Is it worth investing in Chopard watches?
"High-quality stones can be a better investment than stocks", Caroline Scheufele (Co-CEO of Chopard) literally said in an interview. With this statement she is right and it becomes all the more understandable that Chopard is not only extremely popular with collectors. This popularity is also reflected in the figures and Chopard was able to complete the year 2017 very successfully with a growth of more than 10% According to the CEO of Chopard, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, the numbers will continue to rise and the prices of the watches will adjust. More models between 5,000 to 15,000 euros are just waiting to be released he promised. What does that mean for
used Chopard watches? Both of these, but especially the
vintage Chopard models are becoming increasingly rare - and are in good condition barely on the market.
A tradition of over 150 years
The company Chopard was created in 1860 by the master watchmaker Louis-Ulysse Chopard, who lived in the small Swiss village Sonvilie. Through hard work, he managed to outperform the quality of his competitors and extend his clientele to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. After a few decades, his company was so established that it even supplied a watch to the Russian Tsar Nicolas II. After Louis-Ulysse died in 1915, his son Paul-Louis took over the company and focused on the
production of elegant pocket and women's watches that became world-famous. The business was excellent, and so the company was relocated in 1937 with major expansion plans in the watchmaker city of Geneva.
20 years later, the biggest change in Chopard's history took place. Paul-André Chopard, grandson of Louis-Ulysse, decided to retire and handed over the company. Since none of his sons wanted to take over, he went in search of a buyer. Finally he met the Swabian entrepreneur Karl Scheufele III. which itself came from a traditional family of watchmakers. His grandfather was the founder of the successful watch brand "Eszeha", which his grandson had run for several years. After a brief conversation, Chopard decided to place his family business in the hands of Scheufele. A new heyday followed: with a lot of creativity and a series of highly original models, the new managing director managed to refresh the traditional brand and position it again among the big names in the Swiss watch industry.
The name Chopard is also closely linked to motorsport. In 1988 Scheufele got to know the racing icon Jacky Ickx and took part in the legendary classic car race "Mille Miglia". In the same year Chopard became official timekeeper and sponsor of the race. In homage to the Mille Miglia, Chopard created the Mille Miglia Classic and Mille Miglia GTS, which are based on the design of the participating cars. Chopard continues to show his sporting spirit by designing a limited edition edition for the Mille Miglia every year.
Even in the exclusive fields of Haute Horlogerie, Chopard was able to position itself by increasing the vertical range of its production. In 1996, a factory was opened in the Swiss watchmaking town of Fleurier, where the company has since been producing its own calibres. These are very well recognized among connoisseurs because they are exceptionally fine and certified according to the accuracy standards of the "Fondation Qualité Fleurier". The "FQF" is a joint project of Chopard, Parmigiani, Bovet and Vaucher. By self-imposed, even stricter standards than the CSOC certification, watches that pass these tests have become even more exclusive. In 2003, Chopard even created a version with tourbillon, one of the most complex and hard to produce complications ever.
The brand's philosophy
Chopard's philosophy also has its roots in the company's history. Pragmatically, innovation is combined with respect for tradition and entrepreneurial courage with creativity. The passions of the family members shape the divisions of the company. Whether it's supporting events such as the Cannes Film Festival or the Mille Miglia racing event, or constantly improving precision and production standards. The company's independence provides the necessary security and freedom for all these activities.
From Banderas to Cooper: Stars who wear Chopard
Chopard has now established itself in the league of major watch manufacturers, and so it is no wonder that celebrities like to see themselves with watches from the Swiss manufacturer. For example, Antonio Banderas owns a
Mille Miglia, while Matthew McConaughey and Bradley Cooper have been spotted with
LUC versions. Sir Elton John even designed a limited special edition of the Mille Miglia with colorful mother-of-pearl dials.
The handmade jewelry by Chopard is always prominently represented at major events such as the Oscars or the Cannes Film Festival and can be seen in numerous actresses from Penelope Cruz to Cate Blanchett.
