I still don't have the price in this press release! ARGHH! Why are journalists the last to know sometimes??
Chopard Watches and Wonders 2023. A new Alpine Eagle 41 XPS.
41 mm steel case which they call " Lucent Steel " because it is ultra resistant and light reflecting, according to the press release. A spectacular rose dial which received a galvanic treatment, which, divine surprise, doesn't feature a date! Water resist...
Now, THIS is the Alpine Eagle that I am truly tempted to consider
I like "no date", and the new dial design with small seconds makes it look more elegrant/luxurious in my eyes. Very nice indeed,. The the salmon (rosa pink) dial looks terrific, at least in the pics.
I can’t wait to see it live. Looks good on pics.
Nico, is it up there with the best regarding finishing etc?
Looks beautiful! And equally importantly, will feel amazing on the wrist.
I have tried on the thin tourbillon, and this I believe is the same case and (non tourbillon) movement - without the hole in the dial, what's not to like!
Good looking dial and a beautiful movement.
Not sure if the clasp mechanism is smoother on this new model.
Is this basically a LUC model now?
This seems (to a novice like me) to be the LUC micro rotor... does that make this basically a LUC alpine eagle? I am guessing this explains the increase from ~14k usd to ~22k?
This Chopard is one of this year's winners...
This one and the Chopard 1860 36mm LUC Movement, the IWC Ingeniur, and the Van Cleef & Arpels Automatons are the winners of this year's show.
I didn't like the aged metal case. But that's just me personally. The movement is great. Not sure about the fluted bezel.
Wonderful movement. Nothing better than that movement!
Oh! Those! The TIMEKEEPERs.
Hmm. The bezel looks kind of larger than the ideal proportion on those. But might have to see those in person to make a final verdict.
