For sophisticated women, a watch is not merely a timekeeping instrument but also a precious piece of jewelry that reflects class and aesthetic taste. The Chopard Imperiale collection is a vivid testament to the perfect fusion of horological artistry and exquisite craftsmanship, celebrating the regal beauty of women.
First launched in 2010, the Imperiale collection not only sparks curiosity with its name but also draws attention with its luxurious design and entirely in-house manufactured movements. Each watch in this collection is the result of a refined collaboration between artisans, from crafting the case, and movement, to the intricate work of gemstone setting, enameling, and mother-of-pearl painting.
Chopard Imperiale: Elegant Design and Exquisite Craftsmanship
In the latest edition of the Imperiale collection, Chopard continues to assert its position in the world of high-end watches with a refined and unique design. This model features a 36mm diameter case crafted from 18k white gold, with a bezel, lugs, round-cut stones, and crown adorned with diamonds, creating a dazzling and luxurious appearance.
The dial is a true work of art, inspired by the finest achievements in decorative arts. The blue-green enamel background, bordered by raised white gold decorative bands, forms a sophisticated swirling pattern. The combination of Padparadscha sapphires and pink mother-of-pearl flowers completes this stunning picture, giving the watch a distinctive and regal beauty. The watch is further enhanced by an Imperiale alligator leather strap and dagger-shaped hands.
A High-End Movement: Chopard 96.17-C
Not only does it stand out with its design, but the Chopard Imperiale watch is also equipped with a high-end mechanical movement, entirely designed and developed in-house at Chopard’s workshops. Through the transparent case back, the wearer can admire the Chopard 96.17-C movement, a technical masterpiece featuring Twin Technology, including twin barrels, offering an impressive power reserve of up to 65 hours.
The movement is only 3.3 mm thick but contains 167 intricate components, demonstrating the skill and meticulousness of Chopard’s artisans in even the smallest details. This is not just a watch; it is a symbol of top-tier craftsmanship, reflecting Chopard’s commitment to elevating the art of watchmaking.
With the Imperiale collection, Chopard has transcended the limits of a conventional watch, turning it into a true work of art. Every detail of this timepiece is not only the result of intricate technique but also the culmination of love and passion for the art of watchmaking. The Chopard Imperiale is not only a symbol of elegance and refinement but also a clear testament to the evolution of craftsmanship in the watchmaking industry.
