Description
With its pure, stylised silhouette, the IMPERIALE watch collection offers a contemporary interpretation of the great symbols of historical empires. The arabesque motifs drawn from the embroidery of the draperies on which monarchs placed their insignia, openwork sword-shaped hands, Roman hour-markers and a crown curved like a lotus flower all evoke a glorious heritage, while the shape of the lugs recalls the tradition of ancient columns famed for their perfectly balanced proportions. A tribute to modern achievers

Movement
Entirely developed, produced and assembled in the Chopard watchmaking workshops, the self-winding mechanical movement Chopard 96.17-C beats to a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and possesses a 65-hour power reserve thanks to Twin technology, a patented Chopard technology combining two coaxial barrels that represents a particularly remarkable technical feat in light of the extreme slenderness of its 3.3 mm-thick movement. It shows the hours and minutes at the center with the precision and elegance that characterise Chopard.
