Inside The Manufacture: A Two-Day Visit To Chopard
Chopard is one of the few brands out there that can boast both being independent and having a storied history, but many watch enthusiasts don't realize that Chopard is producing truly in-house movements to an extremely high level in the hills of Fleurier while also making its own cases and smelting its own gold back in Geneva. There are actually three facilities across Switzerland that make up the Chopard manufacture family and here we take you on a tour through all three. 2 OF 65 We'll start with the most exciting of the trio, Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier. This is the main production facility for the L.U.C family of watches, and it first opened in 1996. Since then, Chopard has grown the manufacture from a pair of watchmakers to a team of over 130 people, but they have decided not to expand the facility further, keeping the production numbers for L.U.C tight and the quality of the work high. 3 OF 65 As with almost any manufacture, the process of

DD40 - What��s the max wrist size on a stock bracelet without adding links?
Quick question that a many of you may know off the top of your head:What is the max wrist size that a stock DD40 bracelet can handle (comfortably) without having to buy extra links?I'm a 7.5 wrist normally. I tried on a fully linked DD40 last night and the watch was fairly snug. This was at an AD down in the Bahamas, at the end of a long hot day, so my wrist size was swelled bigger than normal. I'm thinking I would be fine with a stock size bracelet but wanted some feedback.I had never considered needing to add links to the president bracelet (thinking they came bigger) as I usually take one link out of a glidelock and on a Daytona I'm fully linked with the clasp micro adjustments on the inner/tightest slot.Thanks
