Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit
Chopard expands its Alpine Eagle collection by introducing the Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit, a limited edition watch in ethical 18-carat white gold entirely set with diamonds.
Chopard’s Alpine Eagle is a contemporary sporty-chic collection featuring pure design and sophisticated mechanics. Unveiled during Watches and Wonders 2024, the Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit combines the Maison’s watchmaking and jewellery expertise. The 41 mm-diameter case, as well as the entire dial, bezel, crown and integrated bracelet in ethical 18-carat white gold, are set with meticulously cut diamonds.
The Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit model proudly showcases the art of gem-setting cultivated by the Maison’s skilled artisans. They have painstakingly recut several hundred diamonds and set them on the case, dial and bezel, as well as on each facet of the crown and each link of the bracelet in ethical 18-carat white gold.
The Alpine Eagle XP 41 Frozen Summit timepiece is powered by the L.U.C 96.41-L movement, which boasts the highest degree of refined finishing.
An evolved version of the first calibre presented by the Manufacture in 1996, the new ultra-thin L.U.C 96.41-L movement features an off-centred micro-rotor in 22-carat gold, whose high inertia ensures efficient winding of two barrels. Stacked in accordance with Chopard Twin technology, while preserving the movement’s overall 3.30 mm thickness, they store the energy required to guarantee a total 65-hour power reserve.
All the bridges have been carefully chamfered and adorned with a Côtes de Genève motif: a wealth of details that can be admired through the transparent case-back and which have met the demanding standards laid down by the authorities responsible for granting the prestigious Poinçon de Genève.
Throughout its vertically integrated production process, Chopard makes and assembles all the components of its Alpine Eagle collection in-house, from movement to case to bracelet.
The entire timepiece is certified by the Poinçon de Genève hallmark guaranteeing the quality and smooth functioning of the watches assembled in the Canton. Appearing in the wake of the Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon and Alpine Eagle 41 XPS models, this Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit is the third watch in the collection to be awarded this prestigious label of excellence.
The proportions of the Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit have been optimised thanks to its thin movement: maintaining a total 41-millimetre diameter, the gem-set case is just 9 mm thick, while the flanks and bezel have been trimmed down compared with a classic Alpine Eagle 41 model and thus provide a wider opening onto the diamond-paved dial.
