Comparing Chopard VS Bvlgari in terms of watchmaking is a touchy subject. There are groups of people that show favoritism to each of these brands in terms of their advances in watchmaking. Both brands also have some highly popular collections of watches for men and women. For your convenience, you can browse their various collections using the buttons below or read more.
For ladies’ watches, Chopard has made some highly popular collections. Two collections that are worthy of an honorable mention are the Happy Sport and Happy Diamonds. These two collections featured a unique design characteristic where in which “floating” diamonds or colored gems danced freely around the dial as you moved your wrist.
For men’s who sells the best replica watches, Chopard has been making strides in increasing the power reserves on their watches by stacking multiple barrels. They call this L.U.C. Twin Technology and it can be seen it the Chopard L.U.C. collection. Additionally, Chopard’s COSC certified Mille Miglia, a collection of column-wheel chronograph watches has the prestigious Chronometer designation attesting to their great precision of -4/+6 seconds per day. Their classic and smooth design is reminiscent of the classic car racing that inspired the collection.
We haven’t seen too many high-complication watches coming from Chopard yet but are looking forward to seeing where they will go from here.
For the ladies, BVLGARI has shown some incredible design and ingenuity with very bold designs. Statement pieces such as the BVLGARI Serpenti watches have been a non-stop hit since the 1940s with its serpentine coiled bracelets that wrap around the wrist usually more than once. This collection has grown over the years and Bulgari continues to outdo themselves with more innovative designs that cater to a larger audience while at the same time, keeping the prestige of this collection at a maximum.
Let’s be frank, watchmaking is a very different craft than jewelry making. One that takes a whole new level of science, math, physics, creativity, and brilliance in engineering to master and really shine in the overall watch market. Seeing as both Bulgari and Chopard are luxury jewelers first and luxury watchmakers second, how do they compare on the latter? In addition to horology, how do they compare on other levels?

Overview
Both Chopard and Bulgari have made great strides in watchmaking since their debut in the business. They are similar in many ways, such as their unique designs, their innovative approach to the business, and their rapid expansion into owning their own manufactures in Switzerland where they can produce in-house movements.
Both Bvlgari and Chopard are well-known brands and household names. Each of them managed to sneak their watches into some blockbuster films for some strategic product placement, some tactfully like Bulgari’s Diagono who sells the best replica watches appearing on the wrist of the character Tony Stark in the Ironman movie, and some not so under-the-radar such as Chopard’s very obvious product placement in Netflix’s 6 Underground. Either way that you look at it, their “stock” has been going up in the public’s image of their watchmaking in the past few decades.
Brand Value
According to a recent study by Interbrand, a brand valuation agency, Chopard also made it to a top 50 most valuable Swiss brands list at position #23 (in all industries) which translates to #4 from the Swiss watchmakers included on the same list. They have an estimated brand value of 1.98 Billion CHF (Swiss Francs)[1].
Bvlgari wasn’t on the Top 50 Swiss brands list from Interbrand but according to a recent study by Statista, Bvlgari has an estimated brand value of 4.281 Billion Euros in the 4th quarter of 2018.[2]
The percentage of this value that can be attributed to the watch division of their business has not been calculated in these studies. Some things are probably best-kept a secret.
