CHOPARD DUAL TIME “KUTCHINSKY” REF. 2087
Kutchinsky is a renowned jewelry brand with a rich history. It was founded by Hirsch Kutchinsky, who fled Poland in 1893 and settled in London, England. The family business originally started in the East End of London before moving to Knightsbridge. In the late 20th century, the brand was acquired by other luxury jewelry companies, but the Kutchinsky name continues to be synonymous with exceptional quality and design. Over the years, Kutchinsky has designed and created numerous jewelry pieces that remain highly sought after by collectors. Kutchinsky is regarded as one of the greatest jewelry names in London throughout the 20th century. Something that not many know is that Kutchinsky also collaborated with watch brands such as Chopard. One notable result of this collaboration is the double signed Chopard Kutchinsky timepiece.
The present Chopard is a very rare and exquisite watch from the 1980s, which resulted from a col-laboration between Chopard and the London jeweler Kutchinsky. The case back is indeed double signed with the prestigious London jeweler. This watch features a very rare double time zone complication. The dial is divided into two sectors with local and home time indications. Inside the watch, two separate Chopard signed calibers operate independently to power the two different time zones on the watch dial. The overall condition is stunning, with deep gold hallmarks, a most likely untouched case, and a mint dial with no signs of aging. Additionally, the two calibers work flawlessly.
Year 1980s, Serial Number 1151XXX, measures 22×36.
