The result of more than six years' work totalling 17,000 hours of development, this chiming watch equipped with a monobloc sapphire gong/crystal system was acclaimed the following year by the "Aiguille d'Or" best-in-show award at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève.   Today, Chopard workshops are once again demonstrating their genius through a trilogy of new creations testifying to their perfect expertise in the field of chiming watches.
