Leading Chopard’s lineup for Watches & Wonders this year are new additions to the Alpine Eagle series, two reissued L.U.C models, as well as the automotive-inspired Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph in an array of colors.

Alpine Eagle 41 XPS

Expanding Chopard’s sporty-chic Alpine Eagle range is this whole-new watch featuring an ultra-thin body with small seconds indication. It measures just 3.3mm in thickness, while still housing the incredible mechanical L.U.C 96.40-L movement that boasts chronometer-certified accuracy and 65 hours of power reserve. The new time-teller is crafted from the Maison’s exclusive Lucent Steel™ for remarkable shine and resistance, while a Poinçon de Genève certified “Monte Rosa Pink” dial elegantly adorns the watch face.

Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF

Amalgamating style, precision, and sportiness, the Cadence 8HF is the second high-frequency model from the Alpine Eagle lineup. Its 41mm case and tapering bracelet are both made of grade 5 titanium, which bestows the timepiece robustness while also being incredibly light to wear on the wrists. It’s equipped with Chopard’s chronometer-certified 01.12-C calibre, which beats at 47,600 vibrations per hour. The dial is doused in a pitch black that draws inspiration from the intense darkness of nighttime in the mountains. This is further accentuated with an allover “eagle iris” pattern that nods to the collection’s inspiration. On top of that, a bright orange arrow-shaped sweep-seconds hand and feather-shaped counterweight offer a vivid touch to the dark dial.

L.U.C 1860

Now crafted in Chopard’s own Lucent Steel™ with an elegant salmon-colored guilloché gold dial, the reissued L.U.C 1860 watch is a manifestation of the Maison’s respect for tradition, as well as passion for innovation. Beating inside this elegant piece is the L.U.C 96.40-L mechanical self-winding movement with up to 60 hours of power reserve. The timepiece is paired with an anthracite gray calfskin leather skin, complete with tonal stitching and a matching pin buckle that’s also made of Lucent Steel™.

L.U.C 1963 Heritage Chronograph

Releasing as a 25-piece limited edition, the L.U.C 1963 Heritage Chronograph comes attired in a 42mm Lucent Steel™ case. Its sunburst dial is doused in a muted green hue, which is paired with rhodium-plated hands and transferred indices for a sophisticated contrast. Inside, the chronograph is powered by the mechanical hand-wound L.U.C 03.07-L movement, complete with a column wheel, a vertical coupling clutch, and most importantly, a flyback chronograph function. To match the dial, the time-teller is accompanied by a brown calfskin strap incorporated with green lining and stitch details.

Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph

Drawing inspiration from automotive bodywork, this chronograph is the latest addition to Chopard’s Mille Miglia collection. Also made of Lucent Steel™, it adopts a slim 40.5mm case size and is outfitted with a glass-box and glare-proofed sapphire crystal. Running on a mechanical self-winding chronograph movement, the piece boasts up to 54 hours of power reserve, with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. A selection of color options are offered, ranging from the light green Verde Chiaro, cherry red Rosso Amrena, and racing black Nero Corsa, to the grayish Grigio-Blue. Tying in with its automotive influences, the accompanying rubber straps come in a ribbed pattern that references Dunlop racing tires from the ‘60s.
