After visiting Fleurier, Angus Davies traveled to Meyrin, a suburb of Geneva, to evaluate Chopard's Alpine Eagle creations. He talks about the making of model cases and luxury bracelets and the assembly of the final watch.
After spending some time at the Fleurier Ebauches factory (where Caliber Chopard 01.01-C and Calibre Chopard 09.01-C are located), my host and I left the Val-de-Travers district, a quaint area where polite evidence and life A ticking andante beat.
We joined the A5 near Yverdon before heading to Geneva. Geneva, Switzerland's second largest city, is located at the southern tip of Lake Leman, surrounded by the Alps and the Jura Mountains.
The city exudes sophistication. Countless boutiques, a dazzling array of luxury goods, are next to neat streets. Chopard calls the famous city "home" and its headquarters are located on the outskirts of Merlin. It is within Chopard's various architectural ranges that fine jewelry creations and fine watches come to life. In fact, it is here that each movement becomes a complete Alpine Eagle watch, destined to delight its owner.
