  • Catalogue Essay

    Making its debut in 2019, the Chopard Alpine Eagle is the firm’s newest take on their luxury sports watch line. Since the firm’s acquisition by the Scheufele’s in 1963, the watchmaking division has since been led by Chopard’s co-president, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, while his sister Caroline Scheufele is a powerhouse of the jewellery arm of the firm responsible for creating some of the most important jewellery for Hollywood icons for the Cannes Film Festival.

    The Alpine Eagle was first introduced in stainless steel with a robust design featuring an integrated bracelet with an angular case and a rounded bezel with eight naked screws. The appeal is with no doubt a familiar face as seen in other luxury sports watches manufactured by other firms. However, what truly separates the Alpine Eagle is its mesmerising galvanised Aletsch blue sunburst dial inspired by an eagle's eye. Elevating its charm, the dial features luminous-filled applied gold Roman numerals that contrasts perfectly against the ocean blue backdrop.

    Offered in “brand new” condition with no signs of use and wear, the present handsome Chopard Alpine Eagle in pink gold with a blue dial is an excellent timepiece to sport during a casual weekend.

    Proceeds of the sale will be donated to a Turkish Charity Foundation that supports the victims of the Turkish earthquake in 2023.

  • Artist Biography

    Chopard

    Swiss • 1860

    At the age of 24, Louis-Ulysse Chopard started his company L.U.C. Chopard in Sonviller, Switzerland. Since the brand's inception in 1860, Chopard understood the need for thin and accurate pocket watches to be functional for daily wear. The brand gained world recognition in 1912 after Tsar Nicolas II became a client.

    Following Louis-Ulysse's death in 1915, his sons Paul-Louis and Paul André took over the business and moved their headquarters to La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1963, the company was taken over by Karl Scheufele, who remains the brand's owner. Arguably Chopard's most recognizable design, the "Happy" line, was inspired by Scheufele's daughter Caroline. In 1996, his son Karl-Friedrich established Chopard as a manufacturer of its own range of in-house movements under the name L.U.C., creating groundbreaking, exquisitely finished watches that have earned the brand worldwide acclaim.
