La Chronom��trie Ferdinand Berthoud Will Be New Luxury Watch Brand From Chopard In 2014
Chopard has just announced that it will debut a new luxury watch brand under its corporate guidance and ownership in 2014 celebrating the work of historic Swiss watchmaker Ferdinand Berthoud. Technically a new and distinct company, the new brand will be located in Fleurier near Chopard in the Val-de-Travers canton of Switzerland. The new brand will officially be called La Chronom��trie Ferdinand Berthoud, and is reportedly located just a few miles from where Berthoud himself was born in 1727.Ferdinand Berthoud was a contemporary of Abraham-Louis Breguet.

Here it is - Speedmaster Professional 3572.50

Any help is much appreciated!Here it is;Cheers guys. Ben.

Help from members who have ref 5070s
Guys I need some help please, can those of you who own the reference 5070 (mainly G and R) do me a favor? I'm curious what booklets came with the watch. I know there's a specific 5070 booklet which is thin, but I'm wondering if there was an additional booklet titled manual winding movements which lists the CH27-70 movement or not. I would love to see pics of what you have.Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

My favourite watch.
I'm very lucky to have some wonderful watches in my collection but the Noir is my favourite. So glad I found it.

Problem with New Oyster Perpetual 39mm
Hi everyone. I purchased a new OP-39 with the dark rhodium dial last week, and I am already having a major problem: I can't bring myself to take the thing off.
