It was just a year ago that Chopard unveiled the all-new Alpine Eagle collection that was inspired by the vintage St Moritz series from decades earlier. Now, Chopard takes the collection to new heights with the 44mm Alpine Eagle XL Chrono. Housing the Chopard 03.05-C automatic COSC certified chronometer movement, the 44mm flyback chronograph watch features a compass rose and date in addition to chronograph and time-keeping functions. The 310-part mechanical movement is visible via a sapphire caseback.

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.
