Swiss luxury watchmaker Chopard has been the artisan of emotion since 1860, and one look at their latest Imperiale timepiece in ethical 18-carat white gold enlivens your feminine side. Graceful, green, and gorgeous, the collection evocatively named Imperiale by Chopard Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele in 2010 has made a comeback with this masterpiece that brings a motley of color and design to your wrists in the most dainty and delicate flair.
The timepiece flaunts a 36 mm diameter enhanced by a diamond-set bezel, lug covers, cabochons, and crown. It is undoubtedly the dial that catches a collector’s attention with its unmatched marquetry that Chopard has mastered over the years. In the case of the Imperiale, the god lies in the details and vibrancy of the deep blue-green enamel that offers the perfect deep-hued background for the raised white gold decorative filet forming an ornate trellis filled with white enamel. It is interrupted only by the ebullience of the Padparadscha sapphires and pink mother-of-pearl flowers that complete this delightful bouquet-of-a-timepiece.
At the heart of the case beats the Chopard 96.17-C movement equipped with Chopard Twin technology with a double barrel, providing a generous 65-hour power reserve. The wristwatch is perfectly complemented by the Imperiale alligator leather strap that matches the dial to the T, and dagger-shaped hands. The exceptional Imperiale in 18K white gold is available at Chopard boutiques, price available on request.
