The Laings Journal
Contemporary, refined, and assertive, the Chopard Alpine Eagle was inspired by the Alps and the imperious strength of the majestic eagle. Finding exceptionality in its movement and fine details, the collection is a testament to the excellence of Chopard watchmaking and beauty of our earth.
Testament to Swiss Luxury
Chopard’s artisans are masters of their crafts and their expertise, driven by passion, shine through in every brilliant detail. A herald to its namesake the Alpine Eagle takes inspiration from the beauty of the mountains and the greatness of its wildlife. The Maison showcases delicate intricacy in its textured dial that evokes an eagle’s iris, with hands that call to mind the raptor’s feathers. The gently tapered bracelet comprises a single ingot-shaped link, topped by a raised central cap that is additionally reminiscent of its mountain biotope. Special care was taken to ensure that the material used to craft this collection was not only refined but extremely high-performance seeing Chopard’s Lucent Steel AA23 used across the assembly for a uniquely durable, antiallergenic, and scratch-resistant offering.
A continuum of Chopard’s devotion to fine watchmaking, the beating heart of the Alpine Eagle, is found in its movements. Exclusively developed in Chopard’s watchmaking workshops and chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute, four automatic calibres grace the collection with varying characteristics and styles.
A Commitment to Making a Mountain of Difference
Nature guides the hand of Chopard watchmakers, and a true testament to the Maison’s ethical approach is its latest commitment to protecting the Alpine environment, through the launch of the Alpine Eagle Foundation – of which Chopard’s Karl Friedrich Scheufele is a founding member. Started in 2021 with the aim of reintroducing the white tailed eagle into its natural habitat, the foundation is committed to the goal of preserving the mountain range in all of its areas: as an essential environment, a place of life, a natural base for wild species, a home to vital glaciers and lakes as well as the source of great rivers such as the Rhône, the Rhine and the Po.
