Alpine Eagle

Contemporary, refined, assertive, the sporty-chic Alpine Eagle luxury watch collection was inspired by the Alps and the imperious strength of the majestic eagle.

Design

Iconic Design

Nature guides the hand of Chopard watchmakers. The Alpine Eagle Swiss watch is a symphony of exquisite details, each one inspired by the majesty of the Alps and the Eagle.

Dial

Embellished with a sunburst motif, the galvanic blue or grey brass dial inspired by the iris of an eagle reminds us that Nature is the most gifted of all muses.

Seconds hand

With its counterweight shaped like an eagle’s feather, the rhodium-plated seconds hand takes the form of an arrow.

Crown

Evoking a spirit of adventure, the crown is engraved with a compass rose, an instrument that has helped adventurers find their way since ancient times. Today, it becomes the emblem of contemporary eagles capable of choosing the right direction in the pursuit of their destiny, an invitation to explore the majesty of the natural world that surrounds us.

Bracelet

The gently tapered Alpine Eagle luxury watch bracelet comprises a single ingot-shaped link, topped by a raised central cap reminiscent of its mountain biotope. Crafted in Chopard Lucent Steel™, it is a feat of both technical execution and style.

Identity

Father and Son

Nearly 40 years ago, when Karl-Friedrich Scheufele convinced his father to produce a steel watch that would suit the sophisticated but active community of St. Moritz, an icon was born. Years ahead of its class in both form and function, the St. Moritz became the definitive sporty-chic timepiece.

Today, history has repeated itself in the most wonderful manner possible, as a generation later, father and son meet again and the Alpine Eagle is created. The modern re-invention of the St. Moritz is testament to three generations of ingenuity and expertise.

The story really started when I walked into the office of my father one day which I saw this watch and he told me it was Saint Moritz.

I went to my grandfather.

He kept on insisting, he kept on wearing the watch.

Morris watch, which I must admit fits very well into it, into its time again today.


1:48

The easy way was never really the Shapar way.

The rebirth of a Swiss watch icon

What once was lives again. The spirit of the St. Moritz watch lives on in the Alpine Eagle. When it was the first introduced in 1980, the St. Moritz stood out for both its material classification and unique design.

The Alpine Eagle is the culmination of three generations of daring and expertise.
