 UNIQUE AND RARE EXAMPLE OF WATCH: REGULATEURWITH
VERY BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE MOVEMENT CA 1890’sVERY BEAUTIFUL MECHANICAL WORK  The best source for vintage watches offering this timepiece. It is a CUSTOMIZED WATCH – REGULATEUR that features a BLACK DIAL with GOLD AIR BALLONS, GOLD PLATED CASE and QUALITY ENGRAVED original pocket watch mechanism with the THREE FINGER BRIDGE, BI-METALLIC MICROMETERREGULATOR & BLUEBREGUET BALANCE SPRING. It was made by the WANDOLECART STUDIO based on “L.U.C. –CHOPARD” movement that dates to ca 1890’s.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 handsome BLACK enameled STEEL dial is in excellent condition, absolutely no chips of abuse.It is featuring a 60minute checkered outer track border with gold enamel five minute Arabic numerals, gold enamel based Arabic numerals, gold steel Breguet-style hand and TWOseparate dials: a recessedsub-seconds dial with “sweep” gold steel seconds hand and 60 second outerchapter with gold Arabic numerals and sub-hour dial (London Time) with “sweep” goldsteel hourshand and gold Roman numerals.The newdial has been professionally updated, and now is in excellent condition.

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.
