Alpine Eagle 41 XP

TIMEFORART 2026

Nature is the greatest Artisan

Created exclusively for TimeForArt 2026, this one-of-a-kind watch illustrates Chopard’s ability to explore new forms of expression within its established collections. Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele sums it up well, saying:


“TimeForArt offers us a unique platform to explore the dialogue between horology and artistic expression. With this one-of-a-kind Alpine Eagle, we wanted to go beyond the traditional codes of the collection, transforming the dial into a true work of art.”

All in the details

The Alpine Eagle 41 XP TimeForArt 2026 Edition showcases Chopard’s mastery of Artistic crafts while remaining faithful to the contemporary elegance and technical refinement that define the emblematic Alpine Eagle collection.

A Hand-Engraved Dial Inspired by an Eagle’s Wing

At the heart of this Alpine Eagle 41 XP model lies a hand-engraved gold dial. Adorned with a motif depicting the movement of an eagle's wing in full flight, its plumage takes shape through a meticulously sculpted bas-relief carved into white gold, creating a remarkable sense of volume and depth.

The third edition of TimeForArt

Every two years, TimeForArt provides an exceptional opportunity for Chopard to showcase the full extent of its artistic genius through a one-of-a-kind timepiece.

Artistic Crafts

A straw marquetry dial

The dial of this one-of-a-kind model is graced with straw marquetry. Created by a decoration Artisan from the Manufacture specially trained in this 17th-century technique, this masterpiece is a first for Chopard, which has never before presented a dial of this kind on its watches. Using a scalpel, the straw is cut and subsequently glued to the dial in an intricate pattern owing everything to the Artisan’s dexterity. The composition combines strands of different sizes, thicknesses and shades, while its graphic lines evoke an eagle’s eye view in full flight over the skyscrapers of New York – the city where the TimeForArt auction is to be held.

The sleek lines of an Alpine Eagle XP

The Alpine Eagle 41 XP model is endowed with pure, sleek lines and harmonious proportions. Measuring 41 millimetres in diameter and just eight millimetres thick, its case, featuring a slimmed-down bezel and sides, provides a wide opening onto the dial. The case and the bracelet are crafted from Lucent Steel™, an innovative steel alloy made with an 80% recycling rate, developed by Chopard for its anti-allergenic virtues, robustness and incomparable brilliance obtained through a meticulous resmelting process.

A mechanical performance

L.U.C Calibre 96.17-L

The thinness of the case is made possible by the use of the in-house L.U.C 96.17-L movement measuring just 3.30 mm thick. This self-winding movement is equipped with a 22-carat off-centre micro-rotor incorporated into the thickness of the calibre. Its high inertia enables it to wind the two stacked barrels of Chopard Twin technology, which store the energy needed to give the Alpine Eagle 41 XP Time For Art a total 65-hour power reserve.
