Watchmaking literature mentions a patent filed by Karl Scheufele I, the founder of Eszeha, the original Scheufele family company, who is today the proud owner of Chopard. The patent is about a 1912 ingenious system allowing a pocket-watch to be worn on the wrist.
The 2010 limited edition version of this innovative watch "enshrines a century and a half of Chopard's horological heritage" and is obviously both a pocket-watch and a wristwatch, a fitting tribute to Louis-Ulyssse from the Chopard watchmaking family.
