Chopard masterfully balances its dual identities as a watchmaking titan and a renowned jeweller, a distinction vividly exemplified by co-presidents Karl-Friedrich Scheufele and his sister Caroline. Under their leadership, the brand’s watchmaking precision and jewellery artistry converge to create timepieces that transcend mere functionality and become true works of art.
The latest additions to Chopard’s Alpine Eagle and Happy Sport collections display its craftsmanship at its best. As these timepieces demonstrate, watchmaking precision and jewellery opulence can enhance and complement one another.
Happy Sport 33mm
Since its debut in 1993, the Happy Sport has captured the spirit of the modern woman with its bold fusion of steel and diamonds—a combination truly revolutionary at the time. This collection has become synonymous with Chopard’s playful yet sophisticated approach to watchmaking, where the dance of floating diamonds on the dial mirrors the wearer’s joie de vivre.
The latest addition is a limited 250-piece edition that embodies this exuberance in a luminous blue palette. Enclosed in a diamond-paved bezel, the silver-toned dial, featuring a finely guilloché centre, is animated by a ballet of aquamarines—a first for this line—and Chopard’s signature dancing diamonds. The vibrant blue extends through to the alligator strap and the aquamarine crown, infusing the watch with a fresh, joyful spirit.
Crafted from the brand’s exclusive Lucent Steel—an alloy made from at least 80 percent recycled materials—the Happy Sport 33mm is driven by the Chopard 09.01-C self-winding movement, which delivers a 42-hour power reserve.
With this timepiece, we combine the expertise of our gemsetters with that of our watchmakers, reflecting our heritage in these two artistic crafts perfected over the course of our history—along with our lengthy experience in selecting cut stones. Entirely crafted in our workshops, the Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit reflects our appreciation of ultimate sophistication.

Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit
Introduced in 2019, the Alpine Eagle reinterprets Chopard’s iconic St. Moritz watch from the late 1970s, embodying contemporary sporty chic with a refined edge. The latest iteration, the Alpine Eagle 41 XP Frozen Summit, takes luxury sports watches to new heights.
Presented in ethical white gold, it features hundreds of diamonds, each cut to fit seamlessly across the dial, bezel, crown, and integrated bracelet. The baguettes, chosen for their geometric precision, enhance the watch’s interplay with light. When their shape does not align with the surface, each diamond is meticulously reshaped to ensure that as little metal as possible is visible.
The process of assembling, arranging, and setting these gems, which share consistent brilliance and size, requires over 800 hours of work. The result, however, is well worth the effort as they appear to mirror the celestial beauty of stars reflected on glaciers.
Beyond its dazzling appearance, the watch is a marvel of technical expertise. Powered by the ultra-thin L.U.C 96.41-L movement, it features an off-centred micro-rotor in 22k gold, ensuring efficient winding and delivering a 65-hour power reserve. The movement, visible through a transparent caseback, is a showcase of Chopard’s commitment to traditional watchmaking, earning the prestigious Poinçon de Genève for its exemplary craftsmanship
