Alpine Eagle Evolution
Since its revival in 2019, the Alpine Eagle collection has won praise for its textured dials inspired by the natural colors of the Alpine landscape. Likewise, each model in the new Summit range tells a unique story.

First, the gold “Golden Peak” version is inspired by the rocky summit of Mont Blanc, so named by 19th-century scientist James David Forbes for the mountain’s shimmering golden light.

Secondly, the rose gold replica mens watches is equipped with a “pink dawn” dial, which is reminiscent of the morning sun in the mountains.

Finally, there are two models in white gold: first, the “Vals Grey” version with a silver dial and a bezel set with gradient tsavorites, recalling the pastel colors of the Alpine forests.

Finally, the white gold “Zinal Blue” model’s charming color-changing dial achieved with PVD coating technology is proof of Caroline-Marie’s commitment to innovation.

“The color-changing dial on the Zinal Blue model was an exciting project. It required more creative work and research to perfect, but it is 100% made in-house, utilizing different layers of PVD coating technology to create the chameleon effect,” explains Caroline-Marie.

The Art of Gem Setting
As mentioned, the bezel of each Alpine Eagle Summit is adorned with carefully set baguette-cut gemstones that echo the color of the dial and add a touch of sparkle. This delicate gemstone setting is both understated and dazzling, transporting the observer into the natural splendor of the Swiss Alps. Furthermore, as Caroline-Marie points out, this is a testament to Chopard’s heritage in the art of gem selection and setting: “Combining jewelery with watchmaking has always been natural for us, as we are experts in both. A good example of this is the LUC Metiers d'Art watch or the LUC Flying T Twin Ladies buy watch replica, which features a flying tourbillon and a diamond-set dial and bezel.

“The Alpine Eagle Summit collection is the perfect marriage of two worlds. What makes this project different for me is the way in which two different processes intersect. More specifically, because I had to work within the limited space of the bezel, So I need to use the creative imagination I get from making jewelry.”

The story of each model is told not only through the color of the dial, but also through its gemstones, with pink sapphires on the "Golden Peak" model, subtle blue and purple sapphires on the "Zinal Blue" model, and blue on the "Vals Grey" model and purple sapphires. version flourishes in a range of green tsavorite shades, while the “Pink Dawn” version boasts white sapphires and spessartite garnets with a unique orange hue.
