Chopard Alpine Eagle Series Designed by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele

Chopard’s Alpine Eagle collection, designed by the current Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, reflects his passion for the Alps and admiration for the eagle. The new collection, named after the “Alpine Eagle,” is a tribute to both the mountain range and its majestic bird. The series features the 01.01-C automatic mechanical movement with a diameter of 41mm, featuring a sun pattern on the dial inspired by the iris of an eagle’s eye. The hour and minute hands are designed in a bar shape, with a gold arrowhead tip for the second hand adorned with an eagle feather-shaped counterweight. The watch case is designed in a streamlined round shape with a polished finish; the bezel is embellished with 8 screws placed at the four cardinal points; the watch case sides present a three-dimensional contour to protect the crown; the crown features an engraved compass rose, symbolizing the “eagle’s” choice of the correct direction. The most remarkable aspect of the watch is its exclusive Lucent Steel A223 stainless steel, which boasts low sensitization, abrasion resistance, and reflective properties.
