I tell people all the time that Chopard is the best cost to value deal in the entire industry. I have a Mille Miglia GTS and it’s one of my favorite watches. A COSC certified manufacture movement. Very cool racing watch that I picked up used for
I've seen the same optical effect on other videos too, especially when it comes to a central chrono hand and chrono gears - sometimes they appear to stagger.

I have this watch on the bracelet. It's outstanding. So undervalued on the secondary market. The seconds hand sweep that some ppl here are referring to is obviously the result of the camera filming it and not a flaw in the watch
I have this watch. And it's everything you said and more! Its the best value watch ever! Nothing beats it. It's the perfect all rounder watch with 100m water resistance - elegant when dressed up and at home with jeans.
There are brands out there that are really under rated but performs better than more popular watches out there. Simplicity, most of the time, speaks more elegance. :)
I think that's their point. "This is selling cheap so let me point it out so I can make a killing off the stock I bought." These always feel artificial and shady.
I've never been a fan or "Roman Numeral" dials on watches but I do admit that because of the 42mm size casing this Chopard looks amazing as well as crystal clear!! A beautiful timepiece indeed!!!
I'm more on the side of Cuervo y Sobrinos for this type of watch. Something that doesn't leave me...cold. Even though not having an in-house movement. There's something about them I just adore. I'd love to get a video of a Torpedo or Pirata with your macro top-notch view.
I am so fond of the videos you make, I hope you make other videos about pocket watches. Thank you! Always eager to see the very latest videos you make!
Chopard LUC, of the least known groups of fantastic watches. And how about a couple of videos about Glashutte Original watches? They are very high quality and stunning, yet almost no one knows about them.
its amazing isn't it. i never seen a watch line with so many gorgeous pieces and so technologically advanced, and yet the prices for pre-owned pieces are at large discounts to retail. As opposed to Patek's etc. I think the stuffy high end watch community for whatever reason gives Chopard zero respect. Fine with me.
Please keep posting more videos on value propositions And soon to become vintage watches!!! Many of us prefer these instead of more unobtainable Rolexes
That flicker looks like it has to be the frame rate of the camera. The balance spring at 5'17" is doing the same thing, and the pictures look weird, which wouldn't happen if what we are seeing was real. The frame rate and "tick rate" (?) are not quite in sync, that gives the intermittency. Just a thought. < A few seconds later, and there is a CU of the mainspring. To me that looks like a camera artefact.>
Love your videos. Time the eternal measure , space the infinite, tied into a tiny package , a thing of unapparelled Beauty. A great watch is as simple as a drop of water and yet as huge as the ocean, as little as a breath we inhale or as vast as the space, this tiny "tic tock " in-between them hold the very eternity !!!!! Just one point though , in all your videos in the introduction , you mention about subscribing, in that is a very minor correction- "if you already Have " and not "are" … I couldn't help but to share with you, for you are describing - attention to details, passion ,craftsmanship - I hope you take it in the right spirit. Keep ticking and chiming......
"I'd appreciate it If you subscribed to the channel" (subscribed=verb) followed by "if you already are (subscribed to the channel)" (subscribed=adjective) kinda works in my book but I can see why you flagged it. Certainly if he'd said 'subscribed to the channel' in the second bit it would have been correct.
The seconds hand is probably fine. Probably more to do with FPS of the video versus beats per second of the watch. Most of the other videos are probably shot at a lower FPS giving it the illusion of "glide"
I bought my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore QE II Cup, Limited Edition (184/500) Chronograph, in Red Gold and Forged Carbon back in 2016 and I love it more each day .... I'm not sure I could look at this watch every day and do the same ... .
Corn Fed the seconds hand is probably indirectly driven- meaning the movement was designed to have sub seconds and it was modified to have a large running seconds. Because it adds a gear there can be a stutter which I think detracts from the watch as a whole. This in combination with a lower beat rate (probably 21,600 bph) leads to the seconds hand acting like this and because this is the movements architecture this is probably the smoothest it’ll get.
Looking at used Chopards, alot of models go down as much as 60% from the price new, that is insane since they have a few really nice watches. That L.U.C cost 6500€ in Sweden so to pick it up used is a bargain.

@@johanhirte9661 you’re right on Chrono. I got myself examples of high horology in 31.5 and 33 diameter for under 3k which is just insane. But someone’s loss is my gain.
alex mood That is the point. The 33 mm ones are not popular so the value drops. The same with this chopard actually. U can get it on a discount. Even it is basically a better watch than a datejust. Just everyone wants a Rolex.
Love chopard and this is a nice piece, but the real secret bargain of the century was the Nomos lambda 175 years edition in stainless steel.. if you were quick enough to get one
Keep in mind this is a watch seller. They probably too many of these in stock and want to drive the prices up. Where else did you ever hear someone claiming that a pilot-sized dress watch "is not unwearably small!" Now that's rich!
Lol "buying a Chopard may not put you on the list of coolest dudes ever", after buying a LUC Pro One GMT a few months ago, yeah I can't dispute that haha
Very nice watch, but the aesthetic just isn’t doing it for me, and maybe I am not alone & that along with branding is the reason for the price. If they made this dial more minimal with everything you outline, I would likely consider one. Love your videos btw. One small issue is the omnipresent bumper music. You’ve got a good speaking voice and the content is always excellent. There is no need to have the music continually playing. It is a small detractor, even if you do lower the volume on it.
Yeah, nope. It's a great looking piece, and I love the finished tones of the movement. The deep copper look of the balance wheel is gorgeous, and the purple light you caught highlighting what's beneath was (as per usual for your photography) amazing. But I have a Red Star chronograph that I never wear anymore because the CHRONO seconds (which I rarely even use) moves, stutters and jumps, just like the one in this video, drives me freaking batty. If I can't stomach that in a P.O.S. $300 Chinese knock off, I certainly can't abide it in a four figure L.U.C. Guess I'll keep searching! Lovely video as always.
You had me at LUC being chopard’s initials and the close ups long before you had to explain the mechanical movement. N Not to say I don’t enjoy your explainations, in fact I enjoy them quite a lot. Thank you for a very informative video, now excuse me while I go look at things I can live without.
Amazing watch, beautiful dial and everything. The only things that stopps me from being able to love this, is it's size which seems to be so off for a 1937 vintage inspired model.... 42mm wtf ?! 36mm would be perfectly fine, maybe even 38... but 42?!
All due respect, would you by any chance in the future do Raymond Weil Parsifal. A know and then difference. I have 2 classic ones from the 90’s. 9190 and a 9180 quartz if I’m correct in the second model number. I enjoy your breakdown on these watches.

It's a good day when Watchfinder releases a new video.
Always loved the LUC Chopards. Thanks for highlighting them. And letting the cat outta the bag.
I guess it's not a legitimate Watchfinder video until chinchinche posts his "It's a good day..." comment.
When you said "affordable" I forgot I'm not "ritch" until you said the actual price lol
From 5:33 to 5:53 what is up with the second hand? It looks like it had one too many espressos for breakfast. It has a case of the serious jitters
That flicker looks like it has to be the frame rate of the camera.

Is that seconds hand not direct driven?
😂 I'll just stick to my collection plans thanks. 4 to 5 months wages is not a bargain.
fr, this guy needs to chill with the use of "bargain"
Great vid as usual but after doing some research, the cheapest I could find it was on the gray market for $5000. And, it's out of stock.
Keep your eyes out. They will show up second hand for cheap now and then.
I like the Roman numerals, especially the IIII at 4 O'Clock.
I’d rather wear this watch upside down. I’d dare to say it’s among the most beautiful automatics I’ve ever seen.
The seconds hand is probably fine. Probably more to do with FPS of the video versus beats per second of the watch. Most of the other videos are probably shot at a lower FPS giving it the illusion of "glide"

And that movement..!
Thanks for listening and doing a Chopard video!
Very ❤️nice review Sir 👍
I’d consider one without that awkward date window. Ruins the dial IMO.
It's actually not that bad. I've seen watches with worst date window placement where it's much higher.
Also, it would have looked a lot weirder if it was at 3 o'clock.

The seconds hand on others look smoother than this one.
Yeah, at first I thought it was a mechaquartz or perhaps a vintage 18000 beat rate to go with the heritage collection idea.
I know LUC Chopard had a rotor on there outside of the movement what is the name of watch.
Looking at used Chopards, alot of models go down as much as 60% from the price new, that is insane since they have a few really nice watches. That L.U.C cost 6500€ in Sweden so to pick it up used is a bargain.

Simple and yet beaitiful watch. A breath of fresh air in the word that we live in nowadays where it's all about the diamonds and grotesc design.
