Chopard Continues Their Silent Climb To The Summit Of Watchmaking

Once again, Chopard has dropped the mic at Watches & Wonders, with fifteen releases that continue to push the boundaries of contemporary watchmaking in 2025. For this overview, the focus will be on the male (and unisex) releases – a suite of refined Alpine Eagle and L.U.C, as well as novelties that highlight the Maison’s mechanical ingenuity, adventurous independent spirit, and its legitimacy in haute horology.

Alpine Eagle 41 SL Cadence 8HF

The Alpine Eagle 41 SL Cadence 8HF, crafted in ceramicised titanium, is the brand’s lightest model yet. But unfortunately for high-frequency titanium fans, it’ll be limited to just 250 pieces, which is devastating because on rubber, it’s a peerless lifestyle accoutrement.

The 41mm case houses the chronometre-certified 01.14-C high-frequency movement, featuring a mainplate and bridges also made from this ultra-resistant material; bead-blasted to match the case, bezel, and crown. A black titanium dial and indices are punctuated by vivid orange accents, including Chopard’s high-frequency logo.

With a 60-hour power reserve and a silicon escapement tailored for efficiency, the 41 SL Cadence 8HF showcases Chopard’s relentless pursuit of innovation and intent. RRP $40,900.

Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS

For the first time, Chopard’s Alpine Eagle collection welcomes a platinum interpretation with the Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS.

Its ultra-thin 41mm case and newly sculpted bracelet are crafted from 950 platinum, framing a ‘Shades of Ice’ blue dial which sings without being impeded by the Alpine Eagle’s traditional Roman numerals. Powered by the chronometer-certified L.U.C 96.42-L calibre, with a platinum micro-rotor and 65-hour reserve, it carries both COSC and Poinçon de Genève certifications. A new (but historical) bee hallmark marks this rare material.

On the wrist, it is nothing short of breathtaking – a full body experience that gives you power and respect. RRP $181,000.

Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon

The Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon in steel gets a “Rhône Blue” glow up for 2025, following the navy iteration from 2023.

Powered by the ultra-thin L.U.C 96.24-L calibre, it features a flying tourbillon visible at six o’clock on a textured light blue dial, inspired by Alpine waterways. Certified by both the COSC and the Poinçon de Genève, the 41mm timepiece combines high complication with a slim 8mm profile. A micro-rotor in 22-carat gold and dual barrels deliver a 65-hour reserve.

A captivating tourbillon set beneath an equally captivating dial. RRP $207,000.

Alpine Eagle 33

The Alpine Eagle collection expands with an impressively scaled 33mm model that debuts an elegant blend of Lucent Steel and ethical yellow gold.

The shimmering “Vals Grey” dial draws inspiration from alpine stone, its surface textured and punctuated by diamond-set markers and gilded hands. A diamond-set bezel frames the composition with quiet luxury. Beneath the resplendent dial, the 09.01-C self-winding movement delivers a 42-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire case-back. Certified by the COSC, this calibre is crafted from 159 components.

Compact but precise. RRP $36,900.

Alpine Eagle Frozen Topaz Blue

Continuing at 33mm, the Alpine Eagle Frozen Topaz Blue unites high watchmaking with exceptional gem-setting, reflecting the Maison’s deep heritage in jewellery.

Crafted from ethical 18-carat gold, its case, dial, and bracelet are fully diamond-set; while the bezel features a gradient of baguette-cut blue topazes, echoing glacial frost. At its core is the same COSC-certified 09.01-C self-winding movement as the aforementioned 33. RRP $POA.

L.U.C Full Strike Revelation

The L.U.C Full Strike Revelation returns in ethical 18-carat yellow gold, housing the groundbreaking L.U.C 08.01-L calibre with monobloc sapphire gongs.

Visible through a transparent sapphire dial, the COSC-certified movement also bears the Poinçon de Genève hallmark – a rare double distinction. The 42.5mm case allows the purity of the chime to resonate unaltered, while the watch’s dual-barrel architecture enables it to strike 12:59 up to 12 times on a single wind.

A showcase of mechanical innovation and acoustic mastery, limited to just 20 pieces. RRP $499,000.

L.U.C Heritage EHG Moon 122

To mark the 200th anniversary of the Geneva School of Watchmaking, Chopard unveils the L.U.C Heritage EHG Moon 122 in ethical rose gold, limited to 20 pieces.

Powered by the new L.U.C 63.04-L manual movement, it features an astronomical moonphase requiring adjustment just once every 122 years. The aventurine dial, scattered with constellations, evokes a northern night sky, while the Poinçon de Genève and COSC certifications affirm both craftsmanship and accuracy.

Developed in partnership with EHG, this piece honours Chopard’s commitment to preserving horological expertise. RRP $148,500.

L.U.C Quattro – Mark IV

To mark 25 years of Chopard’s Quattro technology, the L.U.C Quattro – Mark IV debuts in platinum and ethical rose gold with a refined 39mm case, with luminous sky-blue and navy dial, respectively.

Powered by the hand-wound L.U.C 98.09-L calibre, its four stacked barrels contain 1.885 metres of springs delivering a remarkable nine-day power reserve with chronometer-certified precision and Geneva seal. The updated layout removes the power-reserve indicator from the dial for a cleaner aesthetic, now visible through the caseback.

The Platinum model engraved bee hallmark (to indicate the maison’s Platinum pieces) is limited to 20 pieces, while the rose-gold is a boutique exclusive. RRP $78,500 (left), RRP $63,000 (right).

L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 – Straw Marquetry Edition

Chopard elevates its jumping-hour complication with the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 – Straw Marquetry Edition, an eight-piece limited series in ethical rose gold.

Powered by the L.U.C 98.06-L calibre, it offers an eight-day power reserve from four stacked barrels. The highlight is a hand-crafted dial in straw marquetry, composed of individually cut rye strands forming a painstakingly detailed honeycomb motif – a symbol of Chopard’s collaborative spirit.

A jumping hour display at six o’clock ensures clarity and rhythm, while the Poinçon de Genève attests to the finishing throughout. Precision, innovation, and craft meet in a timepiece as rare as the technique itself. RRP $112,500.
