A Father’s Role Is Never One-Dimensional — Steadfast Wisdom, Decisive Agility, or Boundless Energy. Whatever the Character, Their Deep Love Is Expressed Through Unspoken Actions. This Father’s Day, Chopard Honors Fathers with the Distinctive Alpine Eagle Classic Men’s Watch — a Timeless Tribute to Life’s Strongest Pillar.
The Alpine Eagle collection embodies the spirit of father-son legacy. When first launched in 2019, this watch reinterpreted the groundbreaking St. Moritz sports watch introduced in 1980 by current Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele. Drawing inspiration from the sharp and steadfast vision of the Alps and the eagle’s eye, it is the product of three generations of the Scheufele watchmaking family — blending innovative technology with elegant craftsmanship to set a standard in luxury sports watches.
The Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS platinum timepiece features a platinum case and integrated metal bracelet — known as the “king of precious metals.” Its glacier blue dial, inspired by Alpine glaciers, boasts a gradient from light to deep blue, capturing nature’s majesty on the wrist. Powered by the ultra-thin L.U.C 96.42-L automatic movement with Geneva Seal certification, the watch houses a platinum micro-rotor, offering a 65-hour power reserve and 100-meter water resistance — a perfect harmony of precision, durability, and elegance.
For the more sporty father, the 44mm Alpine Eagle XL Chrono Flyback chronograph is driven by Chopard’s in-house 03.05-C automatic movement, featuring a flyback function, column wheel, and vertical clutch system for precise and stable timing. Certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC), it is one of the few chronograph calibers boasting three patents. Crafted in patented Lucent Steel™ stainless steel — a hypoallergenic material that shines brighter and is harder than conventional steel — it pairs a sporty rubber strap with a dual-tone Aletsch blue and deep black dial. The design evokes the grandeur of the Alps, enhanced by an arrow-shaped seconds hand and raised chronograph counters, delivering eagle-eye sharp legibility.
For fathers who appreciate mechanical mastery, the Alpine Eagle Cadence 8HF impresses with its rare 8 Hz high-frequency movement, beating at 57,600 vibrations per hour — twice as fast as standard calibers. Its silicon escapement fork and wheel ensure stable timekeeping, exceptional shock and magnetic resistance in daily wear, a 60-hour power reserve, and COSC certification. Encased in a lightweight 41mm titanium case and bracelet just 9.75mm thick, the watch is supremely comfortable. The dial features a black radiating pattern inspired by the eagle’s iris, accented by a vibrant orange arrow-shaped seconds hand and minute markers, offering striking visual contrast and crystal-clear readability.
