Alpine Eagle

The second mode was the first sports watch of Chopper.

It was just when my son started in the factory, I tried to convince my father in particular to launch this watch which was made of steel and which would be something totally different to what we have done so far.

Until then we made we produced only ladies and gentlemen watches in gold.

0:37

We had a lot of challenges.

The watch was presented in battle 19180.

0:43

It was a success for more than 25 years.

This watch was had a very special look and from far you could identify this is Chopin this is Alpine Eagle.

Today the the project is very similar.

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.

1:13

It began with my son who trying to convince me to re edit a sports watch similar to Saint Moritz.

1:24

I think with a revamp it could really become an icon of the Maison Shapa.

1:29

I brought the idea to my father.

1:30

I went to my grandfather.

1:31

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

1:35

Then he convinced me to to think about relaunching this St.

1:41

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.

1:51

I'd say it was a good challenge to bring them back to the submarines and make what is now the Alpen Eagle.

Working on this project is is quite unique in in the industry because we'd have 3 generations working together on on one project and to see that all three of us have a passion for the watch.
