Notes

The roots of Chopard were laid in Switzerland in 1860; the brand was purchased by Karl Scheufele III in 1963. Today President of Chopard International, Karl Scheufele III was already the head of the ?EsZeHa? company, which had been founded by his grandfather Karl Scheufele I in 1904. This watch commemorates the centenary of the company.
