  • Artist Biography

    Chopard

    Swiss • 1860

    At the age of 24, Louis-Ulysse Chopard started his company L.U.C. Chopard in Sonviller, Switzerland. Since the brand's inception in 1860, Chopard understood the need for thin and accurate pocket watches to be functional for daily wear. The brand gained world recognition in 1912 after Tsar Nicolas II became a client.

    Following Louis-Ulysse's death in 1915, his sons Paul-Louis and Paul André took over the business and moved their headquarters to La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1963, the company was taken over by Karl Scheufele, who remains the brand's owner. Arguably Chopard's most recognizable design, the "Happy" line, was inspired by Scheufele's daughter Caroline. In 1996, his son Karl-Friedrich established Chopard as a manufacturer of its own range of in-house movements under the name L.U.C., creating groundbreaking, exquisitely finished watches that have earned the brand worldwide acclaim.

Ref. 298623-3001
The gorgeous Monta Rosa pink dial on this Chopard Alpine Eagle XPS has a texture inspired by the iris of its namesake bird and has more depth and texture than any other steel sports watch we can think of. Powered by an ultra-slim micro-rotor calibre with Geneva seal from the L.U.C. division, it has serious watch-making to back up the good looks borrowed from a historic model. Found in super crisp condition, complete with box and papers, and crafted in the super bright Lucent steel case. Not just another Genta clone.
