Fake watch - 10th Year Anniversary of Chopard Manufacture

10th Years Anniversary of Chopard Manufacture

The famous Swiss watch brand Chopard is very famous for its incredible timepieces of various shapes, designs and styles but the common thing is that they all have precision timekeeping movements created in Chopard's factories. In 2006 the Chopard Manufacture situated in Fleurier achieved ten years of its existence. During these ten years the factory was able to design five calibres. These movements, for which Chopard had spent 30 million Francs, have earned the ISO certification.

Today the factory includes more than 100 workers and continues developing new models and calibres for the market of fine watches. The LUC movements have already become popular among watch manufacturers but in the past the factory used to create movement blanks and was called "Fabrique d'ebauches de Fleurier" and it played a great role in Ebauches S.A. company.

In the beginning of the 21st century the Chopard Manufacture has an area of 3,300 sq. meters. The manufacture was bought in 2000 and later renovated and refurbished in order to create a comfortable atmosphere for creating timepieces and movements. The manufacture produces about 25,000 timepieces each year among which there are about 3,000 LUC labeled models.

From a simple factory the Chopard Manufacture developed into a big facility comprising more that 100 workers of different professions that design and turn into life the marvelous watch projects. This manufacture is responsible for perpetually maintaining the know-how of watch manufacturing. Inside young people are able to attend training courses. The future and current employees are also trained inside the house.

The Chopard manufacture is more than a factory it also plays a great role as an investor since throughout its activity in Val-de-Travers it invested over 30 million Francs and also maintained jobs in this region. In order to mark the anniversary of the facility the company inaugurated a museum the name of which is "LUCeum – Footprints of Time".

The museum illustrates the watch models of Chopard as well as other historical watches from the beginning of the 16th century and till nowadays. As the history of the brand continues the factory creates new remarkable models and vice versa – as Chopard Manufacture continues designing exclusive and marvelous watch models the company continues its story as a great watchmaker.
