Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Gold

Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Rose Gold

Ethical gold, ‘Shades of Wood’ brown dial, chronometric precision and exceptional finishing

Following the Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Platinum model introduced in 2025, uniting the collection’s ultra-thin case crafted in a precious metal and fitted with a Chronometer-certified L.U.C movement, Chopard now presents the new Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Rose Gold. Crafted from 18‑carat ethical rose gold – from the case to the bracelet, including the hour and minute hands – it measures 41 mm in diameter, with a thinness of 8 mm. These balanced proportions give the watch a sleek and contemporary profile, completed by a redesigned bracelet.

Presented in a ‘Shades of Wood’ brown gradient, the ombré tones darken toward the edges like the natural rings revealed in a cross‑section of wood — a subtle nod to forests shaped by time and to the logs used in chalet construction that characterise the alpine landscape. The textured pattern, reminiscent of an eagle’s iris, creates a radiating play of light. Warm and richly nuanced, this gradient is further enhanced by a thin layer of translucent lacquer that adds depth. With central hours, minutes, and seconds (the ‘CS’ in the watch’s name indicates the central seconds display), the dial can be admired in all its harmony, with no additional indications that disturb the gradient’s balanced flow.

Thanks to the exceptional thinness of the in-house L.U.C Calibre 96.42‑L, Chopard can endow the Alpine Eagle 41 XP CS Gold with its refined 8 mm profile. At just 3.30 mm thin, this self‑winding movement includes a 22‑carat gold micro‑rotor that efficiently winds two stacked barrels, thanks to Chopard Twin technology, providing a 60-hour power reserve. The calibre is Chronometer‑certified (COSC) for precision and includes a stop‑seconds function and a swan’s neck regulator for fine adjustment.

Each component is meticulously finished by hand, with polished, bevelled and decorated surfaces in line with Poinçon de Genève standards. This prestigious hallmark guarantees exceptional craftsmanship for both the movement and the case. The Poinçon de Genève emblem appearing on the caseback and the movement bridge features the Geneva coat of arms with a golden key and an eagle, further echoing the Alpine Eagle theme.

The 18-carat ethical rose gold bracelet has been redesigned to improve comfort and elegance. The first five links display a more pronounced taper, while the narrower links near the clasp further highlight the watch’s overall thinness. This evolution includes a new comfort adjustment system integrated into the triple folding clasp. With a simple pull and push, the bracelet can extend by up to 5 mm, allowing for instant adaptation to temperature changes, wrist movement, or activity. This enhancement reflects Chopard’s ongoing commitment to combining technical excellence with everyday comfort.

“With this new ultra‑thin watch in ethical gold, we reveal the Alpine Eagle collection at its purest: precise, luminous, and deeply inspired by nature. Its dial, its movement and its proportions all reflect our pursuit of harmony between form and function”, said Chopard Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele.

Alpine Eagle Collection

The history of Alpine Eagle is deeply linked to the Scheufele family. In 1980, a young Karl‑Friedrich Scheufele (now Co‑President of Chopard) proposed the creation of the St. Moritz watch to his father, which became Chopard’s first steel sports timepiece. Forty years later, his own son Karl‑Fritz, discreetly supported by his grandfather, encouraged him to revisit this model. The reinterpretation gave birth to the Alpine Eagle collection, a symbol of a shared vision across three generations, where innovation, nature‑inspired design and family tradition merge to create a contemporary watch rich in symbolism.

Vertically integrated throughout its entire production process, Chopard produces and assembles all components of its Alpine Eagle creations in-house, from the movement to the case, even extending to the bracelet.

The collection benefits from the expertise developed over 30 years by Chopard Manufacture in Fleurier as well as from the L.U.C collection – named after Louis-Ulysse Chopard, the Maison’s founder in 1860. Since its launch, the Alpine Eagle collection has already been enriched with several complications, most notably a chronograph movement, a flying tourbillon, and a high‑frequency movement. All these timepieces meet the highest standards of certified fine watchmaking.

A Signature Design

The collection stands out with a strong design: a dial stamped with a sunburst motif reminiscent of an eagle’s iris, dial colours evoking the beauty of Alpine landscapes, a seconds hand with an eagle‑feather‑shaped counterweight, a crown engraved with a compass rose, an eight‑screw indexed bezel, an integrated bracelet combining comfort, fluidity and sporty elegance, and finally, contrasting brushed and polished finishes.

Chopard ethical gold

Chopard uses 100% ethical gold for the production of its watch and jewellery creations. Guided by the Scheufele family’s conviction that true luxury must be responsible, Chopard became the first luxury Maison to make such a commitment in 2018. As a family‑run company with a long‑term vision, the Maison is deeply invested in safeguarding future generations — a philosophy embodied in its Journey to Sustainable Luxury.

A L.U.C movement equipped with the Chopard Twin Technology

The L.U.C 96.42-L movement beating at the heart of this timepiece is equipped with the Chopard Twin Technology: this system, developed by Chopard Manufacture, uses two stacked barrels, allowing for an extended power reserve (approximately 65 hours) while preserving the calibre’s thin profile. As the barrels work in parallel, they supply more consistent energy. Integrated into several L.U.C calibres, this architecture enhances the stability of energy delivered to the balance wheel, improving precision.

Chronometer certification

The Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) independently certifies the precision of movements. Uncased movements undergo 15 days of testing in five positions and at three temperature ranges. All L.U.C movements featuring a seconds indication are subjected to this protocol, ensuring a daily rate variation between –4 and +6 seconds per day.

Poinçon de Genève

The Poinçon de Genève is an independent certification applied to the movement and to the entire watch. Introduced in 1886, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious distinctions in Swiss watchmaking. It imposes strict criteria regarding reliability, craftsmanship, and provenance (assembly, adjustment, and casing must be carried out within the Canton of Geneva).

The Alpine Eagle Foundation

The launch of the Alpine Eagle collection was accompanied by the creation of an eponymous Foundation. It was established by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, along with several specialists and lovers of the Alps. Its motto is "Preserving the Alps", and its projects aim to raise awareness, mobilise support, and take action on behalf of the entire Alpine region and the life it shelters. These initiatives notably include an ambitious plan to reintroduce the white‑tailed eagle around Lake Geneva, as well as a programme to protect the golden eagle in the Swiss Alps. Chopard directly contributes to the funding of the Foundation by donating a portion of the profits from the sales of some Alpine Eagle creations.
