Showcasing its impeccable artistic prowess, Chopard’s newest Imperiale watch is a reflection of nature’s perfection. Crafted in either ethical 18K white or rose gold, the elegant dial of this 36mm watch is crafted using mother-of-pearl and enamel marquetry. This white gold version, with a case entirely set with diamonds, features a teal-colored enamel background against which white enamel and pink mother-of-pearl flowers spring to life. Some have ‘opened’ petal centers — each set with padparadscha sapphires. The strategic placement of the flowers on the dial forms a geometric pattern that resembles an arabesque motif. The watch is powered by the 167-part Chopard 96.17-C mechanical movement. Each watch features distinctive Chopard elements, including dagger-style hands, a lotus- flower crown and column-shaped lugs.

Complications prove no hindrance to Chopard, but rather characterize its craftsmanship as the brand has sought to perfect watchmaking since its establishment in 1996. Its flying tourbillon movement has been awarded a patent due to the meticulous precision that it possesses; the mechanism functioning to automatically bring the second hand to a halt when the crown is pulled out for time-setting.This improved accuracy achieved in the very smallest fragment of time is just one example of Chopard's fixation with precision. Evidenced by its array of exceptional watches, collections such as the Métiers d'art, epitomize the finest of horological craftsmanship and artistry. Personified by layered fragments, the plants, birds and polar bears found on these timepieces pay tribute to the beauty of nature.The Poinçon de Genève collection further infuses longstanding, independent standards of watchmaking into contemporary design to guarantee quality, and the limited-edition L.U.C Full Strike Sapphire watch unveiled by Chopard in 2022 equally flaunts excellence through modern design. Boasting a sapphire case and bridge to the minute repeater, this watch not only ticks with timely melody but is complexly composed of a 533-part movement.
