The Beehive Chiming Table Clock

To mark the 30th anniversary of its Manufacture in Fleurier, Chopard presents the Beehive Chiming Table Clock in a limited series of 10 pieces, developed in collaboration with L’Épée 1839. Conceived as a chiming mechanical table clock and an Objet d’Art, this creation brings together horological innovation, Haute Joaillerie craftsmanship, and a powerful symbolic heritage. The beehive has been a defining emblem of Chopard since the era of founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard in the 19th century, symbolizing precision, industriousness, and collective skill. Revived in 1996 by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele alongside the creation of Chopard Manufacture, this symbol finds a new expression in this creation. Its sculptural form, crafted in borosilicate glass with gold bees, evokes the harmony of a perfectly ordered hive. The clock features rotating glass discs for the indication of hours and minutes, and a refined chiming mechanism with a glass bell gong. Three fixed bee motifs adorn the clock, symbolizing three generations of the Scheufele family. Made of 18-carat Ethical yellow gold in Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie atelier, each one is set with yellow sapphires, black and white diamonds, black spinels, and rock crystal.
