Chopard Alpine Eagle: La Elegancia del Oro y la Sostenibilidad

Durante la historia de la relojería, el oro ha sido sinónimo de elegancia y lujo. Sin embargo, Chopard, una marca de relojes con una visión única, ha sabido combinar la belleza del oro con la sostenibilidad en su impresionante creación: el Alpine Eagle. En este artículo, exploraremos cómo Chopard ha logrado crear una pieza única que combina el encanto del oro con el compromiso con el medio ambiente y la ética.

El Origen del Alpine Eagle

Chopard sorprendió al mundo de la relojería en 1980 cuando presentó su primer reloj deportivo original, el St. Moritz. Diseñado por Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, este reloj fue una combinación perfecta de deportividad y sofisticación. Además del acero, Chopard ofrecía versiones de dos tonos y oro sólido, mostrando desde sus inicios su versatilidad y maestría en el manejo de diferentes metales.

La Responsabilidad de Chopard

Chopard no solo se destaca por su diseño y calidad, sino también por su compromiso con la sostenibilidad y la ética en la fabricación de sus relojes. Utilizando acero Lucent Steel, compuesto por un 70% de acero reciclado y un 30% de material extraído de minas cercanas en Europa, Chopard demuestra su preocupación por reducir el impacto ambiental. Además, desde 2018, Chopard es miembro del Responsible Jewellery Council, asegurando que todo el oro utilizado en sus piezas provenga de fuentes éticas y se pueda rastrear hasta su origen.

El Movimiento Interno Certificado

El Alpine Eagle de 36 mm está impulsado por el calibre 09.01-C, un movimiento interno certificado por el COSC, que garantiza una precisión excepcional. Chopard se enorgullece de su capacidad para diseñar y producir sus propios movimientos, lo que asegura la calidad y fiabilidad de cada reloj.

El Diseño del Alpine Eagle

El Alpine Eagle de 36 mm con acabado bicolor presenta un intrincado brazalete con un centro de oro rosa ético de 18 quilates. Los detalles de pulido y acabado hacen que este reloj sea un verdadero ejemplo de artesanía y diseño innovador. La combinación de acero y oro rosa crea un contraste impresionante que realza la belleza de la pieza.

El Dial y su Inspiración

El dial del Alpine Eagle está inspirado en el iris de un águila, rodeado de oro rosa. Los índices dorados flotan sobre el dial con un patrón radial, creando un efecto hipnótico y fascinante. Cada detalle del dial es meticulosamente elaborado, lo que demuestra la atención al detalle de Chopard.

El Chopard Alpine Eagle es un testimonio de la maestría y el compromiso de la marca con la excelencia, la sostenibilidad y la ética. Con su diseño impresionante y su compromiso con materiales éticos, Chopard ha logrado combinar la elegancia del oro con un enfoque responsable hacia el medio ambiente. Si buscas un reloj que refleje la belleza y la conciencia ecológica, el Alpine Eagle es la elección perfecta.

Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2021

A little history

The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève is a foundation that was created in 2011 that promotes the watchmaking art. Every year in November, it organises an awards ceremony in Geneva, Switzerland.

Any watch brand can participate with watches that are commercially available after March and before the end of October of the current year. They simply send an end entry form and present one or more watches.

The award given to winners of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève resembles a hand, which symbolises the knowhow and mastery that is essential in the watchmaking crafts. It was created by the Genevan painter and graphic designer Roger Pfund.

GPHG 2021

The winners of GPHG 2021 was released on the 4th of November.

Other awards won

The Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36000 80 Hours Calibre 9SA5 model by Seiko won the Men’s Watch Prize. This marvel combines a striking dial with a state-of-the-art manufacture movement.

Tell me what watch you wear and I will tell you what you are like! If your eyes are the mirror of your soul, your wristwatch can also be the mirror of your personality! At Geneve Company, we will help you choose the perfect model.

With the advent of the smartwatch, the wristwatch has become a stylish accessory as well as a practical and lightweight way to keep you on time. However, in the professional world, the wristwatch remains essential and acts as a symbol of nonverbal communication that reveals to those around you both your style and your personality. So, choose a timepiece that best expresses who you are – there are many brands to choose from! Here are five timepieces available at Geneve Company that are highly coveted in the world of luxury watches.

Elegant and classic with PATEK PHILIPPE

Renowned for having been chosen by royalty like Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, a watch by the Swiss brand Patek Philippe conveys a classic, elegant and traditional look with a watch passed down from generation to generation!

Originally designed for aviation, this Swiss brand quickly became popular with its now-iconic emblematic chronometers. With a Breitling on your wrist, you will be the person who expresses class and luxury in beautiful simplicity.

Did you know?

“Time is money” is an expression dating back to the mid-18th century attributed to Benjamin Franklin. In his work Advice to a Young Tradesman, Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Remember that time is money”. While there are many translations in many languages, the expression always means the same thing: use your time wisely to earn the most money!

And the main role goes to.. Chopard !

sin tempio para morir

On the occasion of the release of the latest James Bond film, we organised an event on 1 October in Geneva. The programme included cocktails, a meal and a screening of the film. A unique moment to admire this long-awaited film and to marvel at the Omega Semaster 007 James Bond and the sublime creations of Chopard. This year, Chopard has the honour of being the official partner of this movie This 25th film features Ana de Armas playing the role of Paloma. Here is a look at the pieces appearing in the film.

Chopard dazzles us with its creations

Caroline Scheufele, Chopard’s co-president and artistic director, regularly collaborates with cinematic works. And this time her brand is tasked with bringing an extra touch of glamour and elegance to No Time to Die with its exceptional creations. One of the film’s highlights shows Paloma wearing a necklace set with 43 pear-cut diamonds. Her wrist, moreover, flaunts a bracelet featuring 82 pear- and brilliant-cut diamonds. To complete this full diamond look are a pair of earrings set with 14 pear-cut diamonds. More than a simple partnership, Chopard sought to exemplify a new luxury.

Fine jewellery that respects humans and nature

The film also shows the actress wearing three other creations from the Green Carpet collection. The amazing set is crafted entirely from sustainably sourced materials. Fairmined gold is in fact ethically certified. In addition, the diamonds come from suppliers who are members of the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council). Caroline Scheufele is proud to present this collection of sustainable luxury. Attractive and at the same time ethical pieces made by Chopard. Luxury is evolving, and the brand is harnessing this new opportunity to shine brightly on the big screen!

Chopard moves towards a sustainable world

In 2013, the manufacturer embarked on a journey toward sustainable luxury and has not stopped since

2 min read

The worlds of jewellery and watches will always be connected to mining, allowing jewellery- and watchmakers to obtain different materials and stones to create pieces.

Mining is an activity that has been conducted since ancient times and in which people are forced to work in precarious conditions. It is also harmful in terms of deforestation, water pollution and alteration, destruction of habitats, and much more.

Traditional placer mining

At Geneve Company, we are working to make sustainability part of our brand, and we help to provide information so that concerned customers can understand more about the jewellery we sell at our shops.

Fine watch and jewellery brands are gradually realising that this issue is of utmost importance, which is why they have decided to make major changes with regard to the materials they use to create their products.

Chopard is one of the top manufacturers that began moving toward sustainability many years ago by seeking out ways to protect and preserve the Earth and by helping the people involved in obtaining the raw materials it uses for its products, all in the context of its Journey to Sustainable Luxury project.

Fairmined gold

Chopard and its ethical gold

Chopard uses gold as a raw material in most of its pieces, and it strives to ensure that the gold it uses in its project is mined in a fully responsible way for its entire production. The gold in these pieces is Fairmined gold, meaning that it is certified as coming from artisanal and small-scale mines.

Fairmined is committed to making artisanal mining a responsible activity and represents an opportunity for development for artisanal and small-scale miners throughout the world.

As a result, Chopard is able to responsibly obtain 100% ethical gold complying with the best environmental practices while helping everyone who is involved in its supply chain.  

At Geneve, we are pleased to work directly with brands like Chopard that have a mission and vision that are exceptionally valuable for our planet and involve the world of jewellery. We are always happy to provide customers with all the information they need to understand more about the jewellery we distribute.

The L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Ox by Chopard

Jewellery and watches are what sell best on the Chinese market. Indeed, in 2018, the country accounted for 30% of spending in the luxury market, and this number continues to rise. Hence, major brands in the industry compete harder and harder to attract the attention of Chinese consumers.

Chinese travellers in Europe are important for tourism, because they are who buy most when travelling, since it is cheaper for them to buy in Europe than in China.

Chinese New Year (also known as the Spring Festival) is the most important celebration in the Asian country and in many of its neighbouring countries. This year will begin on 12 February 2021 and end on 31 January 2022. When celebrating Chinese New Year, those living in China often take holidays lasting anywhere between two weeks and a month and a half, making it the best time to travel to Europe to buy gifts for loved ones.

In this regard, Chopard is one of the major brands that participates in the festivities by coming out with new products. The Maison surprises connoisseurs again this year with a stunning, unique, elegant watch that embraces superior ancient Asian craftsmanship, the L.U.C XP Urushi Year of the Ox. It is a timepiece dedicated to the Year of the Metal Ox, an animal that, according to the Chinese horoscope, is favourable to harvests, wisdom and loyalty.

Its dial in Urushi, a special Asian lacquer made from the sap of the Toxicodendron vernicifluum tree, is crafted by Japanese lacquer masters to reveal a scene that evokes ancient labours, humble prosperity and timeless elegance. It also features gold, representing good fortune.

Urushi is an ancient Asian lacquering technique used for an array of items

The 88-piece limited edition has an in-house LUC 96.17-L movement that has been entirely developed, produced and assembled at the Chopard High Watchmaking workshops. This self-winding mechanical movement oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz) and has a power reserve of nearly 65 hours thanks to Twin technology, a system invented by Chopard combining two coaxial barrels.

The dial portrays the Metal Ox, the Chinese Zodiac sign of 2021

The undeniable centrepiece of this model is its dial, which is adorned with gold flakes that illuminate the background and shows the golden ox with straight horns harnessed to a cart made out of gold, mother-of-pearl and coloured lacquer.

The ultra-slim rose gold case measures 39.5 mm in diameter and 6.80 mm thick

Details of the watch

It boasts an 18-carat gold case and a crown in the same material. It is water resistant to 30 metres and set on a matte black alligator leather strap with hand-sewn matching tones. The timepiece indicates hours and minutes with a self-winding mechanical movement. Limited edition of 88 pieces.

At its heart beats a LUC 96.17-L movement
