Chopard Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon
With Alpine Eagle, Chopard has created a contemporary sports collection featuring a pure design and sophisticated mechanics. Benefitting from Chopard Manufacture’s watchmaking expertise and innovative developments, the Alpine Eagle collection encompasses a flyback chronograph movement, a high-frequency calibre and – since 2022 – a flying tourbillon movement. At just 3.30 mm thick, the L.U.C 96.24-L movement now powers this new Alpine Eagle Flying Tourbillon model: Chopard is the only Manufacture whose flying tourbillon watches bear double Chronometer and Poinçon de Genève certification. Featuring a case measuring 41 mm in diameter and an integrated bracelet, this timepiece is crafted entirely in the Maison's workshops from Lucent SteelTM, Chopard’s exclusive, ultra-resistant steel made with a recycling rate of at least 80%. A 6 o’clock opening on its textured “Rhône Blue” dial reveals a transparent and light tourbillon mechanism that endows the entire creation with its elegantly sophisticated character.
