We continue to introduce Chopard’s Watches & Wonders 2024 new product. Due to the rather long holiday, the follow-up article update has been unintentionally delayed. Chopard has focused again on the Alpine Eagle collection, which has already celebrated its 5th anniversary this year, and has released a variety of new products. In addition, the brand showed off its power with a variety of new products for men and women, including L.U.C, Mille Miglia, Imperiale, L’Heure du Diamant, and Happy Sport.

The new product for 2024, the Alpine Eagle 41 XP TT, already contains a lot of meaning in its product name. As the initials ‘XP’, which stands for extra-plat, and ‘TT’, which stands for Tech Titanium, imply, it features a thin automatic movement and a titanium case and bracelet. In addition, this year, for the first time in the Alpine Eagle collection, the openwork movement is exposed on the dial surface, emphasizing the technical aesthetics befitting the name ‘Technical Titanium (TT)’.
Most of the case and bracelet have a satin-brushed finish, while some edges and links are polished. Achieving this level of luxurious finish with grade 5 titanium is a very laborious task. To the naked eye, you can’t tell the difference from the existing Lucent Steel™, but the true value of this replica watches is clearly revealed in its weight. The significantly lighter weight compared to steel and the unique openwork/skeleton movement highlight the individuality of the model.
In addition to differentiated exterior materials, the in-house automatic caliber L.U.C 96.17-S was used as a movement, which is different from the existing Alpine Eagle. This is the first automatic skeletonized movement of the micro-rotor type that debuted in the L.U.C collection in 2015. It can be said to be a literally skeletonized variation based on the manufacture’s Butter & Bread base caliber L.U.C 96.01-L. However, instead of the existing rhodium coating, the entire main plate and bridge are matt sandblasted and finished in ruthenium gray color, creating a subtle harmony with the sports-chic identity of the Alpine Eagle collection and the grade 5 titanium case/bracelet.

Like the original base, the caliber is only 3.3mm thick thanks to the 22K yellow gold micro-rotor design, but the so-called Chopard Twin technology, which consists of two layers of overlapping barrels, guarantees a generous power reserve of 65 hours. . However, like other L.U.C calibers, it did not receive certification from the Swiss Official Chronometer Institute (COSC). Thanks to the ultra-thin caliber, the case thickness is as slim as 8mm, contributing to excellent wearing comfort. The proprietary movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case back, and it is water resistant to a practical 100m.

Since 2001, Valentine’s Day on February 14 each year has become a special holiday for Blancpain and women to meet and collide with each other. In 2021, Blancpain reinvented the classics and launched the 21st Valentine’s Day gift-a limited edition of 28 pieces of the classic V-series women’s “goose-egg window” calendar watch Valentine’s Day.

As a gift to the occasion of Valentine’s Day, the new watch shows the beauty of lightness. The white mother-of-pearl dial seems to invite people to soar into the clouds, where Cupid is naughty dodge the pulse of the lovers who were hit by the arrow of the god of love. The second hand of the watch is like the source of nostalgia, with a crimson love heart dancing lightly between the ticking points, which contrasts with the red alligator leather strap. The hour and minute hands are all hollowed out, showing the elegant beauty of the timepiece, while the diamond-encrusted scale ring and bezel add to this unique temperament.
For Blancpain, women are both muses and leaders who know how to choose art. The brand draws inspiration from their inherent unique temperament, creates tender and brilliant timing masterpieces, and injects them with agile vitality with a mechanical mechanism that fully demonstrates the courage of women. The Rhythmic Soul contained in the 33.2 mm diameter red gold case of this romantic timepiece is the automatic movement of Blancpain 1151. This high-end watchmaking movement is derived from the famous 1150 movement, equipped with a silicon balance spring, with a power reserve of up to four days and a date display function, which fully demonstrates Blancpain’s aesthetic concept from the inside out. Through the sapphire glass case back, the exquisite hand-crafted decorations on the movement are clearly identifiable, which fully demonstrates the beauty of timekeeping.
Since the brand created the first self-winding ladies’ watch in 1930, Blancpain has forged an indissoluble bond with women. Three years later, Betty Fiechter took over the company and became the first female head of Blancpain, which further consolidated the emotional connection between the brand and women. In the next few years, the brand launched a series of masterpieces of ladies’ replica watches, representing Blancpain’s cherishment and respect for women’s appreciation of the beauty of machinery.
The 2021 Valentine’s Day limited edition of the classic V series women’s “goose egg window” calendar watch is a brand new symbol of lasting true love. Its low-key and elegant design embodies the essence of Blancpain’s unique style, making this diamond-encrusted timepiece a true classic. The limited edition of Valentine’s Day 2021 is limited to 28 pieces, allowing you to give a priceless love to her beloved in this life.
