When it comes to watchmaking, Chopard has always led in an unparalleled way bringing special technicalities together with high jewelry aesthetics. For this year’s edition of Watches & Wonders, Geneva witnessed another Chopard outburst of creativity, exquisiteness, and refinement. Releasing new marvels to admire, many were the pieces and jewelry creations that took our breath away.
The Alpine Eagle collection welcomed a new ultra-thin timepiece, “Alpine Eagle 41 XP TT”, with full visibility across the entire intricate mechanical workings of L.U.C Calibre 96.17-S. This movement with a mere 3.30 millimeters thickness and the 41 mm-diameter titanium case showcase the finest expertise and innovation cultivated within Chopard Manufacture. Modern with an undeniably technical character, it remains faithful to the collection's sporty look.
The first in the Full Strike family to feature a dial whose verdigris shade has been subtly enhanced by meticulous finishing, the new L.U.C Full Strike combines technical innovation with bold styling through its certified chronometer issued in an exclusive 20-piece edition. The use of ceramicised titanium for this new model represents a new feat in Chopard Manufacture's art of fitting its exceptional minute repeater movement inside a case whose material in no way alters the purity of the sound.
When it comes to jewelry watches from the world of Haute Joaillerie, their beauty comes before anything else. This special edition, with its mother-of-pearl dial and shiny diamonds, comes in a second version completed with blue sapphires that definitely add to its charm. A three-way conversation between Nature, Haute Joaillerie, and Haute Couture, it sculpts the allure of contemporary women.
