This is because waterproofing was not in general production until the middle of the 20th century for most watches. Therefore you should protect your antique watch from exposure to moisture.
 - If your watch becomes wet it should be dried off quickly. Carefully open all covers and use a hair drier to blow dry the movement, dial, covers, crown. This will reduce the amount of rust.
 - If your watch becomes wet with any kind of salt water you should immediately immerse or spray your watch with fresh (no-salt) water to remove all the salt from the works before drying the watch completely. Any salt left in the watch will combine with moisture in the air to rust metal components of the movement, case etc.
 - Winding any mechanical watch tight may break the mainspring. If you can avoid it do not wind the watch hard.
 - When adjusting the hands of your watch, move them in a clockwise direction only. Counter-clockwise adjustments may damage the movement.
 - If you must adjust counter-clockwise make it for small adjustments only (i.e. for minutes, NOT hours).
 - Be careful and gentle when adjusting the movement speed (faster or slower). Don't make sharp movements, and don't touch other components in the movement especially the pendulum mechanism.
 - Every 2-3 years it is necessary to service and oil vintage watches.
 - If the watch is dirty - allow the watch to run down, don't wind it again until you have it serviced by a qualified watch repair expert. Dust will absorb and remove important lubricants and cause the movement pieces to wear down.
 - To clean the case, dial and crystal you should use a cloth that does NOT leave fibers as these may get caught up in the movement. Check with your Watch repair expert to get an appropriate cloth.
 - Keep your antiques watch away from magnets. Strong magnetic fields may affect the accuracy of your watch since some vintage watches were made with iron based components in the movement.
 - Most Cases and Covers are fine components and will not handle abuse well. The watch should not be shaken, beaten, or stressed.
 - Antique watches generally experience an error of up to 5-7 minutes a day. Any accuracy of +- 5 minutes is very good.
