    Hi All

    Asking a very basic question.

    What is the difference between Chopard and LU Chopard. I understand that LU Chopard is a part of Chopard but why the difference in brand name?

    Thanks in advance for all your guidance!

    The LUC watches are the higher end products from Chopard. LUC coming from the name of the founder...Louis-Ulysse Chopard. These are in contrast to the "Happy Diamonds" ladies quartz, Mille Miglia watches, etc. These are very good quality watches.

    Here is the factory in Fleurier:

    Worth a visit to the region if you ever get the chance...
