Like you, I do not usually go Technicolor ® for my watch dials.

Speculation about barenia leather choice at Chopard

 
 By: MTF : November 28th, 2014-04:50
Someone has asked about barenia leather and reasons for choosing it at Chopard. I'm only speculating but decisions are made at Chopard from the head and the heart. It's a family firm, so they are allowed to do so. Many of the Chopard design thema have som...

The strap and the bracelet, a week or so ago. They wear very differently to each other, but I love both for the colour. Really do stand out nicely Cheers, and Happy New Year to all Tim

....really pops up against the black and steel grey dial. Obviously, I preferred the vintage 1960s style of perforated leather strap. I was "practising" before the LUC 1963 Chronograph PuristS' Edition arrived. :-) Regards, MTF
