Notes

Produced in a limited edition in two versions: classic or "Poinçon de Genève". 1,860 examples of each series were created to commemorate the founding of the House in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard.If the watch is worn two complete days, it accumulates power for 65 hours. Otherwise, 12 hours of wear give it 12 hours autonomy.
