onzenuub Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 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.

PowerShot Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 What a wonderful movement here!!! I've seen it yesterday on the net but didn't seen anything talking about witch watchmaker school was it. Did any one find anything? A excellent job for a beautiful timepiece here!

NORing Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Makes me think of taking my late grandfathers old pocketwatch to the workbench;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brbryfan Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Wow, that is a gorgeous piece. Very innovative, too. I used to use a pocketwatch, chain and all. A wristwatch is much more convienent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
